Love to see a novel there. How about White Noise by DeLillo? More about post-secondary, but a real assumption-challenger.

Really? I’m a 64-year old teacher, but you must be much older than me.

Learned about others by always taking the other side and learning points of view and about people by long discussions and arguing points of view. Also learned when trying to explain something simple to fellow students and failing, that I had to learn to explain it in an entirely different way, even to a third way. Don’t know why I was aware of this in Junior HIgh, but could sense others not understanding the teacher and ask the question about something I knew to help others. Guess, my mother was a teacher and a d… good one other teachers relied on.

My favorite passage concerns the demise of the Dodo bird which coincided with Newton’s revolutionary laws that helped explain Physics.

Gardner, hooks, the predictable “brain science” nonsense. Well, at least Zinn and Kozol made it. How about just about anything by Alfie Kohn?

Other People’s Children and Lisa Delphos other books about her experiences as an educator are not only inspiring for educators, but eye-opening when read by a white middle class person. Great list!
