As i have blogged before, I posted my shortened thesis on Facebook and Twitter

I didnt have as much response as I was hoping
but at least I was expecting a lack of response
(I wont go into why haha)

As far as Twitter... I didnt get any response
I was expecting that because I dont use Twitter
but I did have an English teacher start following me!

(as well as some random porn fake accounts...)

But on facebook I had a couple responses
I had one teacher who commented on how she always tries to find ways to spice things up
I also had another teacher comment that he felt ALL teaching needs to be modernized

That just got me thinking about how while this paper focuses directly on Shakespeare
There really is this over all problem with the teaching techniques that are happening in schools everywhere
and while the government has mandated new core curriculum and instated the no child left behind,
I wonder if things are really changing?

I have had some people say to me "well i love Shakespeare;  I had a great experience"
and that makes me sad because i feel that people are blind to what is happening in our schools
people are blind to the fact that there are a lot of students struggling
and even if it isnt A LOT or an huge statistic

shouldnt every student be able to succeed?

I think people need to be careful about making blanket assumptions that they had a good experience so it must not be a problem -- and this applies to everything!

alright



i dont know how i got off on that haha

but I am noticing a trend that everyone seems to be at the same place with our papers
-- i see that place as a place of needing more time. more hours in the day. more bodily energy.
more time to allow the papers to develop and come together more.
just too many things in too short of time.

I feel like now I spent too much time on social proof and trying to bring everything together
when i should have been spending more time on the actual paper writing

dont you wish you had a  time turner sometimes....
