Joshua,
I taught in housing commision schools fer years and didn’t
take long ter find out that the best thing I could do fer students
was ter give them skills. encourage them ter trust in their own
capacities and discover that learning is worth while. I threw
everything at them, incorporated drama, not really a drama-
music teacher but what the heck, dare ter make mistakes. We
laughed, crashed and got back on our bikes Helping young
people ter become autonomous is the best thing yer can do fer
them.
And do yer think, Joshua, that people here on Judith’s site don’t
know about living on the littoral? Many here are likely ter be
untenured, out there risk – takers, some self made men
and women.
