Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

Cascading Challenges: A Choreographed Approach to Sustained Student Inquiry shar.es/aodW01 via @TLX_ED An article from 2017 but still important and valid. Why teach with limiting themes when you can invite exploration and innovation?

The Mistake Imperative—Why We Must Get Over Our Fear of Student Error edutopia.org/article/mistak… If you do big things, you make big mistakes! I love the idea of rough draft thinking and modelling making mistakes and learning from them.
