I had a really really terrible elementary experience, and the sixth and seventh grades were the worst. I think it's so important to have teachers in those grades who want to be there -- I could have been spared so much damage if my teachers had been even slightly competent.
And along the lines of college students sometimes equal OHGOODLORDWHYAREN'TYOUDEDFROMDUMBYET -- in my FOURTH YEAR class on Gender and Sanctity in the middle ages, there were a LOT of people who needed to have the idea of the holy trinity explained. At length. Also, in my contemporary Canadian Lit course (that prof is a whole 'nother story...groan...) the majority of the class was shocked -- shocked! -- at the face that in the novel set in Rural, coastal Newfoundland pre-WW2, there were tensions btw Catholics and Pratestants! How do you get to that level in school and NOT KNOW THESE THINGS ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH....
Ok, deep breaths. ALSO, I'm loving 'Another One Like It Tomorrow' -- i keep forgetting to leave feedback! It is so amazing -- my mind, she is blown.
