I am a Highschool Social Studies Teacher ask me something

[PPLSIntiative]

hey do you know of any books that focus just on the battles between the haves and have nots in this country. I need that I teach U.S. history next semester. there is a lot that is left out you'r 100% correct

Not in this country, I'm not sure. Most of what you find are essays and research. Anything from Western exploitation of African goods, to India and Pakistan Foreign relations. There's tons of stuff out there it's just not coalesced into a single book. If you wanna talk haves and have nots then discuss western foreign policy when it comes to africa going back from today all the way to the HRE.

You can find some books by Howard Zinn, he has one specifically dealing with protest movements, but it again deals with America.

You're really reaching for it. The book is better. Miss you are falsely starting to make me believe that their are teachers who give a damn. Have them ready "The Banking Concept of Education" by Paulo Freire. I read this my freshman year at U of I and in turned my world upside down. IF you truly want to turn them into critical thinkers and conscientious students this essay will turn many towards that path.

What do you teach about Haiti and the Haitian Revolution and Presidents from the 1800- now?

 

[caddo man]

Are you teaching kids about the government makeup?
What I mean is what every branch job is?
I hate to hear people talking about how there streets are messed up and blame it on the president. How about blame your state representative and your councilman.

Does it pay off to be the "cool, understanding" teacher? Cuz i imagine alot of kids would try to get over on you if your too nice.....

 

[lordhonka2]

How many kids of militant black people ask you dumb ass questions about white people then refuse to do homework because they think it helps the white man?

Do you teach at an urban or a suburban school?

It's gonna sound crazy if u not from here but both it is in a suburban area but the kids ,some, are from the city

[lordhonka2]

So how often do you do grading curves cuz of the dumbazz kids?

[playmaker88]

Are you mindful of giving them some sort of cultural identity/esteem past.. lil wayne and lebron james.. when giving them nuggets of information when teaching about who we are/were and where we came from?

Yo have you ever let a female student give you sexual favors for a a+

nope but i have had female students that were sexually agressive. especially when i first started teaching. there was this student who would come and ask me a question and put her titties on my arm. i was 23 she was 18 and bad but. I couldnt i was her teacher it wasnt right. She actually found me on face book about 3 year ago and wanted to hang out but i was dating my wife at the time. wasnt ment to be glad i didnt though. it just aint right. I had another student that used to wear really short skirts and sit infront of class with her legs open. I eventually just taught from the back of the class.
