My one question is...Some strong stuff here, Cimino. My one question is about the link to the word "homosexuality." The link directs to a site decrying an assumed agenda of "teaching homosexuality in schools." By linking to it, you are implying that Viklund may be somehow responsible for teaching his students how to be gay, which appears to be sinful in the eyes of the person behind the site you linked to. That is the subtext by creating such a link. Was it subtext that you intended? If so, do you think it stays on topic with your post?Cap'n Fatbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842687404949367461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272851440868227126.post-7185954402093926452010-03-17T02:50:15.714-04:002010-03-17T02:50:15.714-04:00Awesome post.

As an education major, I've been particularly socialized to think in regard to teacher (don't get me wrong, I've bullshitted my way through things too). At least you looked at it from a teachers standpoint. I've seen some of my friends papers and I pray for their professors. I personally am kind of a social darwinism type of person. You know, everyman for himself. I intend to take that approach to my students.Shooter24https://www.blogger.com/profile/08592187174241044935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272851440868227126.post-18807677240336823172010-03-16T21:56:52.292-04:002010-03-16T21:56:52.292-04:00I like this post.

I too bullshitted as many papers I could during high school, but like you said teachers can sometimes tell when you don’t actually know the information. The topic you decided to respond to was very interesting. I agree when you say that the teacher should say something to his kids about the offensive writing but I disagree with failing the student or even making him write about something different. If a student is given an open topic then they should be able to write about whatever they want even if it does offend others.OSU PINNEYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734342662701797298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272851440868227126.post-78892616058015778452010-03-15T23:36:03.860-04:002010-03-15T23:36:03.860-04:00This post was a good read because it brought to my...This post was a good read because it brought to my attention how teachers must feel when they read students papers. I can understand how they must feel but at the same time I thought about how I bullshit papers. But at the same time I still do bullshit papers just because it is sometimes more convenient. <br /><br />You are right though it must really suck for the teachers. Having to read bullshit papers that could possibly offend the teachers. If I were a teacher I would still give out papers just to see what students are talking about. I think it would be funny to read bullshit papers.Hillbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883942521711152056noreply@blogger.com
