the romantic revolution

2006-10-31T23:08:00.000-08:00

if only it was only about revolution and liberation,
if it only took teachers of color,
and a social justice curriculum,
if it was only so easy,

its much harder,
it takes experience, funding, guidance, trust and committment,
often we think that we exist outside the realities of education,
the realities of poverty and internalized oppression,
the realities of drugs and violence,
but the truth is, we don't
our movement is among the masses,
masses that don't always want to move,
masses that don't always want to be free,
so we try and try,
we must hold tight to our romanticized notions of revolutionary education,
while we meet our people where we are,
give them what they need,
compramise our timetables, not our expectations,
look for small victories, count our blessings,
we must do what we can and strive for what we want and need.

Welcome to our Blog

I thought it would be cool if we kept in touch through this blog here, maybe we can set up a discussion board too, later, but this will do, I was thinking we could post up cool things we do in our classes or school, post up questions to get some advice from each other, and just keep in touch, we all should have access to this blog, so start posting!
