I'm hoping that all of these posts and the kinds of petitions going on will support you and all of us in the classroom. Stay strong!!

I had a student complain about me to the head of my department at the onset of the quarter because supposedly I used "too much Spanish" on the first day of class. Actually, the student claimed I was teaching the class in Spanish, which was ridiculous, since our syllabus and all our assigned readings were in English. On the day the complaint was filed I was going over some dichos and I did, of course, translate the dichos into English for all students to understand, but I guess having to sit in a classroom and listen to some Spanish for a bit was too much for this student. Y para acabarla de fregar this was a MEXICAN LITERATURE CLASS!Olganoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-34648510542466727392013-12-10T11:45:10.298-07:002013-12-10T11:45:10.298-07:00I am going to assign my pre-fresh comp. students t...I am going to assign my pre-fresh comp. students to read this next semester.

This kind of thinking is so necessary in today's world, but I, too, fear it will be the first on the budget chopping block.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.com
