Take 2

Lunch is now over, but I'll try reposting, this time without markup errors:


You know, it's almost as if there haven't been over twenty years of research into the notion that kids learn things differently, in different ways, at different rates, and have different innate abilities, with which they approach learning. Or that educators can alter their teaching strategies to accommodate a number of different needs in the same classroom.

It's almost as if girls haven't thrived despite the relative paucity of girl-focussed books in elementary and middle school curricula (a paucity that is slowly being redressed).

It's almost as if publishers and teachers and librarians haven't been working for years to expand the availability of reading material that will appeal to different students.

It's almost as if it's totally okay to have students reading violent, misogynist material, as long as those student are boys.

What is this? 1940?
