Pedagogical Criticality

This is just a place for me to rant & riff about things that mean little to anyone, but me. I don't have to use proper grammar & neither do you. Who speaks the "queen's English" in the US anyway? Say what you feel. Don't use the "N" word or any other racial slurs in the absence of critical thought. Keep the cussing to a minimum, and above all, "Trouble the Waters." Don't be afraid to make waves. Speak up! In the words of the immortal James Brown, "Don't start none, won't be none!" Start some!

Pedagogical Criticality
North East, United States
I am almost "Dr." Frederick A Hanna - "Pedagogical Criticality" is my euphemism for critical pedagogy, which is what I strive to practice as I study, think, and write about race, religion, poverty, and difference in my world. This is the job of a critical pedagogue. Critical pedagogue Ira Shor defines critical pedagogy as "Habits of thought, reading, writing, and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impressions, dominant myths, official pronouncements, traditional clichés, received wisdom, and mere opinions, to understand the deep meaning, root causes, social context, ideology, and personal consequences of any action, event, object, process, organization, experience, text, subject matter, policy, mass media, or discourse."
