Oh, they're grounded to the important stuff.

Somebody has posted a wonderful lesson on the perils of anecdotal evidence: he sees two tribes with different BQ requirements, believes that the one with the higher BQ requirement is more culturally authentic, and therefore......BQ has to be the reason!

Whew. The high school sophomores I am currently teaching reason better than that.

We had student presentations yesterday, and one group of students played that scene between Mel Gibson and Graham Greene in Maverick and analyzed the stereotypes....

Gotta talk to them where they are though. I have them pretty well trained to interrupt when I say something that goes past them. Yesterday, a girl asked "Who were Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald?" I was making the point that sometimes you have to figure out ways to give a fair trial other than making sure nobody has heard of the case....so I answered her question and switched to OJ....
