speculative at·gument that cannot be won. The thinking involved in this sort of
work is quite d ifferent from the kind of thinking that might go into concluding that
one can make the correct choice between didtotomous altcn1atives. My arguments

with myself served to articulate the undesirable consequences of each of my aJter-

"The conflicted teacher is her own antagonist; she cannot win by choosing" (pg. 182)

Sometimes there is no right answer to a situation so we are forced to think outside the two options we have in front of us. The dilemma is part of the whole person. You can’t choose to look at it through practical and pedagogical lenses. The conflicting options together make up the teacher’s whole sense of mind.  ]]> 2022-06-15 21:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/aqj17u9ait5gqez5/wish/2222354621 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/aqj17u9ait5gqez5/wish/2222356443 "All these possible "solutions" lead
to problems. I felt I could not choose a solution without compromising other goals

sex. Girls rarely choose to be anywhere near a boy, and the boys actively reject
the girls whenever possible."

This situation will always make it difficult to focus on learning at all times. Some children will let this small issue or other issues like this one disrupt the whole entire class.]]> 2022-06-15 21:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/aqj17u9ait5gqez5/wish/2222357203 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/aqj17u9ait5gqez5/wish/2222358070 " The boys could see and hear more easily than girls, and I noticed their questions more readily.
