An Educators Role in a Pop Culture World


published March 9th, 2011 in Ed Week

While I read this article I found myself rather concerned by this author’s claims that teacher’s should work against pop culture and current fashion trends in student’s lives. Personally, I feel we should encourage students to be creative and to take calculated risks. While I agree that I would rather not see students walking around with pants that sag down, I think that as long as their body is covered then we should allow student’s that freedom. I would rather be an educator that can guide students to make wise decisions by asking thought provoking questions than an educator that simply tells students what to do and how to dress.
