« Five Things You May Not Know about Me | Main | Simple Libraries » "You" Are Not StudentsChris Harris makes the excellent point that Time Magazine's selection of "you" (us, we, me, them) as their "Person of the Year" excludes our nation's teachers and students. "When it comes to 'me' as a professional, the place where I spend the majority of my waking hours is rather not 'we.' Or, perhaps it is a bit too 'we' - but the 'we' that schools have created to mean 'us in the corner twiddling our thumbs and pretending that the Internet doesn’t exist.' See, for me, Facebook is forbidden. Second Life is shut down. Amazon reviews are avoided. Podcasts are against policy. Blogs are…well…banned just might not be strong enough of a word. The word that springs to mind is demonized. So how, then, could Time possibly have meant 'me' when they named 'you' as the person of the year?"
