Chapter 11 Reflection

I've commented on my liking for the bluntness of this book before, and I'll comment on it again. I like how this chapter covered very touchy subjects regarding sexual orientation in the workplace. Many times subjects that are in this chapter aren't covered, or they're overlooked to avoid conflicts. An example of this are gay teachers, and the problems faced by them everyday. (This is also shown in a case study of the chapter). I also appreciated learning about the history behind the unfair speculation about teachers who are single.

  1. I greatly appreciate the openness this book has displayed as well. Being honest and presenting the facts and issues that happen realistically in the world is the only true way that people can learn and come to understand our diverse nation. The topics and cases are very informative and great examples that allow us to engage ourselves and further question issues in regard to education and teaching. The cases especially allow readers to relate and reflect upon diverse situations and people and will hopefully open up an understanding to better our education system.
