[quote=Anonymous]"The old paradigm might have been to teach children to "count their blessings," even recognizing that some kids have more advantages than others, and then encourage students to reach their full potential. The new paradigm is to stigmatize "privileges" (the "unearned" is silent), to imply that whatever those with more "privileges" accomplish in school or in life is also unearned, and reward those with fewer "privileges."" I'm ok with the old paradigm and language. I do not like labeling these things "privileges" and presenting it as the bingo card did. Moreover, what's the context this is being taught in? If it relates to learning about the introduction of affirmative action or perhaps the oversight of voting laws in the South or whatever else then ok (using old framing). But if it's being taught just to lecture to the kids then frankly i don't think that's something the schools should be carving out time to do. [/quote]
