Introduction by T Newfields
This collection of poetry, art, dialogs, raves, and commentaries highlights
some classroom experiences and my feelings about education.
Each piece is a different vision of what can happen in the
name of education. Many of these works are concerned with foreign language instruction,
but more than a few with education in general.
Since half of my life has been teaching English in Asia,
I've been especially been interested in things that happen inside language classrooms.
The complex power relations between teachers, students, administrators, and textbook publishers are underscored in many of these works.
