One of the things I wrote down in my notes from the class before last was that it is important to make sure we don't mis-communicate messages in public schools. Going back to last night's class again, I thought about Nathan's mis-pronunciation of "Tata Jesus is bangala!", making it seem as though he was saying Jesus was somehow equivalent to the "dreaded" Poisonwood tree.

It is so easy to try and focus on your message and think that it is understood in the same way by others, when it may not be. If you want to insure your message is being understood in education, I guess it takes more than just putting it out there and assuming it will be digested. Maybe as educators, we have to take care in making sure we aren't force-feeding students a message that maybe they don't understand or comprehend. They need time to digest what we feed them. If our perspective or background is different from theirs, or if we view ourselves as knowing all the answers, we might be missing the point, like Nathan did. It seems that the point is that it's important to let students share their views and perspective, in order to avoid mis-communication in education.
