But if a student has no interest in learning, doesn't want to do any work, pays no attention in class, and is resentful of having to, you know, think? Well, I'm not going to worry too much as I watch that student crashing and burning in my class. If I did, I'd have no energy left for the students who really want and appreciate what I have to offer." A-men. I teach (French horn) and you have summed up my experience too. P.S.

He also wishes I'd wear my glasses more so I think he's got a bit of that sexy teacher desire going on. For him, I know it's the smart woman thing, so it's okay.<br /><br />Ah Nortons. If you get the chance, do get your hands on more recent editions, which are easy to find second hand. They include far more women writers, as well as "commonwealth" writers, queer writers, etc. This is not only recent writers either. They've gone back in time and realized all the writers prejudice caused them to leave out... Okay, actually, they were dragged kicking and screaming into recognizing that. If you feel like it, learn a bit about the canonicity debates. It's an interesting tale and it's not done yet.<br /><br />Oh, and check out this post: http://www.sublimemercies.com/2013/01/well-of-allusion-charlotte-likes-chloe.html?utm_source=BP_recentCharlotte Issyvoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081140798331499819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-8452517176774641722013-07-17T09:49:37.742-07:002013-07-17T09:49:37.742-07:00Your post prompted me to run off and and find my a...Your post prompted me to run off and and find my ancient, single volume Norton. Tissue thin paper, ugly gray cloth binding and puppy-chewed cover corner. The puppy is long gone ... it's from the late 60s. Also found my Jantzen History of Art. Had to buy that one twice ... left one on the seat of my car, and it was stolen. More than a lesson in art history there. Glad I went to look.<br />Interesting associations for a pleated skirt. That's what I love about ideas of personal style. All the narratives. I wonder if the narrative would be the same for Beau if the skirt hit above the knee.<br />You've achieved Sexy Librarian-Teacher! <br />I know what you mean about Irish traditional dress, with the brooch amid the ruffles ... a Victorian style adapted, maybe? I know women wore clasps and broaches on big shawls and scarves, often on the shoulder.<br />Navy is very pretty against your fairness, and you look quite Romantic, leaning against the garden fence!<br />Thanks for another great post, and keep enjoying your summer.

As a bisexual woman, I get it: breasts are beautiful. But this student never looked at my face, never listened, never took notes, and just looked at my chest -- all the time. I felt sexualized and that my authority as a teacher, and a human being, was undermined.Charlotte Issyvoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081140798331499819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-84662734547229909532013-07-15T11:22:44.213-07:002013-07-15T11:22:44.213-07:00I am absolutely adept at wielding the power of the...I am absolutely adept at wielding the power of the cleavage. It doesn't make me uncomfortable when guys stare at my chest. It's better than staring at my wheelchair :-P<br />I think we're of the same mind this week with a "cleavage brooch" on our garments. I'm collecting a few brooches to try to incorporate into my wardrobe.<br /><br />AliciaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101393203842051609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-20121069254389692662013-07-15T10:44:11.765-07:002013-07-15T10:44:11.765-07:00That's really interesting to hear about your a...That's really interesting to hear about your approach to psychotherapy. I'd not thought about such a maxim in that context. <br /><br />Yeah, I do like to change my look a lot.

I use a similar maxim for psychotherapy with my patients: If I am more involved in your recovery than you are, we have to change something.<br /><br />You look marvelous and retro in your pleated skirt and brooch. It's fun to change looks day by day, yeah? Thanks for linking up to Vis Monday.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079432708951192200noreply@blogger.com
