		<description><![CDATA[After a long absence fueled primarily by a bad experience in the classroom (I have yet to develop a tough skin, although this past term provided me ample opportunity), I have returned to my electronic world. I apologize to the one person who reads this (hey, Jordan).

		<description><![CDATA[First the easy argument: I can assign each person a different grade without assuming an ontological individualism. Let us assume that the &#8220;shared good&#8221; of the classroom is the kingdom of God. In other words, as a whole (a class) we are building the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God has many different parts, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=educatingimagination.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3832542&amp;post=44&amp;subd=educatingimagination&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A student of mine wisely observed after class last night: You can lead a horse to water, but you can&#8217;t make her drink. The wisdom in the statement reflects the notion that each student must choose what to drink. As I have alluded to in an earlier post, I feel called to lead my horses [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=educatingimagination.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3832542&amp;post=41&amp;subd=educatingimagination&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Jordan, I&#8217;m glad you come visit sometimes and make comments. At least there is some dialogue going on. I thought that this would be a good venue for my students, but apparently the value seems lost on them. I&#8217;m okay with that, primarily because it doesn&#8217;t surprise me. It might be that they just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=educatingimagination.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3832542&amp;post=39&amp;subd=educatingimagination&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Suffice it to say it was a story of love, betrayal, and broken hearts &#8211; and it perfectly illustrated many of the current assumptions we have been studying recently (individualism, egoism, universalism, atomism, and reductionism, to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=educatingimagination.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3832542&amp;post=33&amp;subd=educatingimagination&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The issue of agency has come up before on this site in one of Brady&#8217;s comments, and I&#8217;ve said little to respond to it. This entry is just one small part of what it means to me to &#8220;have&#8221; agency, or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=educatingimagination.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3832542&amp;post=29&amp;subd=educatingimagination&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a depth to the subject of 311 that I fear my students aren&#8217;t approaching. The class is built on a dialectical framework. That is, I present one worldview to my students and then present a worldview that is ontologically opposed to the first worldview. The present worldview that psychology has adopted originated with the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=educatingimagination.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3832542&amp;post=30&amp;subd=educatingimagination&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
