This morning's conversation which connected the unconscious with the conscious loop to the interpersonal loop to the culture/society loop got we to thinking about diversity and individuality.  Are they one in the same?   Can they be used effectively in a classroom?  Many students try to incorporate their beliefs and learning styles into the classroom along with the beliefs and learning styles of the other 30 students and the teacher's.  In an effort to make sense of the their world and what they are trying to learn from it, some students are trying to navigate these loops.  While others are just there for the ride.  This case study is an effective way to see how our society tries to get us all on one page.  Paul stimulated something in my unconscious that expressed itself in my conscious that caused me to pause and say what if....?  The what if's are the doorways to the mind and to creating unique situations not only for me but for my students.  What if.... I change today's lesson into allowing  the students to continue to generate questions about just understanding a process, instead of trying to find the right answer for a standardized test.   This is something that I will like to explore further.
