I attended the University of South Carolina (CWS Champs looking for a repeat!!) and the dorm floor I lived on freshman year, split down betwenn those from SC/GA and those "darn Yanks" Growing up in the midwest, I had no clue about how serious some take the division, as well as how others would go along with it because others led.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934664990869077843.post-30618093670362793802011-06-17T17:07:39.221-05:002011-06-17T17:07:39.221-05:00Jason, Ryan isn't offended.

He's a middle school teacher and collaborator in my Leaning Toward Wisdom project. On Twitter he's @mrcteaches. He blogs at RyanCantrell.net.<br /><br />The Internet is very much like the offline world. I call it the "incestuousness of the clique." Too many people tend to base their own sense of self-worth on their acceptance or associations with other people.Randy Cantrellhttp://bulanetwork.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934664990869077843.post-33458884868760210102011-06-16T22:09:52.799-05:002011-06-16T22:09:52.799-05:00Randy,

I really did learn a lot from Ruby Payne's findings and try my best every year to implement ways to ignore social differences (in negative light) while also celebrating them positively. Teaching 6th grade social studies (in TX = world geo/cultures) gives me the perfect opportunity to do some action research of what perceptions, thoughts, and feelings are out there among my students. <br /><br />I'm not sure if there's any good answer but "comfort zones" we become accustomed to and tend to cling to in times of great uncertainty (i.e. middle and high school).
