From the Mouth of Babes...

What are the youth up to'?!

Have you listened to them in a while?



Spend some time....spend some time...spend some time talkin' with some YoungPeople. I say this MOSTLY because "Popular Opinion" will have you believin' the youth don't have much cognitive complexity. There is a large opinion that suggests the youth don't understand power dynamics, sexuality, morality, and mor(t)ality...and the people who believe this, may be right. I don't know. I don't usually come into contact with children as young as the ones seen in this clip. But, I DO know when I was their age---I was not as versed as they seem to be on the "evil sides" of the game.

I generally meet YoungPeople when they decide to enter a college or university. At this point, as a instructor/professor, you are dealing with an older, more mature person who USUALLY has a idea of what they want to do with themselves. As a result, my purpose and methodolgy is different than it would be for those teaching at the high school level. I understand that. But, if there is any doubt that a muliti-generational pedagogical strategy is necessary, I believe this video has throughly challenged those doubts. After the performance I just viewed, I'm not sure I'll ever see this kid in a college or university. I sure hope so, though.

I sure hope so.
