Teaching has always been, for me, linked to issues of social justice. I've never considered it a neutral or passive profession.
What we need is a gigantic, messy community conversation about what is teaching and learning for the 21st century. We need to engage communities.
Part of the fun of writing, touring, teaching, is engaging with real people about all of it: what to do now, how to build a movement, of approaches to teaching, of parenting - it's exciting to be in that dialogue.
The idea that teaching is somehow the delivery of the goods is such a misunderstanding of what actually goes on.
