When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I admit, when I first picked up @gtavernetti.bsky.social's book I skimmed it & put it down. Then saw some comments on it's usefulness that sent me back -SO GLAD! Why? It's the WHOLE lesson not one or a collection of techniques which moved my thinking forward - BRILLIANT. Pdf: tinyurl.com/mtewdvse

I've found that new teachers generally find scripted curriculum more helpful while vets feel like they've been robbed of autonomy. Also, if admin starts using it as a gotcha it builds resentment & creates a culture problem.
