Excellent nos. today, CB. The late great Alan Petigny was working on a book on the therapeutic turn in American churches. I gave him what I thought would be an apt title: FROM ALTER CALL TO BOOTY CALL.
My favorite part of the educationnext.org article about the music teacher is that while she's preening about why she doesn't teach music in her music classes, she's also proving that it's a good thing she's not an English teacher.
Wrong: "They believe educators may be the key to teaching tolerance and to make sure everyone is represented." Correct: "They believe that educators may be the key to teaching tolerance and making sure that everyone is represented."
Wrong: "It may literally save a life for a student to see themselves in a book." Correct: "It may literally save a life if [or when] students see themselves in a book." Which still doesn't make any sense, but at least "a" student isn't seeing "themselves."
