OMG Tom! I wish all teachers could teach like this. I have asked our school system but unfortunately, here in Australia, the teachers are stuck with set topics (that was what I was told anyways)
Please update us. Is your book out? Did this teaching catch on?
Hey Tom. I kept waiting to hear what you actually did in your classroom. As a High School teacher of 20 years (American Literature/1960's Culture), I wonder if you can you show us how you taught all these "Strands?" Other than read kids a quote and write it on the board? What did they do to present information that was "downloaded into their brains?" You say kids "got it." Got what? Demonstrate the results of what you say you teach. Claims mean nothing. Did you evaluate writing/thinking? How?
Hey Brother Tom :D Your videos & message KICK SO MUCH ASS! I wish i had of been lucky enough 2 have a teacher even half as good as you...i'm just imaging the vibe in your classrooms must of been MAGICAL!!!!
You are a bright pristine DIAMOND among many many dull & rough pebbles my friend....really really hope your book hits the main stream.

Sounds like you had a wonderful experience teaching. Good luck getting your book "Uncle Tom's Classroom" read by teachers!
