Thinking more about what you said, I could have changed the word to shaped or transformed. As for the "standardized pedestal of curriculum expectations," I could have reworded this into something much more simpler. I was trying to describe how students today are based on a common standard based by a curriculum. In particular, I was thinking about standardized tests, like the ACT, and how students are required to take the test according to curriculum, although all students are different. I will make sure to use less metaphors in my future posts.

Why did you use the word <i>sculpted</i>? I don't think it fits here.<br /><br />"...a standardized pedestal of curriculum expectations"? Standardized pedestal? Why did you select these words to use? A "pedestal of curriculum expectations"? Usually plain English works better that an attempt to be "cool" or "hip" or "fancy" or whatever you were trying to do with your wording. And now we have a "uniformed pedestal". What kind of uniform is the pedestal wearing? <br /><br />"...relates the persistence and courage of a small mosquito to us... educators, making a difference. The mosquito is small, but makes a difference." What a metaphor! I would you would want a teacher to be a positive figure. I have never thought of mosquitos in that way. I try to kill them before they bite me!<br /><br />Thoughtful. Interesting. Don't try to be fancy with your writing. Plain English works very well!<br /><br /><br />John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.com
