We teach it every year. Kids love it. Very powerful.

Yes. Be very cautious about it. Have the support of admin before you attempt teaching it. Especially if you live in a conservative area. Send parent letters home. You can’t CYA too much with this book. I love it and wish that everybody could appreciate it for the valuable piece of literature that it is.

Yes, I've taught it twice. The students love it. I've taught it to 10th grade and above.

I teach it at the AP level and it is always a favorite.

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
