27

The 27 Brain Organ of the Methodology deals with the firmness of purpose; constancy; perseverance; obstinacy. This is a multi faceted brain organ but of the which the first I will deal with is th the firmness of purpose in regards to justice. Justice is the will to pursue the imbalance of man with the willingness of evil. Like say when a teacher is arrogant in the classroom because of the inequities of his own development. This is forgivable as we all perceive inequities of the social hierachy within our pubescant development. Even the "queen bee" probably does not perceive herself as such and that things are due her that she does not seem to see above all things that she possesses, but when this carries forward and repeats itself in the classroom and adds the educational institution as an instrument to continue this imbalance.

For example, the school is an instrument of stress already. How do we eliminate stress? How do we curb the suicide rate that is increasing exponentially from two years ago and then a tragic car accident this year? The student enters the history classroom. She is already intimidated by the fact that her first language is not English. She finally musters the courage to speak to the professor who is disparaging Cuba based on their communist manifesto (and rightly so by the Americo-centric view of the world history taught to 11th graders) that she likes Cuban people. She is told in a small voice that she is historically incorrect.

She bursts into tears. How could she do this when she was just told in a small voice that she is historically inaccurate. A SMALL FUCKING VOICE! DON"T CRY! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? HAVEN'T YOU HAD ANYONE CRY IN YOUR CLASSROOM?

Apparently this is normal, no stress levels raised.

...but she is not doing her work. The professor must call home, but why? Does he call all of those who do not do their work. (Not according to the student, the Brazilian student who never does any of her work is apparently a lost cause... giving up, this professor must not have the larger 27th brain organ, no persistance) Oh well, it is a physical deformity...

"Thanks very much for calling home" or "I know, I was there..." What happened? Did the student come into the classroom and blow up or did the arrogance of the teacher prompt him to say he called home, in front of her friends, he'll show her who is boss, he is in charge, she will flush, her friends will react, I will be elevated again to the man above all those who made fun of me in high school so many years ago. Oh yeah. I have the POWER! Wait, what you were there? You are responding? You are storming out? You didn't cow and shrink into your desk? I underestimated your chicana power...oh fuck, cover up and run.

Rewrite history, send the email, this is what happened, not the way she said it. Send it to everyone all the way in case her father calls. Not likely, he is an immigrant. He still respects you as an educator. Not like these arrogant American parents that know you are just another piece of shit like them.

She is just a student. She is disturbed. It is not my job to ask students about their personal problems. I am a colleague, trust what I say and that is it. But...

I don't trust you. I took it to your boss, she backed you, but so did mine. If this goes, up. I will win. Hopefully I have stopped this escalation for the student, not you. Your boss is paranoid. There is no culture of teachers back talking each other. There is a culture of increased student stress. If this ends then so be it, if it doesn't then we will battle. If I get one more whiff of your arrogance, this will continue. You changed due to force before, if you do not do so again. We will battle and I battle every day with bad ass mofos and I come back for more. Lets see how your stomach for battle is. It has nothing to do with courage, just perseverance, the ability to get up.

Thank you to my supportive boss who escalated and backed me up. Now I have two supportive bosses at once. I am truly blessed.

I will be obstinate in my pursuit of justice for this student.
