  • Are you the person your teachers think you are?  
  • Can you be your real self as you pursue knowledge and find your place in the world?  
  • What elements of you do you have to check at the gate when you get to school? 
  • Do you have interests, talents or experiences that could add meaning to the class and enrich the learning experience for you and others?
  • What elements of you do you think is valued by school and the "powers-that-be"?  
  • What do you feel compelled to keep private?  
  • Is it possible for you to take ownership of your learning process and demonstrate what you know, or is your role in learning a function of authority and power relationships?
