So today we shared teaching stories, and one fellow, Ricky was complaining that the Fellows program is trying to mold us into their image. He thinks the fellows staff is against him, and he is fighting some sort of moral battle to do "what's right."
Usually I am all about rebellion, but it's a bit early to be F-ing the system. He's very arrogant to think that he is better than the research proven strategies that the fellows preaches. He thinks he's so above everything, so special, self important, it's irritating as hell. It reminds me of someone I could have become if I had not kept myself in check.
It's higher ed. Of course they are trying to indoctrinate you. Some of the advice is good, it's actually research proven. In two years when I have my masters and few years of experience, I'll have a better sense of what works and what doesn't. Until then I might want to keep my mind open to suggestions from my superiors who have been in this business longer than I've been ALIVE!
