Take Me Out of the Classroom:

Luke rodesiler in bridginge sports culture for the English classroom, reflecting on his lack of connection as a high school student between his lscs Interests & his school experience

"[remembering] my own experiences growing up. I recalled how my immersion in sports culture fueled my reading habits and innumerable discussions I took up with friends and family, the ways I was drawn in by a wide range of sports-related texts, and how the knowledge of sports culture that I brought with me to school went largely untapped."

16-year-old clarisse mcclellan in Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 as quoted by multiple high school freshmen during sidewalk 451 "Field TRip" in spring '23, over a year removed from covid pandemic

"No one has time anymore for anyone."
