IDIOM NO.59
The right to read
The texts we choose to explore with students in English can inform and empower, and develop critical, creative, and literate citizens. How we make those choices, investigate our biases, take risks, include student choice, decolonise our bookshelves, rehumanise, is critical in ensuring our students are looking through windows not simply at mirrors. This Idiom is a call to action, to speak back to those who want to limit the choices of students and teachers, and a celebration of our classroom experiences.
