[aisle] Teacher Request

Wed Nov 3 14:12:55 CDT 2021

I agree with the don't question crowd. However, if you think some teachers
are really choosing books because they don't know any better, maybe offer
PD on new and notables or host a lunch and learn or start a staff book
club. Do it proactively and positively rather than questioning the teacher
in this instance.
