Here is another thing Tina said in our conversation last weekend:
…now the introverts in the class feel very safe doing stories with the Invisibles because I don’t “make them participate” anymore. What I am seeing in my classes is introverts running the class and defying in their own quiet way the power of the extroverts….who used to run all over everyone with their loud suggestions. That is not really engagement. It is a shouting match involving 40% of the class. And it just distracts us from maintaining that calm happy focused environment where everyone – including me – can put their guard down enough to actually look one another in the eye, after all these years of hiding ourselves in school….
