Teachers talk a lot about privilege these days. It comes up in professional development all the time. In a recent session, one of the discussion leaders said "It's rare that anyone has privilege in all the sectors - it's a complex and mixed bag for most folks."
Afterwards, I thought, well, hmmm, I might just have a home run in luck on that there wheel:
('slim' and 'rich' may be stretches, but it all depends on your metric, right?)
In class the other day, I left my home screen projected on the board and just after my students noticed a document titled "The Chemistry of Bourbon", they saw this graphic. So, I proceeded to tell them the story of how lucky I am to have privilege in all sectors. After a few chuckles on the 'slim' category, some rapscallion (OL?) calls out "Good thing they don't have a sector called 'Has Hair' on there!"
