Hey, good ideas!

And yeah, (a) not everyone I'm teaching is a privileged white male (I mean, they are all privileged to some extent because they are going to my school, but they are not all rich and they are not all white, though I plead guilty on the male thing ;), and (b) some of them really do have horrible test anxiety and they shouldn't have to feel that way or be held back from their potential.

There was an interesting moment when we were commenting on white male privilege -- the health class has a panel of us female faculty in to talk about Woman Stuff and answer their questions on stuff like that, and somehow the good ol' boys' network came up, and people were talking about it without ever saying the obvious thing (which eventually I just had to point out) -- "we are talking about YOU here".

Good questions.
