Official for whom?

One of my favorite things that Dr. Dyson has written is "The Pine Cone Wars."  When I read it was the first time I learned to think about what happens in the classroom within and across "official" and "unofficial" frames.

It's mind-boggling at the moment to try to sort out what's official and what's unofficial in a prison classroom that critically approaches the GED as a bullshit gatekeeper to parole through instruction by a team of incarcerated and free teachers.

I swear, as soon as we get our shit together, I want to write about what we're doing.
