Having prepared a case of insects for a Toronto Public School teacher, for her class-room, I thought it might be a stimulus to others to do likewise, if the details were given some publicity.All of us wiht medium-sized or large collections have duplicates enough from which to select material for such a case without impoverishing our collections, and now that so many public schools have departments of manual training there should be no difficulty in getting the teachers in these departments to co-operate by supplying the necessary cases.

By situating this article within disability studies, decolonial studies and postcolonial studies, my purpose is to explore orientations towards independence within public school practices and show how this serves to reinforce hierarchies of exclusion. As feminist, queer and postcolonial scholar Ahmed (2006, p. 3) contends, “Orientations shape not only how we inhabit, but how we apprehend this world of shared inhabitance as well as ‘who’ or ‘what’ we direct our energy toward” (Ahmed, 2006, p. 3). I wonder how the policies and practices that I am oriented towards as a public school teacher limit the possibilities of encountering teaching and learning as a mode of reckoning and apprehending “this world of shared inhabitance?” I also wonder how remaining oriented towards independence as the goal of learning simultaneously sustains an adherence to colonial western logics under the current neoliberal ethos. Through Ahmed’s provocation I explore how the gaze of both teachers and students in public schools remains oriented towards independent learning in a manner that sustains conditions of exclusion, marginalization and oppression.

A 2020 lawsuit involves a public school teacher who refused to address transgender students by their preferred names because of his religious beliefs. This case is particularly significant because it is the first K–12 decision that analyzes this matter. This issue has important policy implications for schools and students.

In the treatment of this subject I shall confine myself to those schools only that require a grammar school diploma, or its equivalent, for admission, that have a four year’s course, and that are manual training or technical high schools as distinct from the “trade” school. I have confined my investigation, mainly, to public high schools, for with the institutions supported by the public the problem is more vital, and demands the attention of the public school teacher to a far greater extent than that of private institutions.

In this Voices Inside Schools essay, William Marinell describes the efforts of a public school teacher to improve her students' writing by attempting to increase their connectivity to their community. By designing photojournalism projects that prompt students to capture their authentic experiences, the teacher hopes to challenge the students'negative perceptions of their community, which she believes have a negative effect on her students' performance in school. Marinell elaborates on the personal and pedagogical dilemmas that the teacher faced while engaged in this work and how her instructional objectives and pedagogical approaches evolved as she gained an appreciation for the complex issues that arise when teachers and students attempt to depict their community.
