"I walked into an inner-city classroom, filled with mostly African-American and Latino junior high school students. I was a substitute teacher, and I introduced myself. It was a social studies class, and the curriculum was scheduled to instruct a lesson on language development in cultures. I asked the class, 'Did you know that my great-great-grandfather was the fellow who invented the term Baker's Dozen (a market lingo used to describe the convenient packaging of 13 items in a baker's parcel maintaining the 12-count term of dozen)?'
The kids at first didn't believe me, but I explained that the point of my inquiry was to stir their curiosity about the economics of lingo with personal perspective."
How much attention we give to a school's ability to recruit interested and educated substitute teachers will affect our historical perspective on storytelling.
