I was always amazed when people thought they were being complimentary when they said "You are in a sorority? Wow - I never would have guessed!", or worse "You're smart for a sorority girl". HUH?

Instead of being insulted I revel in the person making the statement coming to terms with their own stereotyping issues.

Oh, I did - I'd ask them "What exactly do you think a sorority girl is like?"

I like the way you handled that.
They probably learned more too.

Well let's be honest, there are members of the Greek system who behave in ways that taint all of us. I'm not saying that these people are 100% wrong, because there are obviously students who behave in a way we're not thrilled about, but they aren't 100% right either.
I wonder who will have their stereotypes challenged when I wear my badge to class and work tomorrow?

well, back awhile ago it wasn't nearly as difficult. now ya'll have to deal with PRAXIS or comparable exams, student teaching, and final portfolios that you can't re-do. my fiance is secondary math ed and a lot of his friends are elementary, so i'm saying all this from the outside. let me know if i've got misinformation

Thank you. No, it's not. Okay, maybe it isn't Rocket Science or Nuclear Physics, but it's not a 'cakewalk', either. You have to have a minimum 3.0 to student teach (some schools higher). And, how many people could go and face 22 6-year-olds or 6 classes of 30-35 7th Graders?

That's more of what I was thinking. I was a poli sci major (one of the more intense majors at my school because of the department's prestige) but in the Honors College at my University there were always STRESSED out education majors...and their coursework was so varying...which led to more stress over having to know a little of everything...
