In particular, thinking about when I use generalizations, and who is on, my pass, list were interesting to me. I think of the education examples that they gave such as using the term sped for a wide range of very different students or ELL for a group of students who are so varied in their experience and grasp of language and you name it, that it stuck out to me that I probably think or use generalizations in speech way more often than I should
As far as who is on my “pass list”. Because of my background and life experience, I find that I give a huge pass to athletes that I route for Tiger Woods is a train wreck in his personal life yet I excuse that constantly because I want to watch him golf. if he were my neighbor, I would have nothing to do with him in any way, shape or form so thinking about passing people along and excusing behavior is interesting and something I have not done before as a reflective practice. I need to think about that more in my professional career to ensure that I am not. doing these types of things unknowingly.
