Assignment Raymi – The reactions



Hiya Raymi!

Some students are willing to allow you to see their responses some are

not. All expressed some concern for how it would be used. I also

have some issues — I am somehow responsible for both the assignment

and what happens to it. They did do some wonderful things and enjoyed

the fact that Raymi began to look at them as they looked at her (the

posting of the assignment). One student has responses about you from

their mother, Grandfather, older graduate friend and a contemporary

student friend, in addition to their own response. One entitled his

assignment “raymithemystery.com” There are people from many

different countries who looked at your site. Others want to do it now

because you are aware of our gaze. BUT — In the end, they only

checked you out because I asked them to — and I would not want them

damaged in any way because of my actions. Does this make sense Raymi?

I am only a TA but I feel I inherited 42 young adults (most in their

first year of Uni) in September. There is responsibility in

education, I am responsible for so many things. I showed them the

“chickens” clip from the movie “Baraka” last night and couldn’t sleep

because I was afraid that it might have been too disturbing — even

though this is what I do! I send them to a cold, dark place and ask

them to give me a weather report. But I still feel like I am stealing

innocence sometimes. And I am still waiting for mine to grow back.

Please write me back…let me know what you think.

i am just as concerned as you ie people’s reactions and opinions and

meanness, judging – i put myself out there and i do not lie and i am

caring and opinionated and if someone is going to say a bunch of

negative shit about me/my life/my family i will react to them reacting

to me – the way i see it, if u are going to attack someone, u have

every right to, however, u have to tell me about your life’s pain/s

failures fuck ups and then i get the chance to attack you then, no?
