Chapter 15: The Two Way Mirror— Hidden Power and Veiled Dominance: A Call for Action

I watch the scene unfold before my eyes, much like a cat secretly perched in a tree. I am taking in all that is happening below me and around me, yet I remain unnoticed by the actors on this stage. It is as though I am playing the part of an unknown omniscient witness, seeing what is occurring and understanding the intentions behind the events. It is from this unusual vantage point that I find myself peering into a large classroom filled with active and enthusiastic young adolescent students. All are engaged in the instructional activities and conversations of the day with their young teacher, front and center, recording subjects for their discussion/debate on the board.
