Thanks for the comment. Yes I would have to agree with you. I think Curlformers are a brilliant invention, not to mention fun and easy to use once you get your technique down. I bought mine from Sally’s Beauty Supply.

I love Curl Formers. They are amazing, especially for the hair challenged. I am no good with flexirods, end papers or anything else like that, but Curl Formers are very easy to use. However, I did purchase the “As Seen on TV” Curl Formers because they are cheaper. lol

My class and I are also writing about this issue. We have done a study about that website for a month, interpreting different perspectives, the need for a diverse focus group and representation of true Canadian children from “coast to coast!” If you look on Facebook for our work (Grade 5) to create dolls that are not only ethnically diverse to be representative of different Canadian children, but representative of both genders also: Canadian CulturALL Dolls. Students conducted research about the demand for different skin tone and gendered dolls. They also commented on realistic facial features and body types and hair types. They also commented on the price point being exclusive too. Their focus for the project was Canadian identity, inclusion and student voice. Quite fascinating and powerful as students have a voice, are taking action and are partaking in critical thinking. I look fwd to hearing from you on our Facebook page. Cheers. Sheri, Toronto, ON

Hi there,

I am volunteering in an extremely inclusive and ethnically diverse grade 5 classroom in Toronto, and students have been invited to deconstruct the MapleLea Dolls, and consider how their representation of “real” Canadian girls is limiting. We have taken action by creating our own dolls that are a more accurate representation of the “real” canadian students in the classroom community. We want to write to MapleLea as well, and I am wondering if you could provide us with a sample of the letter that your friend submitted, so that I can use it to model an authentic persuasive writing action. This would help students write their own individual responses. We would really appreciate your help! You can reach me at cookmaranda@gmail.com or just post it on our facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/groups/328514387180776/

Thank you!

Thank you SO much for posting this video. Gosh, not only does it feature many of the the Afro Latinos already on my blog . . . (I do a monthly feature on “famous” Afro Latinos.) . . . . it also speaks volumes about my life and upbringing. I am not one or the other. I am both and I have always hated having to choose. This video offers clarity around that struggle and makes clear that it is okay to be proud and claim both sides of a cultural and racial heritage that often confuses other people.

I had to also put this up on my blog because it was just perfect. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
