The Te of Piglet: Fifth Post (Eeyore)
I’m not sure that I agree with Hoff on everything he said about Eeyoreness in this chapter. I don’t like Eeyore very much, and for most of the same reasons Hoff doesn’t, but I think that he makes some weird leaps of logic here. The news part of the discussion worked really well and made sense, that part I liked, but after that he started making strange analogies. The stuff about education really seemed overreactionary to me. I see where he’s coming from, I’m just not sure he actually knows what he’s talking about. The whole thing just didn’t make sense if you know anything about how education actually works (and the history of it). He just seemed to have media knowledge of how education works, which is usually far from accurate. I also found the feminism discussion to be strange. I mean, I agree with some of what he said but can’t see how it connects to Eeyore at all! It was just strange. And I want to be hearing about Piglet anyway!
