Spreading K Stuff

The affirmatives practice of spreading creates an exclusionary form of debate for

people with disabilities, one of which is dysgraphia. People with dysgraphia have a
hard time writing out things already, the affirmatives fast pace makes it impossible
for them to flow.

Dysgraphia is a condition that causes trouble with written expression. The term comes from the Greek
words dys (impaired) and graphia (making letter forms by hand). Dysgraphia is a brain-based issue. Its not the result of
a child being lazy. For many children with dysgraphia, just holding a pencil and organizing letters on a
line is difficult. Their handwriting tends to be messy. Many struggle with spelling and putting thoughts
on paper.[1] These and other writing taskslike putting ideas into language that is organized, stored and
then retrieved from memorymay all add to struggles with written expression. Different professionals may use
different terms to describe your childs struggle with written expression. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5)
doesnt use the term dysgraphia but uses the phrase an impairment in written expression under the category of specific learning disorder.
This is the term used by most doctors and psychologists.

And, spreading also creates a barrier to people who have dyspraxia, they have issues
with fine motor skills, meaning not only do they have trouble flowing, they have
issues with the motor control required to spread.

Dyspraxia isnt a sign of muscle weakness or of low intelligence. Its a brain-based condition that makes it hard to plan
and coordinate physical movement. Children with dyspraxia tend to struggle with balance and posture. They may
appear clumsy or out of sync with their environment. [1]Dyspraxia goes by many names: developmental coordination
disorder, motor learning difficulty, motor planning difficulty and apraxia of speech. It can affect the development of gross
motor skills like walking or jumping. It can also affect fine motor skills. These include things like the hand
movements needed to write clearly and the mouth and tongue movements needed to pronounce words
correctly.
Spreading forms a bankrupt form of pedagogy, because(1) It reinforces typical
asymmetrical power relations ( I cant keep up with you, Im not as good as you) and
(2) It harms common education (people with certain disabilities, cannot hear or flow
it)

Feminist research generally, and this book specifically, draws a distinction between communicating to an
audience (where the researcher as the authorial voice gathers correct information and informs the audience of that information) and
communicating with an audience where knowledge is discovered in conversation with diverse others.
Floya Anthias (2002, 282) has characterized the moment of communicating with as a dialogical moment,
where effective dialogue requires an already formulated mutual respect, a common communication
language, and a common starting point in terms of power. It also assumes good will of all the partners in the dialogue
(Anthias 2002, 282). Mutual respect, common language, good will, and common starting points in terms of
power can, of course, never be perfectly achieved. And even finding this rare and excellent combination of qualities between
researchers (or practitioners in the policy world) does not guarantee success. Instead, conversations are difficult, and it is hard to avoid coming
into the dialogue convinced that ones own argument is correct and those of others are flawed.
Feminist conversations, then, are
ideal-types, to
be aspired to if never perfectly achieved. Recognizing these limitations, dialogue and diversity are
seen as strengths in feminist theorizing (Ackerly, Stern, and True 2006, 5). Engaging in dialogues that aspire to approximate
the communicative ideal-type described above is not only an exercise in theoretical methodology, it is itself theorizing. Marysia Zalewski (1996)
tells us that theory can be understood as explanation, critique, or practice; feminist conversations are an exercise in
theorizing feminist politics through practice.

The form of education produced by the affirmative is not only exclusionary, it reinforces
social hierarchies of power- independent voting issue.

The organization of this book as conversations, interlinked and layered at different levels, is not just
stylistic but substantive. Lucinda Peach (1994, 153) once noted that the emphasis on collaboration in
feminist theorizing means that feminist articles, books, and other research products might look
different from other scholarship, given the tendency of feminists and feminisms to work in dialogue and
conversation. This tendency is not incidental; it is fundamental - feminisms concerns for the
relationship between positionality and knowledge and for understanding relationships of domination
and subordination in politics suggest that dialogue is one of the most appropriate ways to approach
theorizing, analyzing, and practicing global politics
