This week’s book excerpt comes from the book Teacher: Creating Conversational Community. In this 
particular section of the book, the authors discuss premastication, a term you’ve probably never heard, but you know what it means once you hear it explained:
Premastication is not some ancient theological term waiting to be rediscovered. It is the practice in the animal kingdom – including some humans who have not discovered the baby food isle or don’t have one – to chew the food intended for their babies. The standard delivery system is to spit the partially digested food into the baby’s mouth. Yuck, you say? Well, that’s exactly how a lot of teachers feed their classes and groups. The experience of learning a lot of cool stuff by feeding on God’s Word is pretty yummy to them. It’s pretty yucky if you are on the recipient’s end. Especially a dump truck full. We hope you are so grossed out by this idea that you feed your class in such a way that they have to chew on the Bread of Life.

Dear Ken,
I would like to unsubscribe from your blog. I’ve tried twice without success. I don’t want to mark your posts as spam. How do I unsubscribe?
Allen
Allen, I’m sorry you want to unsubscribe. I’m open to any feedback you may have for me that caused your decision. As for unsubscribing, there’s a button for that at the bottom of the posts/emails. It looks like you already tried that…sometimes when I unsubscribe from emails it takes a little time to be removed. I will reach out to WordPress tech support and see if they can help us.
And thanks for being patient and not marking it as spam! Because I now post daily, you’ll probably get another one tomorrow, but I’ll see if WordPress can get you off the list quickly.
Allen, I’ve officially sent a request to WordPress to remove your email from the list of subscribers. Sorry to see you go. I’ll reply back one final time when I get word from their tech support
Allen, here is the reply from tech support at WordPress. I’m sorry for the extra step…they need you to tell them to unplug you from the blog. I explained you’d tried twice already. Message below:
Hi Ken! Could you please ask him to contact us here for further assistance? We cannot make any changes to his subscriptions without hearing from him directly.
