These deviations, Emdin explains, include so-called \"disruptive behavior\" and a celebration of hip-hop music and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmdin argues that being \"ratchetdemic,\" or both ratchet and academic (like having rap battles about science, for example), can empower students to embrace themselves, their backgrounds, and their education as parts of a whole, not disparate identities. This means celebrating protest, disrupting the status quo, and reclaiming the genius of youth in the classroom.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51326344954079,"sku":"9780807007143","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/7IKC4cbPUH9780807007143.webp?v=1788458618"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/christopher-emdin.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
