Which Aesop Rock album do you most reccomend?
Q. I got a few of his mp3s from limewire and daytrotter and I want to buy an album. I love No Regrets, Citronella, and 1000 Deaths, just saying.

A. i love float cuz of the blues influence it seems to have. labor days is probably his best album with the most searing messages. bazooka tooth has a science fiction feel to it, like it would be a soundtrack to a 1950's B movie. none shall pass was a lot more storytelling and it made me see Aesop as one of those hobo's with a bunch of crazy stories. But I'd recommend Float and Labor Days the most

Do substitutes see the rating given by the teacher in AESOP?
Q. I am a teacher and I was asked by our new substitute program AESOP to rate a substitute. Do the substitutes have access to this rating, or does the district use it to simply get feedback? I'd prefer if substitutes who have actual experience with AESOP's program answer the question.
Asked by yavanna - Fri Dec 10 12:23:56 2010 - Teaching - 1 Answers - Comments
A. They have a right to see it. Unless the substitute is very good or very bad, I'd be careful. It would be easy for a substitute to figure out who sent in the rating and then make a fuss if they disagreed. Before you start rating, try to find out what AESOP does with the information. Keeping secret files on people is a violation of constitutional rights.

Aesop's "Belly and the Other Members" is valuable for self-governance - any benefit for US politics?
Q. The body-state metaphor in Aesop's Fable "Belly and the Other Members" is quite different from the Elephant and Donkey used in US politics (both created by Thomas Nast, look it up). The animal-like view of human beings could be cute for some, but if the US is to be a better example of self-governance , then what is the value in looking at "Belly and the Other Members" at this time?

A. The Aesop fable shows how short-sighted, how selfish each member of the body was when it came to the benefit -- even the survival -- of the whole body. They were thinking of their own benefit not the benefit of others, nor the sobering reality that individuals can't get by without cooperation of the members collectively. Any government, not only the US government, is responsible to consider the situation of all sectors.

A. Aesop's Fables or Aesopica refers to a collection of fables credited to Aesop (620a 560 BC), a slave and story-teller who lived in Ancient Greece. Aesop's Fables have become a blanket term for collections of brief fables, especially beast fables involving anthropomorphic animals. His fables are some of the most well known in the world. The fables remain a popular choice for moral education of children today. Many stories included in Aesop's Fables, such as The Fox and the Grapes (from which the idiom "sour grapes" was derived), The Tortoise and the Hare, The North Wind and the Sun and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, are well-known throughout the world.
