Com es veu en aquest fil, el problema de fons del sistema educatiu i de l’escolarització és mundialment compartit, així que no us sentiu culpables. Això sí, el primer que trobi la solució que avisi la resta! 🙏

It's not just the price of the bean! I went to reorder V60 filters yesterday, and the same $10 pack I ordered 5 months ago is now $17.

Why are they driving an unmarked minivan?

This sounds great! Can you DM me?

I wrote a column with @katywithwine.bsky.social about censorship policies being a moral trap. Adhere to the policy, harm a kid. Give kids diverse books, lose your job, be threatened. Moral injury of teachers is so real. (It’s behind a paywall in English Journal, but I’ll send it to anyone!)

‘It feels like I am being forced to harm a child’: research shows how teachers are suffering moral injury

What we do with our time together in school *does* matter a great deal in shaping the way we view ourselves and each other in relation to society and our shared interactions with the world.

So how should we spend that time?
What are we *building* together in our time at school?

We've lost sight of schools as places where we induct young people into the club of our shared humanity.

Instead, in the wealthiest nation on earth, we foolishly replicate scarcity models and force young humans to compete for time and rank over knowledge that is virtually free to access!

Somewhere in the recent past, a coup overthrew the spirit of education with the stuff of schooling, and we've seen the system remade entirely in that image.

They have no use for democracy and no use for a democratic education system, so ceding the framing of the purpose of public education to the party in power seems to me just as much buying into the consumer logic of a privatized education system as supporting a universal voucher program.

Doesn't it seem so quaint now to think that there was an large organized movement to target teacher's unions with the argument that they had an undue influence on our political process? 😅

This thread, but this skeet highlights one of the fights in education between teachers.

Grading practices are pushed by teachers to get students to "get them ready" for the workforce.

But our job as teachers should be to teach them critical thinking skills, empathy, and reasoning.

We need to reframe the way we look at STEM.

Science is under attack by the government.

Science education should be focused on teaching students how to think like a scientist, how scientists go about discovering new ideas, and the history of science including the sins in made in the past.

Let companies and employers produce workers and let our schools produce citizens. There is no vision of a thriving public education without reclaiming the central mission of schooling as the place where we live diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Along with the rest of the educational community, we mourn the loss of David C. Berliner, AERA Past President and TC Press author. His most recent work, "Public Education for Our Nation's Democracy," was published September 26, the day he passed away.

Stuff like this makes it easy to skip legacy bands that only have one or two original members but keep touring and putting out albums when the spark just isn't there.

I moved back during Cryptopsy's set wondering if I was just in a bad spot. Nope. One of the most iconic death metal songs in the genre's history, can you even tell what it is?

Cryptopsy and Nile last night at Wooly's was a huge disappointment. Definitely the worst that venue has ever sounded, maybe the worst sound I've heard at a metal show. Ended up leaving 3 songs into Nile's set bc what's the point of Karl Sanders playing through a Marshall stack if you can't hear him?

Putting your skills to use I see

Haven't been able to read the article, but I love this.

Every farmer syncing their watches to 7:30am, 3:15 & 5:00pm:

"Ah yes, these are the perfect times to drive a 7 ton tractor 10mph down every main road."

Whew, I made the cut.

I’d like to see more elected officials make the full-throated case for public schools as exactly the place where our American ideals of equality, justice, and democracy are realized, and make our opponents stake a claim against them.
