My students turned in their culminating project for this unit: a newspaper at the turn of the 20th century addressing muckrakers and Progressivist reforms, immigration, and urbanization. It turned out GREAT! We printed out everyone’s work to put around the room AND for them to take home to show off.

Without saying too much, I really cannot stand encountering AI-generated schoolwork. We have to do something, and I’m THISCLOSE to making people handwrite all constructed response assignments in those heinous blue books in front of me.
Can’t we geofence schools from AI? SOMETHING? ANYTHING?

So I have been teaching a unit on Westward Expansion (ew) with a special focus of Indigenous points of view and deconstructing American policies through primary sources, and the kids are constantly like WHAT? THAT’S F’ED UP. Yes, my precious tadpoles, it is.

I need my British friends to stop pearl clutching about American leftist responses because 1, he was an evil man, and 2, the American legacy of violence in politics is a direct result of British colonization going back to 1607 Jamestown.

I actually think we really do need to draw a line in the sand here because if you feel so compelled to eulogise and mourn someone who was literally a white supremacist and fascist by all definitions of those words, maybe we should just consider you a white suprematicist and fascist too.

Today was difficult because I had to talk about part of my 9/11 experience, but the students seemed to genuinely realize why it is important to tell these stories and have a safe place to ask questions.
