POV: You've forgotten to turn off your alarm, you left the bathroom light on, and you finished a scary book the night before, so you wake up to the portal to Hell

Alfie Kohn 6/5 If teachers are robbed of their autonomy over curriculum, and more importantly, robbed by ineffective admin of behavior policies that preserve learning for the group but rather favor the rights of the one to destroy learning, the ship has sailed.

having written

This Episode of Bluey is Called

The Pill

#blueytrek

From worst to best: curriculum designed by...
1) distant authorities
2) the teacher, well in advance
3) the teacher, for these particular students
4) the teacher, WITH these particular students

The obvious question is “why start now?”

It’s a special, cowardly, underhanded kind of hate to convene a surprise meeting to cut a people’s throats JCPS. I guess we’re not pretending any more.

Louisville Urban League Courier Journal Dr. Marty Pollio

This busing issue has serious ramifications for nearly 100,000 students, their families, employees, and employers throughout the city. That is why we gave you 23 minutes notice about this meeting we're holding in a Circle K restroom handicapped stall with no overflow space.

There *is* a culture of power.
It *is* arbitrary in that it is set by who currently holds power.
It *is* easier if you are invited in because they tell you the rules.

Tonight’s transportation vote fell squarely along racial lines.

Such a clear illustration of our failure to truly address the white supremacy in our systems and in ourselves. Even when so many leaders and community members were trying to show us another way.

The majority of political and public education communities in Louisville rely heavily on bullying to maintain power and influence and we wonder why the kids aren't okay.

JCPS royally screwed this up, and while the community that is impacted by it tries to get someone to help, our alleged leaders in Frankfort are laughing it up. /6

The four white members of the school board voted for this and the three black members voted against it.

I'm thrilled for Central, but the Board just told a BUNCH of Black kids, 'If you want to participate in a magnet program, your only choice is the Black school.'

The Have Nots vs The Have Yachts:

Your reminder that teachers can only deduct up to $300 worth of teaching supplies on their taxes, which are necessary to do their jobs, while CEOs can write off their private jets and yachts, which are not necessary to do theirs.
