Even though I can’t blow my horn anymore, I can still think and do my music in my head. I’m grateful for that. Music is so great, and so great to me. However, this stupid crazy world won’t go away and give me my peace. 1/7

I work in a urban school district where 70% of students are Latinx, the district adapted Social Justice standards for students to meet. Am I crazy to think that the administration and teachers should be graded on how they meet Social Justice standards, not students? #education

Isn’t Social Justice about being recognized and seen rather than some special self-knowledge about one’s identity?

I have questions for the void: Does Abbott Elementary have elements that question white supremacy in schools? Are segregated schools (like mine) that have majority white teaching staffs (like mine) a bedrock of white supremacy? #Education

Lesson for this year: upon getting new curriculum, immediately make alterations based on the pedagogical assumptions and methods you are used to. Fidelity is a myth.

Last week I was offered and accepted the opportunity to be a teacher mentor for only black teacher that I have ever seen at my elementary school other than a occasional per diem sub. I hope that I can enhance their first year’s experience. #education

Are all moral panics directly connected to the stability of state power and the ruling class? From what I’ve heard, King James believed that the elimination of witch craft was essential to preserving the divine endowment of his rule.

I’m struggling to forgive the Halloween episode sins of unashamed promotion of Marvel IP and a less than sly disrespect of my home state. I see you #AbbottElementary.

Conservative scolds are correct, how dare we coddle children. Next thing you know, they will run the world. Kronos ate his children to keep them in line.

Who could imagine a uber-tech-bro unleashing a dystopian nightmare apocalypse on a social network out of personal grievance and an upside-down sense of fairness?

So, I’ve been thinking about Ukraine and it’s significance in current events in the US. How, by coincidence, our former president and another world leader were obsessed by this relatively small country. How is the fate of this nation entwined with our politics and power.

The othering of the carnage brought about by easy access to firearms in the US is overt, and it denies the suffering and real danger there is in it for everyone. There are aren’t enough “good guys” to stop it.

Christine I’m not here anymore Langhoff jshore Certainly lots to unpack in this article (and thank you for doing that). If we know anything, it is that the Globe refuses to ever interview BostonPublicSchools parents (but can always get quotes from people at neoliberal education reform groups, sometimes masquerading as others).

I can’t even explain to you how incredibly on brand this reaction is for my neighborhood. It all comes back to market basket.

Former president, not the first in the world to, declares that just democracy can only be maintained if we abolish elections as they are and current election rules. How far have they gotten to accomplish this goal? Who does this open the door to invite in? Could they be worse?
