Students have consistently voiced that they want more climate education in their schools. ☀️Yet nearly 60% of teachers do not teach about climate change. Ahead of #EarthDay, read how NEA educators are working to meet the growing demand for climate lessons: bit.ly/4d49jZm
@NEAToday Get your cult away from our kids.
@ConceptualJames @NEAToday The dishonesty here is strong. The headline leads with "students voicing" concern, but the article provides nothing to support that. What it does is provide a poll--commissioned by *NPR*--of parents & teachers, with a question structure designed to generate the desired results.
This is way to standard in K-12 education. So much of the crap they push as “best practice” or “research based” is BS based on prior BS papers/“research” based on some report that’s bogus that relies upon someone’s “lived experience” as a Black woman in a white school teen diary entry masked as a dissertation. It’s almost all fake and performative.
@RhyenStaley @Nemtastic1 @ConceptualJames @NEAToday they like scaring children. that's our starting point.
Big time. I don’t have it handy, but I read a post from LA Unified a while back where the district highlighted the climate activism of a 5th grader who admitted in the interview they were super worried about climate change. Congrats DSA controlled school board, mission accomplished.
@RhyenStaley @coddlethis42 @Nemtastic1 @ConceptualJames @NEAToday I was the same way as a kid born in ‘81. I was very depressed at age 11 and battle with it daily. The U.S. junk media is to blame for at least part of it. I thought we would all be dead by the year 2,000. Doom and gloom was programmed into me.
@RhyenStaley @coddlethis42 @Nemtastic1 @ConceptualJames @NEAToday A perfect example is a neighbors kid freakin out a while back because it was 102° in North Carolina one summer. I told her it got 102° twenty years ago in Greensboro when I was younger. She couldn’t believe it.
