Glad I pass this massive worksite every day—wouldn’t otherwise have understood the wonders of worker helmet stickers. These guys are like skaters with their Pro-Tecs. Just saw someone with a massive “💩Happens” sticker on his forehead directing traffic.
Loved that this episode captured what makes public schools so vital: our thoughts about them don’t fall along predictable political axes, so conversations about them necessarily entail ideologically diverse coalition building.

Interesting to read this as a subject-specific problem. As an HS English teacher, I have the benefit of being able to pluck poems/texts from the internet for use in my class. Harder to pluck math problems. Issues of copyright/publishing industry seem worth considering, too.

At the point in this long spring break where I’m strumming/singing funny Gillian Welch songs to my 10 mo old. These lyrics are insane and she loved it.
As we approach the #BrownvBoard anniversary, check out this “Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education” article, timeline, and myth vs. fact infographic by @Insight_News. #BrownAt70 #HonestHistory #TeachTruth insightintodiversity.com/celebrating-th…
Interesting mix on @WKCRFM of what you can always expect (good music) with some first-hand coverage of what’s unfolding at Columbia.
If you had a really-really hard time teaching—hated it, even—please don’t start writing about how to fix schools or get into some kind of leadership. Pretty good chance the problem was you. Seems to be a breed of #edutwitter people who just hated this job.
New Bergen Square looks in #JerseyCity looking nice. I love this city
Not trying to sound ungrateful but this NYC spring break is really long? Miss my students/want to talk to them about reading and writing and all that stuff again. Guess that’s what breaks are for.
This review is such an excellent example what close reading can do to enrich a reader’s experience. I love her work and have this one on my shelf—pulling it down now for a re-read.

Wow did not know that the phrase the kids say all the time originated in Esphyr Slobodkina’s 1940 “Caps for Sale”
Thanks for the shout-out! If teachers’ work is solely responsible for ensuring widespread economic opportunity, then they can also blame us for poverty. That’s a win-win for neoliberals who want the economic order to continue as it is.

Misread this chapter title in Robert Westbrook’s intellectual bio of Dewey as “Chicano pragmatism” and was very interested/confused.

Well, at least the Ayn Rand fans are consistent! They know that Christianity is their great enemy.
Wow, @jacobin is pushing hard for the Christian case for socialism. And they're right: "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" logically and historically derives from the Sermon on the Mount. Which should discredit socialism.
When we get the opportunity to speak with high school students about unions it goes without saying we discuss the unions role in civil and human rights. Our job doesn't begin and end on the factory floor.
Every union local in the country should be running youth education programs like this and I am not joking in the least. As usual, the Alabama labor movement is on it

Is this where I soft launch the news that I’m doing a young readers edition of FIGHT LIKE HELL? Maybe :)
Two serious challenges for students in 'humanities' subjects that are easier to meet in other subjects: (1) Knowing when an essay is done; (2) Knowing when you've reached an understanding. Neither have as clear-cut a hard stop as in e.g. computer science assignments.

@HKorbey I teach AP math and Algebra 1, and this is not a small observation. AP frameworks (not a curriculum, but they are clear and focused) allow curriculum writers to create coherent materials. I am old (33rd yr teaching) and so I’ve watched a few slow motion train wrecks.
