It’s absolutely wild seeing these people’s conspiracies about what they think is happening in classrooms.
Parents like this are part of why I quit teaching. If they were half as invested in their kids’ schooling as they are on social media, they might have a clue what was going on in the classroom
Schools often use sight words in coordination with phonics.
Sight words are the most basic, common words that are used all the time. It gives the kids a quick entry into reading (which gets them excited) as they learn phonics. By October, the new sight words are introduced as examples of phonics
Now if only we could get the organizers of these massive events to solidify behind a list of demands, as well as a list of escalating actions until they are met.
Without that, these are sadly just parades. Not saying we shouldn’t do them - just that we need to take it up to the next level.
Cincy had one lone guy trying to instigate while his buddy filmed. It amounted to nothing. He tried saying he was scared and needed a police escort out, but even the cops weren’t interested in his bullshit.
Every one of these instagram events should be hijacked by people doing actual resistance work.
Bring zines and flyers. Start handing out info and networking with your community. Get people involved in the real work of resistance, in whatever form you pursue it.
COPS ARE ALLOWED TO LIE TO YOU TO GET YOU TO INCRIMINATE YOURSELF
Don’t believe cops.
Don’t talk to cops unless you have to - and then you should ONLY ask if you are being detained, provide name etc if you are, & verbally state you are remaining silent until you get a lawyer
And getting a bunch of people to pile on when you attack someone online is evidence of nothing except the toxicity of social media and online leftists.
Might be time to log off and do some self-reflection with what kind of human you are being.
This thread is a perfect encapsulation of why people think leftists are gatekeeping assholes.
Remember that you cannot interpret tone when reading text. You might be jumping to conclusions and turning an honest conversation into a dog pile for no good reason.
What part of EVERYTHING going on in this country makes you think that it is in any way ok to EVER just take someone’s word for it that they are an expert? Or that a resume confirms expertise?
They don’t answer my question. And, tbh, they kinda make me think his knowledge is all academic.
I’ve SEEN people return a tear gas canister with a hockey stick, for example. So when I say give it a push not a smack, it’s based on experience. Not conjecture.
