Ironically, student-led learning and flipped classrooms rely on the teacher knowing their subject area very well indeed. You have to have a holistic understanding to ask the right questions and spot the moments that catalyze the epiphanies.

flipped classrooms & the unquestioned shift toward “student-led learning” were also part of the deprofessionalization->adjunctification->mechanization program whose ultimate goal was a fully administrative university

John Downes-Angus @johndownesangus.bsky.social · 8h

The over-reliance on standardization as the mechanism for writing instruction really was a pretty unbeatable context to produce de-professionalized teachers okay with using AI to grade

Another heartbreaking mass shooting, this time in Leland, MS. Perhaps it’s barely getting coverage because MS is No. 1 nationally for worst gun violence… something it surely encourages with some of the loosest gun safety policy in the the nation.

Barely making the news!

The mass shooting took place in downtown Leland, Mississippi after the local high school's homecoming football game.

According to the Gun Violence Archive there have been more than 330 mass shootings this year.

I think most young people start out intellectual curious! And then we discourage it in the name of standards and compliance. No wonder we end up with so many angry authoritarians.

I once argued repeatedly on the internet that human beings, being living creatures, do not actually “choose” to have kids. Nature happens; ppl can choose to try not to have kids, but ultimately reproduction is kind of a biological imperative.

So to summarize:

- There is a pattern where Vought makes the RIFs too wide, apparently to flood the zone with sh*t and see who will draw protests.
- They restore some people after outrage and work by us.
- But we are still left with many who remain fired at the end.

Worth saying that a curriculum change is *not* a book ban. A teacher may replace/update TKAM in their curriculum. Students can still access TKAM at their school library or in a classroom library. M4L want to remove books from classrooms, libraries, & other public spaces. Intent & access matter here!

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”
