A fifth-grader from #Brownsville ISD reported being bullied by his principal. Five days later, he was handcuffed and detained. He spent 3 days in solitary confinement.
It breaks my heart thinking about all the #students who were ready to start their new #MSc or #phd in foreign countries and now they have to give up because they cannot travel from many more countries other than #Israel and #Palestine
Today in Labor History October 2, 1968: The Tlatelolco Massacre occurred in Mexico City. 15,000 students were demonstrating at the Plaza of Three Cultures against the army’s occupation of the University. The army, with 5,000 soldiers and 200 tanks, ambushed the students, opened fire, and killed nearly 300. They also arrested thousands. This occurred ten days before the opening of the Olympics, the same Olympics where Tommy Smith and John Carlos raised their gloved-fists in a Black Power salute. The U.S. contributed to the massacre by providing the Mexican military with radios, weapons, ammunition and riot control training. Furthermore, the CIA provided the Mexican military with daily reports on student activities in the weeks leading up to the massacre.
Chilean film maker Alejandro Jodorosky portrayed the massacre in his film “The Holy Mountain” (1973). Chilean author Roberto Bolano referenced it in his 1999 novel, “The Savage Detectives.”
Hello #Education friends! I'm working on a manuscript that describes philosophical foundations of #PublicEd in the US, describes how the enterprise went off the rails with misunderstanding of “#progressive” and more, and places #schools within the administrative state in the US (with a call to reinvent the work of that state so that it’s more person- and mission-centered). Thread continues …
@edutooters@edutooter The work then goes on to describe #StrategicPlanning and other practical protocols for aligning the work of #teachers and #students to a school's (and all of education’s) mission and goals. Particularly, I recommend "theory of action" as a path toward reinventing strategic planning and, thus, reinventing the work of schools.
First, does this sound interesting for education leaders?
Second, if so, what publishers would folks recommend?
In keeping with our back-to-school theme this week, here we have an 8th-grade classroom at St. Veronica's school with 40 students seated at tables or desks, each equipped with a Burroughs calculating machine as a math tool, 1955.
Do you manage expected #student work load, care for their #workload, rely on #students to self-manage their #work#load? Or, how do you relate otherwise in your #teaching to the hours students are to engage in studying?
