It has been hard to read these ... not because they are bad news, but because I feel like in my break up with education, I need to figure out how to not *care* about this stuff. Fat chance, I guess, but one has to try to build some healthy boundaries.
This is a long list of mixed bag stories - mostly offered with little commentary. Enjoy, ignore, distribute, or refute at your leisure.
LAUSD and how teachers are dealing with new discipline guidelines...
Rewriting the curriculum to include a South Korean heroine...in Korea, of course, not here, don't get excited.
What teachers really want, it's not what teacher haters would have you believe.
Closely related: low teacher morale, the newest education crisis.
Op Ed on teachers for the needy.
A different take on schools in the US and what our typical view says about us.
Ostensibly this is a story about a strange coincidence and students' resiliency, but it is also the story of a great teacher.
A piece on a different take on teaching English Language Learners, hopeful..
Geffen, UCLA and paying for private school education for the profs and staff of a public university. You do the math.
Thanks to the many college students standing up to bias, prejudice, ignorance and racism (on small and large scales) around the country, some of the news media decided to talk about microaggression (or whining as many who have never suffered discrimination-other than red cups at starbucks- would have you believe).
