Education as the Great Equalizer: "More Myth than Reality": wp.me/pJX8i-8ly via@thechalkface

  • US social inequity is historically entrenched and increasing. An affluent birth trumps nearly all other factors, including any child’s or adult’s drive, gifts, or educational attainment.
so - let's change that.. an affluent birth - as in - what does that mean to a community.. in the city. as the day. community as curriculum/credential/family/nclb ness
making sure not to get caught up in assumed definitions of success.. no?

This energy bill thing just reduces planned rises from eye- watering to painful. No-one saves any money. Just a PR thing, typical Cameron.

"How old is the shepherd?" An amazing video that highlights the need for the CCSS Standards for Math Practice: robertkaplinsky.com/how-old-is-the…
I unfortunately believe that these types of responses are common amongst students.  What are your thoughts?  What are you doing to help students “make sense of problems” in your classroom?  If you try this same question out with your students, please post a comment about how it went along with the students’ grade level.




isn't this the most lovely of problems .. for us...?
ie:why the heck are we still using a given ..ridiculous question. as a reliable problem.. question...?
and basing it on students who have been to ivied by coercive Ed.. ie: ccsc... and are yet... still.. in the confines of a classroom....
while adults are asking ridiculous questions ... then studying their answers like they are guinea pigs... rats... bringing shame (and so ongoing allegiance to the coercion) with the mere stance of question/questioning...

look at us..
just pause... and look at what we are doing...


what are your thoughts?  What are you doing to help students “make sense of problems” in your classroom?


1. getting them out of the classroom.
2. getting off their back with all the pat questions..
3. trusting them
4. trusting learning
5. assuming much noise from statisticians/academia/ et al.... aka..us... people living in deep (often denied) fear...

Should SC Increase Charter School Investment? wp.me/p2GmBR-tS via@plthomasEdD
Like medicine, then, education and education reform will continue to fail if placed inside the corrosive dynamics of market forces. Instead, the reform of education must include the expertise of educators who are not bound to advocating for customers, but encouraged, rewarded and praised for offering the public the transparent truth about what faces us and what outcomes are the result of any and every endeavor to provide children the opportunity to learn as a member of a free and empowered people.

can that happen in the system..?
don't we then become the kids/rats in the cage/classroom.. being asked the age of the shepherd...?

 Instead, the reform of education must include the expertise of educators who are not bound
am afraid the verbiage-expertise-is plenty binding on its own... no?

encouraged, rewarded and praised for offering the public the transparent truth about what faces us and what outcomes are the result of any and every endeavor to provide children the opportunity to learn as a member of a free and empowered people.

wouldn't the outcome then be...
a free and empowered people...?
let's try that..
let's just try..no...?
in the city.
as the day.
community as curriculum/credential.?

Next, if charter schools are a fiscally responsible investment, they should be producing outcomes that distinguish themselves from traditional public schools. However, analyses from two years of report cards for charter schools in SC reveal the clear picture that more investment is not justified (see below for complete analysis of both years’ comparisons):

ha... no heed to go researching...
evidence that last paragraph is off.... within the words/vision/practice/ entrapment  of the very next paragraph...no..?
