“'Over the last year, one of the things that has honestly really surprised me is just how quickly this particular movement has taken off,’ DeAngelis [a 3rd grader teacher and member of the AIM Coalition] said. 'It’s reflective of what parents and teachers are seeing in their schools.’”

I feel....hope, like real hope! I just announced in class that NYC was banning AI in elementary and middle schools and my class full of preservice social studies teachers just applauded...unprompted. 1/2

The real "administrative bloat" in education is the money that schools are being forced to fork over to tech vendors that can just keep jacking up their prices year after year, because it would cost even more to rebuild the systems and retrain the people that were built/trained on that tech.

Of course, there's basically 0 chance that the cost of ChatGPT for all stays at $13M/yr. The whole ed tech model is to offer an initial price that's ridiculously low, get schools hooked (ie, by helping them embed the new tech in all their systems), then jack up the price for contracts long-term. 3/

Today’s @civicsoftech.bsky.social blog features the brilliant @santiagojedar.bsky.social and his work with Latino youth as "sociotechnical designers: people who shape the terms on which technologies enter their social lives, sometimes by reconfiguring those terms and sometimes by refusing them.”

I regret to inform you that these traditional college courses in AI are indistinguishable from the classrooms I sat in at for-profit colleges 15 years ago. Centralized curriculum & branding, technological control, “virtual” libraries, & bureaucratic alienation of labor.

Every flyer looks exactly the same now. Same shades of blue, red, and orange. Same typeface. Same extremely noisy design. Slop city

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Literally this…and these ruling class families may live on the farm but they ain’t farmhouses. These are mansions. Oh and then their beach houses, or apt in the fancy city. And send their kids to private schools in the city. We all knew/know this growing up in Central CA

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Most rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

The giants have always been my number #1 sports love. I would have a little transistor radio I would bring to school, to bed, in the car to listen to every inning as a kid. They are currently an embarrassment. First time in 35 years I won’t follow or listen.

SFGATE@sfgate.com · 3mo ago

The Giants are back in San Francisco for the first time since their four pitchers’ Pride Night protest became a national story. Before Tuesday’s game, president of baseball operations Buster Posey declined further questions, saying he’d discuss only baseball matters.
