Itโs not just the parents. We need to take literacy seriously as a society. Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen X are going to pay the price when weโre older if we allow an entire generation of children to grow up without strong foundational skills.

When I was younger, I thought I knew it all. Now that Iโm older, the more I learn, the more I realize how little I actually know.
A lot of people wanted Trump back because they were making money off his contentโthe clicks, outrage, podcasts, and constant attention. But this time feels different. Weโre not watching a new political experiment
CAPTCHA really had the audacity to ask if WE were human while we were doing free labor training the robot.
Damn, at this rate weโre gonna start buying spices from the Biden administration too. ๐ญ
I keep seeing โBlack parentsโ in the headlines, but barely any Black parents in the actual conversation. School choice is not equal choice. Before asking why a parent didnโt choose โbetter,โ ask: did they actually have a real choice? gissellramirez.substack.com/p/public-edu...
Public Education Is Bigger Than One Parentโs Choice
School choice is not the same for every family, and individual parents cannot solve systemic failures.

The media always acts like Trump isnโt acting exactly like Trump. โWow, unprecedented.โ Meanwhile, he said basically the same thing the week before.
Black mothers are tired of having to prove that our children deserve protection.
or kids "misbehave" We are forcing parents to work two or three jobs to put a roof over their heads and food on the table. Forget getting kids into sports; that is another "extra" expense that families don't have I'm truly just over capitalism. If you have two houses, your staff shouldn't struggle
Humans created systems so anti-human that weโve become our own worst enemy. We built structures that prioritize productivity, profit, and control over actual human needsโand then wonder why people are exhausted.
There's actually alot of research based, on happiness indexes and the like that puts the optimum wealth for happiness much lower than you'd think. Like everything, there's a curve, and it absolutely starts going down.
โWhy donโt your students succeed like kids in Norway? Must be something wrong with them.โ Hmmm. Letโs look at Norway does for children and familiesโฆ..
NYC schools are asked to do far more than teach. Title I schools are carrying the weight of poverty, food insecurity, mental health, and family servicesโthen getting blamed for struggling under systems they did not create.
The problem is that NYCโs education system is managed too much like a business. Children are not numbers, schools are not corporations, and education should not be driven by efficiency over actual human needs.

the way media talks about AI like itโs some all-knowing digital god is infuriating. Itโs software. Models, code, data, compute, servers, human decisions and probabilities. It can be powerful as hell, but it is not magic, consciousness or an oracle.

I wrote this as an act of love. Mothers like me are called brave, but we should not have to be brave just to raise our children and survive everyday life. I know the systemโand I was still afraid. #DV #CPS gissellramirez.substack.com/p/i-know-the...

Today, making โgood moneyโ doesnโt automatically mean you can afford a good-money lifestyle anymore.
If they could, they would. They've made that clear.
