Sometimes I think it's worth stepping back and thinking about all the effort/energy that is going into integrating something literally called "artificial" into our education system. Like, it's in the name...

Once again, it’s not fair to any other Airbnb hosts anywhere that my mom had one and it was perfect in every way, all amenities and extras you wouldn’t even think about—she had them. And yes, I realize I’m a privileged princess.

Could you teach without grades? Could they learn without grades? Without grades. For better or worse? #ReimaginED

Last week my principal asked staff for a “wish list” to brainstorm academic goals. I said, “raise the rigor”. He asked if I had specific ideas and I said “ohhh boy, so many ideas!” and we moved on to making the list.

I despise cleaning the house. Hate it. My privileged ass has a cleaning lady that comes every 6-ish weeks or so. But my same privileged ass is saving my money for my upcoming vacation so I have to clean it all myself 😭 pray for me

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

Big move in curbing screen time in LA — banning computer use until second grade and then putting limits on screen time. My concern: Ss with disabilities and in need of intervention would get MORE I-ready … and that feels problematic (highest need should yield MORE *human* contact, not tech)

And there it is, folks. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

“Teach them some basics” when grown ass folks don’t even say please and thank you anymore. Children are sponges. Whatever we don’t like about them is an exact reflection of… YOU.

I hear you, but children are not becoming “EXTREMELY different” in isolation. Children mirror ecosystems. They are developing inside stressed families, overwhelmed school systems, economic instability with adults who are dysregulated, disconnected, and disrespectful. Children learn alongside us.

These new kids are EXTREMELY different but that still doesn’t absolve us from learning to communicate with them and doing our best to understand them, enough to teach them some basics. But respectfully. It’s a job that’s gotta be done.

Realizing that “they will rob themselves of themselves” sounds like I am blaming kids! I am not. My students are learning in a school district that refuses to disable the “AI Overview” feature & is stuffing slop tools down their throats.

Reading & responding this morning, I was also raging. No matter how much I try to convince them otherwise, a fair number of these kids will feed their beautiful words into slop machines to make them sleeker & shinier. They will rob themselves of themselves b/c it has become to norm to do so.

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

Not true. There are many reasons why we got here. People not voting is one of them. Not even the most important one. This pedestrian analysis needs to stop. The number one reason we got here, above all, is racism. Until we contend with that we won’t even understand voter disenfranchisement.

Pants of Montgomery@montie-pants.bsky.social · 6mo ago

People not voting is exactly how we got here.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

This whole thread. This is art. I’m in awe of the way some of the designers interpreted works of art in their fashion designs.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

The future in 2 stories: 1) AI will create a permanent underclass that no amount of college and career readiness can address and 2) school-as-workplace prep will hasten this along

Respectfully, this graph shows how the Supreme Court was lost. We cannot "vote harder" in order to overcome the will of the White US majority when white supremacy constantly changes its own rules. Understanding this helps you understand this country. decolonialatlas.wordpress.com/2020/11/06/w...

COVID killed (and is still killing) over 1 million Americans and the long-term effects of (re)infection continue to impact tens of millions more, yet our response to COVID was framed as an overblown exaggeration. But now phones & #edtech are framed as a "legitimate" moral panic worth responding to!

Nick Covington@covingtonedu.bsky.social · 6mo ago

It's definitely both/and. The emphasis on tech is the more popular narrative and (ironically?) more likely to push attention-grabbing headlines and bestsellers, while nobody has a #1 Amazon Bestseller about how schools need to be more responsive, understanding, & compassionate bc of long COVID...

"Moderate or severe problems concentrating were reported in 38% of younger children with long COVID, versus 14% without. Among adolescents, 37% of those with long COVID reported trouble focusing, versus 11% of those without." I was told screens were the problem? www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu...
