HS teacher Adam Sanchez at #AHA23 today, "Gloria Ladson-Billings explains that Critical Race Theory is not a conclusion, but a question: 'What accounts for the persistence of racial inequality?' And this question should be at the heart of any good social studies curriculum." 🧵

Honest and direct talk from the former Gov. Arne Carlson. He says @UMNews President Joan Gabel needs to quit one of her jobs and the 9 regents who approved that she join the Securian Financial board should be gone. Plus, words for @GovTimWalz as well! omny.fm/shows/chad-hartman/a…

This is happening because the ice cap at the North Pole isn’t large enough anymore to keep the polar air mass in place so it slips down. This is climate change in action.
This week tens of millions of Americans are about to experience one of the coldest days of their life. Wind chills as cold as -70F in Wyoming and Montana, negative wind chills as far south Austin, Texas, and even single-digit wind chills in the Florida Panhandle. Deadly cold.

“The schools we have now are committed to control through punishments and rewards—sorting, ranking, competition, and the treatment of young people as objects to be acted upon rather than human beings who themselves act in and on the world.” ~ Carla Shalaby

My perspective has always been, what can we allow students to do with these devices that they could not do otherwise. While productivity, organization, assessment and access to class content improves efficiency, it doesn’t create new opportunities for students.
