In what kind of messed up culture of education do we need RESEARCH to tell us that student-generated questions are a good idea!?

This was what SNCC told volunteer teachers for the Freedom Schools in 1964. From J. Hale’s The Freedom Schools (2016).

“All of the students will have a knowledge far beyond their years…of how to survive in a society that is out to destroy you and…of the extent of evil in this world. Because these young people possess such knowledge, they will be ahead of you in many ways.”

This by @gbiesta is fundamental to current debates re pedagogy in EYFS: ‘The focus on what works makes it difficult, if not impossible, to ask the questions of what it should work for and who should have a say in determining the latter’ (Biesta, 2007, p. 5)

"ESAs, like vouchers, have proven to be a way to use public tax dollars to fund private religious schools. In fact, in states where voucher programs exist, vouchers primarily fund religious schools (particularly Catholic ones)." @TheAndySpears https://t.co/2z7mMdj3eL

Thank you for your diligent work on this issue and thanks to all the activists who continued to speak up!

“Teaching isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are,” @FLOTUS, a former teacher herself, says. @usedgov Now it’s time for three r’s of teaching “recruit, respect, retain” Dr. Biden said.

[Tennessee Education Association @TEA_teachers]

The Tennessee Education Association calls on Tennessee Governor Bill Lee to sever ties with Hillsdale College and support legislation to limit the power of the state charter commission, restoring local control in public education. https://t.co/oza4WtXKZE🛑#lies2privatize

[Janine Al-Aseer, Ph.D @JanineAlAseer]

According to the poll, 68 percent of Tennesseans support traditional public schools, compared to 61 percent who have favorable opinions of private schools, 44 percent for magnet schools and only 41 percent for charter schools. #communityschools #edequity #ListenTothePeople

[Brian Sohn @BriankSohn]

@VoteGloriaJ And rather than going on strike, teachers quit. Or they just don’t even start. Then they call it a teacher shortage and propose strategies that are part of the same privatization playbook.
