I don't like the narrative of modern day homesteading (and localism more generally) being a form of retreat or disengagement from larger societal concerns. I see it more as a prefiguration of a healthier society that can emerge from its broad-scale and networked diffusion

Does anyone agree or disagree with the notion that parents and teachers are institutionally pitted against each other? Why? How? There seems to be unhealthy defensiveness by all of us.

I lost my copy of Zak Stein’s “Education in a Time Between Worlds” in the Lismore Floods. Anybody know if there is an e-book edition? Peace ✌🏽

My mother is 93.

She tells stories of butchers performing illegal abortions on her friends pre- Roe v Wade. Friends who were raped by bosses, uncles, strangers.

DNA test every baby and make it that the father is 50% responsible, time & money. Oh... Is that invasive?

Today I have decided to quit teaching. Genuinely not something I’d thought I’d ever say this time last year, but the life-altering trauma of the last nine months has changed me into a person I barely recognise and I am struggling with the demands of the job.

Preparing kids to become startup founders by having them do pitch contests is like preparing kids to become pilots by having them run around the room with their arms stuck out, making whooshing noises.

Kindergarten should be play-based.

I live in the Maroubra area. If people were inconsiderate enough to have a party that resulted in 11 +ive cases then I’ll cop the consequences for their actions. If people out west have curfews then we shouldn’t be any different. Our community do not think we are above anyone.

Another Sunday snippet for my friends

Schooling shouldn’t be something that society does. Rather, education must be recognized as both fundamental and prior to the very possibility of society itself. This does not mean we must manufacture learning.

[Josh Howard @LearnJoshLearn]

@GladiatorNate56 @ModestTeacher @NolesAndPhins In Australia we have a ‘living’ minimum wage for workers 18+. You can legally start working in ‘entry’ jobs @ >14 but @ a lower wage. Because of the high wage the cost of living is high. But worth it. I grew up in the Bay Area so I know what homelessness and poverty look like.

Agreements between creator and viewer, that were once sacrosanct, such as which favorite characters must never be killed off, are being violated in popular series, in ways that reflect a growing zeitgeist in the Anthropocene generation.

Let's say it together...

High intelligence doesn't decrease bias... in fact, it often does the opposite.
