@lauren_teach @Ms_AmyWang Yes! I haven’t seen the entire episode in a while but from what I remember the other students (besides ralphie) are kinder in their response to Tim’s initial accurate claim about trees talking
Hi my hacking text is the first 10 mins of s2 ep10 of ‘The Magic School Bus Rides Again’ on Netflix if anyone wants to check it out and give some feedback!
i’m analyzing it for its narrative about believing cultural stories and how to vocalize your disagreements in kind ways!
@lauren_teach @Ms_AmyWang The new show is fantastic! The concepts are so much more complex and intertwined compared to the old show! And everything is so much more realistic so the kids aren’t taking off their helmets on Pluto ya know....
@Ms_AmyWang Totally! When I first watched the episode I was really thrown off with how rude the white boy was being when Tim was sharing such a special part of his culture! And at the end of the episode there’s no apology from the kid!
This semester I’m teaching our .@BE3Teach candidates! And, I’m teaching our #preservice teachers that learning can & should happen outside of the classroom.

Made me think: wonder where she learned it/ why she thought it was ok to say

Standardized testing emerged from the eugenics movements attempts to “prove” white supremacy through “objective” means. The SAT is the living legacy of this supremacy masked as meritocracy: https://t.co/nKbSq25VsS
Thinking about all the black, brown, & low-income students who arrive at college & who are made to feel as if they don't deserve to be there, while so many wealthy students have their parents essentially buy their way into these schools & rarely experience the same skepticism.
