Correct. I interviewed for the current Atlanta article and said exactly this. Standardized testing drives classroom instruction. Districts push down excerpts and time consuming benchmarks to collect data and stay on target for state tests and there’s little time to teach novels.

The trouble with Restorative Practices in schools is that there is too much focus on using them to respond to incidents and not enough on building community to prevent incidents. You can't restore what you didn't build.

Aramark employees are on strike today here outside Citizens Bank Park. Union reps are encouraging fans in attendance to bring your own food or tailgate and stay away from the concession stands.

You can have a lot of gripes with a lot of the particulars of the research that has been done on the affects of phones and social media on kids (and the way that research has been interpreted in popular media) but the fact that we let kids have phones /in classrooms/ is insane.

“Teachers need to get on board with letting kids use AI to write their papers” is gonna end up exactly like “Teachers need to let kids use their cell phones in class in educational ways”

It bears stating plainly that these tragic occurrences can be avoided. The city needs to take proactive steps—invest in Vision Zero and create truly separated bike lanes, which protect cyclists as well pedestrians on adjacent sidewalks. (3/4)

“Take out your books. 250. Huh? Yup. Take… huh? In a sec. Take out your books. The Native Son book. The bathroom? Someone’s out. Hey bud. Hi. Can you take out your book? Appreciate you. Can you tap him? Hi kiddo! Can you take the book out? No worries. Ok everyone… yes, 250.”

@heymrsbond You have reminded me of the discussion we had on this quote in class (re: standardized tests) after reading Ayers’ essay in Teaching When the World is on Fire: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” A pretty powerful discussion ensued!
