@TheBrancaShow@Reverend_Rico Sometimes. Sometimes not.
But we have more than one judge in this country that would take the opportunity to erode rights by noting that "privileges" are granted, while "rights" are inherent.
If the semantics are indifferent, there is little reason to use the term privilege.
@TheBrancaShow@Reverend_Rico Just because people have historically attempted to water down the nature of our rights doesn't mean that we have to help them along the way.
There is a distinct difference between a "privilege" and a "right."
Semantics matter.
The Ed tech experiment has failed. The quicker and sooner our nation schools realize that, and move on to effective methods, the clicker and sooner we can recover from the damage it has done.
@karenvaites Oklahoma legislature is currently revising its early literacy legislation. Sadly, haven’t heard any talk of knowledge building. Disheartened by this.
@karenvaites Quality behavior precedes quality instruction. It is a universal truth in education. Note the emphasis on order in the top schools in Britain.
Also, I would say that schools that take a deliberate approach to literacy instruction also take a deliberate approach to behavior.
@greg_ashman The existence of one condition does not preclude the importance of another.

The crisis is much bigger than anyone realizes. Functional level reading and writing skills are absent in a bulk of cases of our graduates.
And the answer has been more screen time and less rigor.
An abrupt turn is needed quickly.
NEW: UC San Diego has released a new report documenting a “steep decline in the academic preparedness” of its freshmen.
The number of entering students needing remedial math has exploded from 1/100 to 1/8.
They’ve had to create a second remedial class covering elementary and middle school math skills in addition to the one covering gaps from high school.

@mnachievement@mctm_mn Amazing that so many educators will try ANY type of instructional fad EXCEPT sitting kids in desks, providing direct instruction, working problems with them, and supporting them as they individually practice.
@garethkthomas@EachOtherUK The only people it makes feel uncomfortable are those without any reasoning abilities.
Unsocial behavior is unsocial behavior, regardless of environment.
The reality is that consequences are more dire outside of school than within.
@pfmanna@rickhess99 Please provide proof of non-Ivy league professors and administrators who were pushing back against DEI.
Because there’s a litany of professors who were persecuted for questioning its efficacy.
