@Cobratate It’s telling that you equate school with corporate media. This is a false equivalence. They are opposing forces. As a teacher, my job is to empower students to make conscious choices - the opposite of corps, who want you to just emotionally react.
As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.
It amazes me that MrBeast can give 1,000 people their hearing back, and instead of asking why the heck the US healthcare system didn't do this 15 years ago, Americans are attacking MrBeast.
Yes, MrBeast is probably getting thousands of new subscribers because of his actions, but that doesn't mean he's taking advantage of these people.
He's literally giving them one of their 5 senses back.
Do Americans really feel that deaf people should remain deaf, if there is a solution out there them? We live in what we call the best country on Earth. Shouldn't people who can be cured of deafness be taken care of?
I honestly want to know your thoughts.
🎉 Celebrating our recent SCIS UDL Fair! 🙌 Teachers-teaching-teachers model fostered an environment of collaboration & growth, leading to actionable insights for our classrooms. Cheers to empowering each other! #UDLFair#TTT#scisUDLchat
Q3. In your experience, what common student barriers to learning do students face in your subject/s, and how could UDL be utilised to remove the barriers and empower these students? #scisUDLchat
A2: colleague shared feeling of exhaustion from initiatives constantly being replaced by "the new thing". My goal: apply Implementation Science to UDL PD, empower teachers, give them a voice & choice, define their own success! Let's work together to make UDL our own! #scisUDLchat
Q2. What are some common concerns or apprehensions educators face when implementing UDL in the classroom and how do you envision addressing these challenges to effectively integrate UDL into daily instruction on our campus? #scisUDLchat
A1: My students have often said, "Is this English class, or..." bc I endeavor to 'highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships and generalization' and 'maximize transfer' by providing texts and examples from diverse subjects and perspectives. #scisUDLchat
Q1. What strategies can you identify in your daily practice that already align with UDL? Share successful examples from yourself or your colleagues. #scisUDLchat
Welcome to the first SCIC UDL Slow Chat! Monday at 8am the first question will be posted. You can respond with your own tweet, typing A1 at the start of your tweet, and #scisUDLchat at the end. More details (and this week's questions) posted here: https://t.co/vBszglBaRj
@hopefullofpeace@TorontoStar I think it’s better that they are freezing corporate accounts, so it isn’t a direct attack on the truckers themselves - who could potentially also get more desperate and aggressive. Also, paychecks would require way more effort and management and working with each company.
So let me get this straight: The Canadian women's hockey team wore N95 masks while easily beating Russia 6-1 at the Olympics...but some people are so inconvenienced by having to wear a mask that they're holding the city of Ottawa under siege & claiming it's all about "freedom?"
