“None of the Mormon scholars I was sitting with —all of whom know full well how to apply an open, critical gaze to our own culture and tradition—recognized ourselves or our people in the show.”
I look forward to hearing the same folks who have been insisting that teachers just can’t be trusted to decide how/what to teach their students now argue that the solution to school shootings is for those same teachers to be armed.
This is 10-year-old Xavier. His family confirms to @ABC that he was shot and killed at school today in Uvalde, TX. He was in 4th grade. His cousin says, Xavier's mom was at his award ceremony 1-2 hours prior to the shooting, not knowing it would be the last time she saw her son.
“Why are you here?!"
A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting.
“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”
good morning to every english teacher who woke up this morning like “today’s the day I assign a short story that will haunt them till the day they die”
I teach Sunday School for the 15, 16 and 17 year old teenagers at our church. This day was the story of Joseph from the Old Testament. What better way to teach that lesson than to wear my Joseph coat. So I guess you could say, Joseph taught about Joseph. 😉
@clark_kayla_ Convinced Nick to watch with me in the fall and he LOVED it all (we skipped New Moon except for the last 20 minutes - I just couldn’t make him watch that one). An iconic must-see series!!
если вы знаете, кого-то из России, позвоните им и скажите, что их СМИ лгут им. Украина не хочет воевать, они просто не хотят правительства Путина и не хотят быть оккупированными
Imagine juggling this new reality with over 200 students, which is how many I had when I taught ELA in Utah. I don’t know a single teacher who doesn’t earnestly respond to parent concerns. These bills are absolutely preposterous and offensively out of touch.
Utah is facing an education crisis and HB 234 will push more good teachers away. I’m so tired of public school teachers being used as political pawns and boogeymen, especially by people who clearly haven’t studied pedagogy. https://t.co/5cxjOvhwvP
Teaching critical reading and critical thinking should be the priority of these Utah school districts, but instead they are disregarding their own policies to remove books from school libraries. It’s a dangerous precedent - I thought we all agreed on that?
While some might fear a future where more valedictorians share things like their sexual identity in their speeches, I think we should instead fear a future in which they don’t.
