That's a bonnet.

@servindog ZEro lies detected. it's less the actual cut and more the combing out. why?

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@BriMarkoff Exactly what i came to say! Relatedly, how can we possibly discuss universal or national measures of quality when the local actors have made specific evil decisions? But how can we then put the responsibilities "reform" and response in the hands of those same local delinquents?

It really made me think even harder about the mapping activity that @KaraHaaSciEd led in class. And also (not completely academic) how this could become body art.

#VirtualTea with @DrChezareWarren on space and place. This week's nugget for me, from Dr.@MariGray14: "We produce a particular space, and space produces us as particular kinds of bodies." Also, the idea of spatial justice and the various means of struggle for it. Thank you.

@zanbanger has me thinking about a prescient songwriters playlist for these times. i'm starting with Tracy Chapman, "So" and Joan Armatrading, "Mean Old Man" ... probably some Bob Dylan song as reimagined by Nina Simone? A "These Four Years" set of songs.

Turns out "The Octobers" aren't just for K-12. Brought to you bright and early by fear, sporadic hope and the letter F. #doctorschool #pandelectionyear

i'm most anxious about the weight of genuinely contributing to the field and being useful to anyone's practice or understandings. Or underacknowledging the research that informs mine. Also, communicating succinctly has been a goal of mine for all time, so there's that. #MSUTE901

@Graced2Teach @GSUEdLead R6: I completely agree with levels of accountability. The dangerous decisions are those made alone. #GSUEdLead

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@GSUEdLead A6: Remember to involve multiple stakeholders in major decisions. Keep an experienced mentor as a thought partner. Always have crucial conversations and "mineral rights" conversations. The ethics that guide decisions should be that of the school vision, not leader. #GSUEdLead

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@GSUEdLead A5: Giving school site administration autonomy is useful, but needs some kind of check or balance built in so that schools are aligned in their offerings, even when they differ in their methods. Problems arise when autonomy becomes anarchy. #GSUEdLead

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@Erik07769328 @GSUEdLead R5: That is what's missing - a process by which the site-based decision is evaluated and approved. That decreases the potential for loose and too-varied interpretations of policy. #GSUEdLead

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@Erik07769328 @GSUEdLead R4: Right, this is only a start. Even a board/committee (of volunteers?) is not the policymaking body, so can't really be a policy-changing body. #GSUEdLead

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@GSUEdLead A4: I don't think the composition of the decision-makers changes the legitimacy of the decision. Taking it to the board that made the original policy may have helped, but it is still denying access, and there is not an accurate way to represent every student affected. #GSUEdLead

[c. moore @see_moore12]

@kbrezicha @Mr_Glick_ @GSUEdLead R3: I agree about avoiding the issue. They can't solve a problem by creating another, and then neither the honors students nor the marginalized students are being given the access intended by the board policy of offering honors courses. #GSUEdLead
