@smerconish.bsky.social Free-Range Kids offers powerful reminders about trust, resilience, and independence AND it is rooted in a white suburban imagination of safety and freedom.

Want to know how it’s done in culturally responsive teaching? Lean into what kids love. A 1st grader got me hooked on K-Pop Demon Hunters. Wore the shirt to school—instant connection, big smiles, deep chats, even sing-alongs. That’s how it’s done. ✨done.🎶 done.

Standardized tests reward correctness over creativity But many real-world challenges demand innovative thinking, not just accurate answers So, let's use performance tasks that encourage creative solutions & novel approaches, even if they look different from student to student #EduSky #EduSkyChat

Skip “What did you do this summer?” It can highlight inequities. Instead, ask: “What are you bringing into this year?” or “What do you hope for this season?” #InclusiveBackToSchool

“When your students are introducing themselves, ask them to share one ‘boring’ fact about themselves. This takes the pressure off of trying to think of an interesting one.” —Phillip Done, Teacher #BackToSchool #EduSky

Saw on Turning Point USA- "These people with purple hair... in their parents' basement..." Me: Hi, Woman, home-owner, & certificated, highly qualified, educated professional here... Sir, your stereotype threat is showing, & our 5 year old kindergarten students know what bullying is. #DoBetter

If you're a senator and voted "YES" today you do not get to say a damn word about not liking the bill or anything else for that matter. You showed by your actions you don't give a damn about the U.S. or it's people.

Meet Robin “Red” Wood — a transmasc vigilante in 2025, living off-grid in a redwood forest. With his crew, he hacks drones, redistributes meds, and resists a surveillance state criminalizing queer lives. The legend of Robin Hood lives on — reimagined by yours truly. #TransFutures #SpecFic

Our kids are recreating ICE Raids and Protests in Roblox. Let that sit with you if you don't believe they're watching & learning even though some may label them as "disengaged."

Start small. Rethink one question, one expectation, one moment. That’s where disruption begins. #EduSky #EduSkyChat #EduSkyAU #CreativeDisruptionEdu

A few questions keep coming up when it comes to AI & this bill currently proposed in the U.S. I want to start by saying, gatekeeping isn't my jam, so this is not an anti-AI post, but a call to deepening our collective learning about this current reality. Questions in linked comments

BREAKING NEWS: President Trump formally asks Congress to take back the $1.1 billion it has set aside for all public broadcasters for the next two years.

Ts, how do you break the question-asking ice? 🧊 Here's how T Misty Vaughn does it: #EduSky

Indigenous women face disproportionate rates of violence, with many cases going unresolved. The red hand symbolizes the silenced voices of those lost and the urgent call for justice. 📌 Get Informed & Take Action.Every voice matters. Every woman matters. #MMIW #NoMoreStolenSisters #IndigenousRights

Attending an Open AI local K-12 conference next week. Generating a list of questions, but my lens is only one of many perspectives. Wondering what I might be missing. What would you ask? #edusky #AIEdu

The school-to-prison pipeline is fueled by policies like the Truth Twister’s executive order. Marginalized students, especially Black and Latino boys, deserve better. 1/2

How far back we going though cuz... #landback from colonizers is a thing for Indigenous folks.

Another way NOT to use AI for learning... Don't do this! Worksheets are regurgitation of the same status quo busy work that got us here in the first place. #edusky #AIEdu #AI

Patriarchy and misogyny today are like reheating leftovers, slapping on some truffle oil, and calling it a Michelin-starred meal. It’s the same old recipe, just dressed up to look progressive. But hey, a corndog in a smoker is still a corndog. Time to stop falling for the rebranding.
