A lovely read ahead of
#TheGradingConference
in a few weeks. I especially loved "a bunch of quantitative legalese masquerading as pedagogy" as a turn of phrase—perhaps because it so accurately describes where I, and probably many others, started.

Educational research funded by the NSF is a threat to authoritarianism and plutocracy. Our work details how to shift schools away from being sites of social reproduction to places of care, social mobility, critical citizenship, and liberation.

As a fun Friday math activity, we are doing some Alien math. Teacher friends, I offered this slide to generate some thinking with their first task of writing the first 100 numbers. Would you say the two sentences are correct?

My manifesto (er, article) is out in AERA Open today! It’s about how
#neoliberal

#racial
capitalist logic worms its way into far too many project-based learning experiences, and what
#educators
can do about it. Come for the righteous anger. Stay for the solutions!

It's a powerful piece that also ends by providing an example framework educators can use to resolve some of that tension, which I greatly appreciated.

The left has made space for anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists for too long. Anti-vax is fundamentally a stance against solidarity and collectivism. It is one of the most individualistic, nihilistic positions you can take. It’s not anti-pharma. It’s anti-human.
