The solution is, at least partially, what we should have been doing all along: student-centered teaching instead of lectures, uncomfortable as it is for those like me who are control freaks. And the other is an emphasis on the performance: in-class writing and speaking. Very much worth reading.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced. We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

Este 15 de noviembre la Euskal Selekzioa jugará un partido en San Mamés contra la selección de Palestina en denuncia del genocidio de Israel. La selección vasca de fútbol ya fue símbolo de resistencia antifascista y jugó para recaudar fondos para la República. Así lo narró Eduardo Galeano.

Another major independent report led by experts confirms that Israel is perpetrating genocide. The Israeli government has denounced its authors as "Hamas proxies". The litany of crimes continues with impunity. Full sanctions and boycott are long overdue. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
