will never not be furious that my students’ learning and my work are measured by the results of meaningless, demoralizing standardized tests that could not possibly capture what is and is not happening in our schools.

happy 250th birthday, america. to get you in the spirit, we’ve recreated the conditions of the founding era.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

All this to fill private prison quotas in the contracts signed with those companies.

yikes.

My book is HERE! Preorders begin in February! Release date in March! Screaming crying throwing UP 😭

having the hardest school year i have had maybe ever? year 14 and it’s harder than year 1. 💔😭

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25

"At the end of the day, I believe my job is to teach skills around reading, writing, and critical thinking as a high school English teacher—not to offer shortcuts around them." Part of my reasoning about why I'm not proactively bringing AI tools into our classroom this year:

Have a least-favorite roommate. Admire the voluptuous nature of a cloud. Hunt down the nautical animal that took its appendage. buff.ly/h9Afiz1

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Real "imperial boomerang" here: abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

My wife, a historian, is seeking SPECIFIC examples of history being disappeared that may not have gotten much national attention. Plaques, parks, history books removed from schools or libraries. If it was a big national story, we know, thanks. What’s happening near you?

Research says: Don’t treat young children’s education as merely a precursor to “real” learning. Here’s why. 🧠🌟 #EarlyChildhoodEducation #PreK #kindergarten

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

you know you’re teaching gen z when your student call FANBOYS conjunctions FEMBOYS conjunctions by mistake. 😅 #EduSky #BlackEduSky

has your school or workplace made a statement reaffirming their commitment to DEI, trans/gnc folks etc? if so, i’d love to see it #EduSky #BlackEduSky

nothing has made me laugh harder this year than my 8th grade class’ reaction to the clip of Larry Wilmore calling Obama “my n***a.” (in a clip about the history of the n-word). they were so shook 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

anyone have good resources for students curious about LQBTQIA+ Muslim youth creating inclusive spaces and interpreting scripture/theology in queer-affirming ways? looking for sources for a student research project. #EduSky #BlackEduSky

School administrators: please observe your teachers! Tell them specific and key instructional practices they do well! Let them know that you see them professionally, and say more than just "You're great!"

me in my 8th grade US history class tomorrow

my internet glitched and i lost 10 narrative report card comments…i am taking deep breaths…then taking a nap before i rewrite them 😭 #EduSky

Zuck is not having a midlife crisis, he's pivoting to an open embrace of fascism. The aesthetics are secondary and primarily about his awareness of how many people can be deceived by even the worst attempts of oligarchs to pretend to be cool and normal.

Hello dear jones My work for 6 years and my dream of becoming a doctor is about to end because I cannot pay the university fees that have accumulated on me. Please help me save my future as a doctor 😭 Since the beginning of the war, my family has not been able to pay my fees. Please help me 😭

anyone else forced to attend a winter concert at school that means that on the last day before break, you’re at a compulsory school event past contract hours? why do schools do this to us?

another reputable international org joining in to say what we’ve all known for over a year now.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

I do not donate to my employer because we are already in a labor for compensation relationship. I'm very confused by these emails.

New analysis of jail admissions by @prisonpolicy.bsky.social shows that of those sent to jail, most are for public order, property, or drug charges — not “violent” charges. www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/11...

cannot wait to get my [students’] hands on the youth version of @kimkelly.bsky.social’s fight like hell!

ok, edu-friends. who has resources for teaching kids to recognize racist/misogynistic representations in memes and other online content? most of our “bias incidents” are related to online content that kids claim not to know is racist/homophobic/sexist etc. ideas? #EduSky #BlackEduSky #BlackSky

great headline, great piece! glad the judge called out the bigoted farce here.

People out here describing protected bike lanes and pedestrianization as massive social engineering project as if the automobile's takeover of American cities was a natural weather event

days of break to books finished ratio- 1:1 #BookSky

Also think it should be pointed out that 92 million is about a quarter of the population, for everyone insisting the economy is great

“i do not dream of labor.”

my peer schools are firing teachers for showing solidarity with Palestine and supporting student attempts to push back on the institutionalized Zionism in independent schools. this is not acceptable. #EduSky #BlackEduSky

Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

love finding my favorite authors here! @rfkuang.bsky.social wrote two of my favorite books that I read this year: yellowface and babel.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

what resources have helped your middle and high school students understand fatphobia/antifat bias/healthism? something focused on systemic issues more than personal body positivity? #edusky

students ran into my room screaming at the end of the day yesterday. i was confused until they dragged me outside to show me this rainbow. enjoyed standing in the middle school yard with the kids enjoying the view ❤️❤️

exactly this. Black educators have taught and Black students have learned under harsher conditions than these. now is a good time for us to look back at those models and others and talk about how to build alternative systems and structures. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

anyone else wondering what it means to be an educator as the empire dies? how do we prepare kids for an increasingly uncertain, chaotic future? how do we bring these discussions into our PD? #Edusky
