When this crisis ends, they should be given the voice on how to bring back democratic public schools and make them their own. Any revolution surrounding schools is theirs. Those who foisted unproven and […]

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona is calling on schools to stop using corporal punishment, citing the practice’s long-term effect on children’s physical & mental health, particularly for boys, students in special education programs, & Black students. https://www.edweek.org/leadership/education-secretary-calls-for-end-to-corporal-punishment/2023/03

If you're not paying attention to what's happening to public schools, and how they're being privatized, start here with @tultican. https://tultican.com/2023/03/23/the-oligarchs-education-propaganda-distributor/

Worrisome indeed. And read-alouds are not enough. How might we create opportunities for rich & varied experiences with texts from the start? How can we be sure that Ss are encouraged & not limited by instruction? https://twitter.com/NancyEBailey1/status/1640105213276180480

Science of Reading camp never discusses the importance of picture books. How much time do children get to explore them? How often are they read to for enjoyment? This is worrisome. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/03/26/the-science-of-reading-and-the-rejection-of-picture-books/

Unstructured play has been driven out of early childhood classrooms for years! Goals are to micromanage everything a child does. Few seem to connect play's importance to learning & mental health, or they don't care if schools fail. https://twitter.com/Cabal_Educator/status/1630938079170109440
