"‘Kōkirihia – The plan for removing streaming from our schools’ gathers research and evidence about the effects of streaming on students.
The research evidence is unequivocal that fixed ability grouping in any form does not work for the vast majority... Here in Aotearoa, those most detrimentally affected are Māori and Pacific, as they are more likely to be incorrectly placed in lower ability groups and streams than Pākehā and Asian students."
A parent in Queensland, Australia who is suffering from long covid speaks out against schools' failure to notify families about positive cases in classrooms.
The parent, whose own son was hospitalized after catching covid in 2021, says he feels "somewhat discriminated against and deprived of the information that I need to make the best choice for my family."

Yes, kids can and do get long covid.
A 13-year-old in Chicago got infected three times, and now she "spends most of her days in bed, too exhausted to do any of the things she loved before. She has missed half of this school year because of long COVID, according to her mother, who says it can take hours just to focus enough to tackle her school work."
Walk out, sick out, strike, shut it down.

Illinois' public health department plans to distribute 60,000 HEPA filters to public schools.
"Improving classroom ventilation with air purifiers is a proven method we can use to reduce the transmission of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, the flu, and RSV, and, at the same time, reduce absences related to illness."
Still, that'll be enough to cover only about two-thirds of all schools in the state.

Here’s a new extra curricular club for Woke Florida kids. #CultureWars #woke #schools #education #politics
I'd love to have a discussion with other professionals about escalation/de-escalation when students break things or take apart a classroom. I'd like the discussion because I don't think there are any obvious answers and I'm curious to hear about what people are experiencing and thinking. The most important thing is to keep everyone safe. It's also important to maintain a safe learning environment. A learning environment won't feel safe to the students if it might be violently taken apart at any time. These are some things to consider. Obviously it's important to follow whatever policy is established by the school or district.
This would be a great panel discussion at a conference given both the relevance and difficulty of the topic.

The legacy of Bay Area high school teacher Henry Bens' #antisemitic lessons continues.
"It feels legitimate to them...because they learned it in school.”
Sophomore Myldret Vasquez "said students from Bens’ class were invited to participate in a restorative justice activity and that she joined the activity to offer some balance after she saw the participants were mostly defenders of Bens.
'They don’t understand how that text is antisemitic, Vasquez said. 'They said they read it, and they don’t understand there’s anything wrong with it.'"

https://www.byanyothernerd.com/2023/03/could-generative-ai-divide-be.html
I took a photo at work today, a photograph that could come from any school. It shows a stack of teaching aids. First, a backboard has been screwed to the wall. A smartboard has been screwed to the wall in front of the blackboard. Behind the camera is a ceiling-mounted projector, which was used with the smartboard, but no one ever learned to use the smartboard, so it has been repurposed as a normal whiteboard (which also looks as if it must be difficult to erase). Since the projector is there, off camera, a projector screen has been added above and in front of the smartboard/ whiteboard.
Of all these teaching aids, the one I find most useful is the blackboard. Illustrating what I am talking about, making lists and mind maps on the fly with ideas from the whole class, making up and revising groups in the class, leaving reminders and messages for later – these are all tasks most naturally accomplished with a stick of chalk in my fist, instead of having to rely on electrical couplings, booting-up times, program updates, Internet access, or even special marker pens. However, because of the susceptibility of decision-makers to “exciting new ideas” and marketing/ advertising, the blackboard is the only one of these teaching aids I now cannot use.

Sure there are ways to fix #grade obsession, but if #education continues to be #SurvivalOfTheFittest and not promoting equality through knowledge, changes like this wouldn't even put a dent to the problem. Still, it'd be good that more #feedback are provided to students through continuous formative assessments, but can it happen if teachers are already being stretched thin?
This is vital. Make them aware of what you think about education.

They go after the teachers next.
In #Georgia, a woman took an admin role at one school system to help with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program.
She got threats and stalking from a Facebook group accusing her of brainwashing kids with #CRT (CRT is never taught in k-12, btw) and had no institutional support.
So she left. But the group stalked her to the next town and got her forced out there, too. #education #politics https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-dei-crt-schools-parents
Outside groups, as well as some guy with a big Facebook following, were successful in driving up hate and anger over a trans kid existing (resulting in the child and their family leaving the state).
Then, outsiders moved into town so they could run for the board.
And every board member already there got investigated for any indication they were even remotely associated with Democratic beliefs.
Those who did, were threatened and SWAT’d until they left. #education #news #politics #texas

A short 🧵
One of the benefits of students learning to use computers in school as a tool instead of a reward or exception is that it prepares them for the workforce where digital skills are increasingly important.
When students view computer use as a normal part of their learning experience, it removes the stigma around using technology and helps to close the digital divide.
Florida Republicans are introducing legislation to ban young girls from even *discussing* their periods in school. There is no telling how much this ban will impact teen pregnancy and suicide rates. Dark times.
