First Luoyang Spotlight since the reboot! I give a little tour of my workplace, Luoyang #2 Foreign Language Middle School, one of the best in the city. #Luoyang #education #school #middleschool #job #work

https://youtu.be/hEJiZlFJDp8

The front gate of Luoyang #2 Foreign Language Middle School lies ahead. On the left, in front of a dense cluster of small trees, is a sign with the school's name in English and Chinese. On the right is the school gate. Behind the gate, in the distance, is the school administration building, with the word "TEAMWORK" written vertically along four floors' worth of wall.

Someone I know who has been an excellent high school teacher for more than 20 years quit at the end of the day today because "he's tired of dealing with kids who don't care". The students who broke his spirit won't know what they lost for years to come. It's such a shame.

The reason there’s no pushback from the #GOP on #public #school #shooting is that they don’t believe in #PublicSchools.

Every time it happen the perception increases that public school is unsafe. It increases the likelihood that #parents will #homeschool. And the GOP is all about shifting the #burden of #education entirely on parents.

Each shooting is analogous to murdering #socialized education.

The kids are just collateral damage to their goal.

The so-called parents' rights movement has little to do with parenting or children.

' The reality of the “parents’ rights” movement is that it is meant to empower a conservative and reactionary minority of parents to dictate education and curriculums to the rest of the community. ... “Parents’ rights,” in other words, is when some parents have the right to dominate all the others.

Yet young people are not heard in decisions that directly affect their lives and health.

#Sensors in #Science + #Tinkering 4 #Teachers. My new portable, bluetoothed, gas sensor modules, bringing biology, climate change & Air Quality into under served #school systems. My recent work has been developing #experientiallearning for #environmental #Education in #macedonia supported by UNICEF. Can be popped in a plastic bag & used to track rates of #photosynthesis outside in-situ. With a change of sensors we have used these to monitor airborne particle loads, and noxious gases.

A small daisy plant is housed inside a clear vessel. suspended above the plant is a small red sensor module, drawing gases up across the sensor electronics. Beside the clear enclosure are two bright LED floodlights illuminating the plant.
A small palm sized red sensor module sits on a desk. The red plastic case is slightly rough indicating it has been 3d printed. Visible on its sides are 2 access ports for usb cables - for charging and connecting to a computer. Visible on the modules conical top is a small opening with a fan enclosed. This draws air into the unit and pushes it over the sensors.
A graph is displayed on a large android tablet. The information has been sent via bluetooth from the sensor module. The graph has three lines, Red, Magenta and dark Blue. The red line represents humidity, this line is very nearly straight and horizontal. The magenta line represents the air temperature in the enclosure, at the start of the line on the left it is flat, but at the time the lights were turned on it begins to rise. At the time the lights were turned off it begins to slowly fall back but does not return to its original level. The dark blue line represents carbon Dioxide levels. The live representing the CO2 levels also starts of level on the left hand side, and begins to fall, a little after the lights have been turned on. At the time the lights are turned off the CO2 levels begin to slowly rise. The screen also shows buttons to connect the APP to the sensor module, and to save the data as well as email the data for further analysis.

Q. what is driving the alarming surge in teenager suicide on both sides of the Atlantic?

Many suspect #socialmedia, while, others might argue that the stresses of secondary #education (esp. reforms since #Tories took over) are playing a role;

Whatever it is this shows how Anglo-Saxon societies are failing our young;

when life becomes so unbearable for the young that suicide looks like the plausible answer, we need to ask ourselves some very serous questions about how we organise society!

Chart: Rates of suicide among teenagers have climbed steeply since 2010 on both sides of the Atlantic; rates of death by suicide per 1mn people.

US. age 10-14:
Boys: rate stable around 20 until 2010 then rapidly rises to over 30
Girls: from around 8, to over 20 in same pattern.

England & Wales, age 15-19
Boys: oscillating around 40-5o until 2010, then rise to well over 60
Girls: stable at aound 15 until 2010, but now approaching 40

While the rightist (hello #MIchaelGove) #education commentariat focus on rote learning & facts as being central to educating the young, employers top three skills requirement (FT) looking forward 5 years are:

1. critical thinking & analysis;
2. problem solving;
3. self-management

All three are undermined by the right's position on what state education should look like.

So if (like Liz Truss) you're looking to find the anti-growth coalition, look no further than the right's edu-policy!
