Today in Labor History October 2, 1968: The Tlatelolco Massacre occurred in Mexico City. 15,000 students were demonstrating at the Plaza of Three Cultures against the army’s occupation of the University. The army, with 5,000 soldiers and 200 tanks, ambushed the students, opened fire, and killed nearly 300. They also arrested thousands. This occurred ten days before the opening of the Olympics, the same Olympics where Tommy Smith and John Carlos raised their gloved-fists in a Black Power salute. The U.S. contributed to the massacre by providing the Mexican military with radios, weapons, ammunition and riot control training. Furthermore, the CIA provided the Mexican military with daily reports on student activities in the weeks leading up to the massacre.

Chilean film maker Alejandro Jodorosky portrayed the massacre in his film “The Holy Mountain” (1973). Chilean author Roberto Bolano referenced it in his 1999 novel, “The Savage Detectives.”

Really interesting report on the growing numbers of #students working part-time, and how that risks worsening inequalities. I had a student grant, and lived at home when a student in the 1980s. It would have been difficult to work part time as I also had to do extra work in #churches as part of my training. Apparently #UK #universities are now advertising part time jobs for their students- something I never came across until I heard about it in my final year in the US/...

The financial costs of #highereducation increasingly exact a #mentalhealth cost on #students...

It is a sobering comparison that rather than having three years of intellectual development & mental growth, #university students seem more likely to sink into #depression... no-one would expect university not to be challenging, but this should be empowering not debilitating....

There is something very wrong with how we treat university & we urgently need to fix it!

As #universities grapple with how do make policy on #artificialintelligence & assessment, its well to be clear about one thing:

USING #AI TO WRITE YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS CHEATING!

But, of course the reason is it tempting is about the pressure for #students balancing study & work & the instrumentalism of education to be just about its end (the certificate).

Markers will never catch all the uses of AI, but students should understand the only person they're cheating is their future selves' knowledge

Federal Scrutiny, Plunging Revenue Plague a Private College’s Attempt at a Turnaround

Amy Hwang (FT) sums up in a cartoon what I was already hearing from my #students some years ago... there is a great desire (not surprisingly) for meaningful secure work.... who'd have thought?

That they also need a good wage to survive in modern society, is not as the FT has it 'wishful thinking' but rather a not unreasonable hope for what has sometimes be referred to as 'good work'!

Cartoon. Two students sit on the floor next to the bed  & one says to the other: 'When I grow up, I'd like to do something that makes a lot of money, where I won't be replaced by a computer, and that brings profound meaning to my life'

Today in Labor History September 26, 2014: A mass kidnapping in Iguala, Mexico. 43 male students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College were abducted and disappeared, most likely by local police, federal police and Mexican Army, possibly in collusion with the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel, as well. However, The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights conducted a 6-month investigation and concluded that the government’s story that the drug cartel mistook them for a rival gang and then murdered them and dumped their bodies in a garbage dump was scientifically impossible. The students had been on their way to the annual commemoration of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, in Mexico City. The mass kidnapping caused continued international protests and social unrest, leading to the resignation of Guerrero Governor Ángel Aguirre Rivero. Iguala Mayor José Luis Abarca Velázquez was accused of masterminding the abduction, but was never put on trial. However, a month later, he was arrested for the murder of activist Arturo Hernández Cardona.

Székesfehérvár, 1957. A wonderful photo of high school students and their teacher. Their formal dress strongly suggests it was taken around at their graduation. Hungarian high students form a life-long bond during their high school years, largely because they stay in the same form class throughout their four years at high school.

I read this thread, this AM, about how the ARRL is bullying hams who produce and share learning content.

https://mastodon.radio/@abraxas3d/110996002665038354

In the thread, some people mention getting a thumb drive of learning content from their local club, and that got me thinking about what a great idea that is.

If I wanted to make such a thumb drive repo of learning content for new and future hams, what should I put on it?

I'll take everyone's recommendations and (1) make a thumb drive for my new club, and (2) post the list on a web page to get the ARRL grumpy.

I made a countdown timer web #app. It was popular among #workshop facilitators, #teachers and #students. Then I sold it and the buyer plastered it with ads, rendering it useless for many.

This was knawing at me for a while—I let passionate users down and it was out of my control.

A couple of months I used a completely different set of web frameworks and built a new timer. It took me only a fraction of the time and it's got more features. And #bananas!

Here's the result: Aftel

It's still rough, but I think it should be usable. And I will make sure it will only improve!

I just learned that in #Soviet times (& in many post-Soviet states today) September 1st was known as "knowledge day," & the first day of #school.

Kids coming to a school for the first time were congratulated. #Teachers were given flowers. It was a day to celebrate knowledge & a critical step in their life.

Below are two images of a teacher with flowers brought to her by #students in her classroom, September 1, 1958.
