Educators: Since 2020, a lot of us wake up on Monday morning with a sense of dread about going to school in a system that’s crushing our spirits. Let us consider that, for a lot of students, especially students from marginalized identities, this has always been the reality.
@heymrsbond How does the focus on marginalized identities help?
@heymrsbond Where does all that money go? Never trickles down.
@heymrsbond And, to support this, many of my marginalized students want to hang out after school AT school EVERY DAY. Many of my kids are "walkers" and the path from school to home & home to school isn't always safe. There's a reason some of them find comfort hanging out and not leaving.
@heymrsbond That’s exactly what I was thinking during our test security training session this afternoon. It was a video of someone reading a slide-deck… so insulting and patronizing. The kids feel the same way when we hog all the air.
