You Are Practicing Your Politics in Your Classroom Every Day, by @ddmeyer open.substack.com/pub/danmeyer/p…
If you attended a predominantly Black kindergarten, middle school, or high school in the early 1990s, there is a large chance that your class sang “Tomorrow” at graduation. The nostalgia. 🥹 There is very little in American music that has been untouched by Quincy Jones. RIP. 💔

If we spent as much time on recess as we do on standardized testing, our students would be much more prepared for the real world.
Your typical curriculum presents maths as a laundry list of skills. These are skills to be done one by one & ticked off when ‘completed’ (with little intention of revisiting what’s been done once). Yet, at the heart of maths lie connections. Read more- loom.ly/LjKqQQw
