"A 13-Year-Old With Autism Got Arrested After His Backpack Sparked Fear. Only His Stuffed Bunny Was Inside."

https://www.propublica.org/article/tennessee-school-threats-arresting-kids-with-disabilities

"Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law. And they tried to push for a broader exception for kids with other kinds of disabilities. It didn’t work."

"This election was about identity after all—an American identity which has become more tolerant of authoritarianism and less committed to democracy over the past decade. As Trump’s opponents try to figure out why they were defeated and how they can resist him over the next four years, they need to confront the dark reality about who we have become as a nation."

"Americans didn’t elect Trump because they were offended by the Democrats—they elected Trump because they like him. They know everything they need to know about Trump. He has been broadcasting his cruelty, hatred, and self-obsession into every American home for nearly a decade."

"The old narratives about the Democrats’ contempt for the working class and their racially divisive politics don’t apply to this election. The argument that Americans are in so much economic pain that they had to vote for Trump doesn’t hold up: Unemployment is just over 4 percent, the stock market was hitting all-time highs before Trump won, and inflation has plummeted from a peak of over 9 percent to 2.4 percent."

"A cultural and political chasm has opened up between Americans who still care about the integrity of their democracy and those who do not. We have entered an age of political nihilism in which our traditional conceptions of ideological and identitarian conflict must be abandoned. This election was about the identity of the United States as a whole, and it didn’t tell an inspiring story."

People who are not rich must borrow to afford college. So, in the long run, they wind up paying *more* than rich people who pay out of pocket upfront. In this way, student debt operates as a 'poverty tax' — a form of punishment for being poor & wanting a higher education,

#Introduction post!

I am not a taboo is a new initiative, mainly focused on #LGBTQIA+ #ELT professionals and their allies, but LGBTQIA+ representation is important in any aspect of #education.

The website has a #Resources page with classroom materials, reference books and journal articles. There’s also a #blog with a small number of real-life stories - all of this is a work in progress.

It’s run by one person and is still very small and new!

England’s universities flex their muscles to hike fees, while students get a bum deal

The ‘business’ emphasis, nay obsession of English universities does us all harm. I write from Scotland (which has similar problems, albeit we are not charging home students an extortionate amount - ‘Labour - hold our beer’). But this effects us as well. Started by Blair, boosted by the Tories and emphasised by Starmer.

With Gaza’s Education System in Ruins, Parents Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

https://theintercept.com/2024/11/08/gaza-education-schools-children-palestine/

Children in Gaza have been without school for 13 months. Parents are looking to out-of-work teachers and volunteers to fill in the gaps.

Q. are private schools gaming the special needs provisions of exam boards to get their A-level students longer time to complete their exams?

Given the gap between the provision of extra time in the state sector & private sector, either students from wealthier families are more likely to have special education needs, or there is something fishy going on... I'm sure some students in private schools do need the extra time but not nearly half!!!

Something fishy, methinks!

#schools #education
Chart: More than 40% of private school pupils receive extra time in exams. Share of students with 25% extra time. 2018-19: non-selective secondary state school - 16%/provate schools - 26% 2021-22: 23%/35% 2022-23: 24.5%/29% 2023-24: 26%/42%

नई दिल्ली: दिल्ली के सरकारी स्कूलों के 30 बच्चे पढ़ाई करने फ्रांस गए, फ्रांसीसी दूतावास से हुआ था करार।

दिल्ली सरकार के स्कूली बच्चों ने एक नया इतिहास लिख दिया है। पूरे भारत में शायद पहली बार किसी सरकारी स्कूलों में 9वीं से 12वीं में पढ़ने वाले 30 बच्चे एक साथ फ्रेंच भाषा की पढ़ाई करने के लिए पेरिस भेजे गए हैं।

Mikey Erhardt (Disability Rights UK) on the Budget's extra funding for Special Educational Needs & Disabilities in schools

headline: its not enough to make up for historic underfunding which continues to limit the opportunities for children with disabilities.

'We all agree that our children are our future but the government seems resigned to the idea that Disabled children & young people are a burden rather than people with rights'!

"Pressed by Moms for Liberty, #Florida school district adds clothing to illustrations in classic children's #books"
https://popular.info/p/pressed-by-moms-for-liberty-florida

Apart from the #education & #censorship issues here, & the "liberty" of a minority to dictate what everyone else can see, there's a #copyright issue. But it seems that the school hand-drew clothing on the book pages (which is lawful under #FirstSale) & did not reprint copies with altered images (which would be infringement).

Anthropomorphic bear teacher with anthropomorphic dog, cat, and sheep students with skates on, tells octopus student that "Everyone gets TWO. I can't just do something DIFFERENT for ONE student", as the octopus student sadly clings to the 2 skates they can't use. Bottom line reads, "YES, YOU CAN".
