149 years ago today, a man named Carter Godwin Woodson was born in New Canton, Virginia, to Anna Eliza Riddle Woodson and James Woodson, both former slaves.

“When you control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his actions.”
– The Mis-Education of the Negro, Carter G. Woodson, 1933

In the six years since the last Inquiry into the crisis in England’s special educational needs & disabilities (Send) reported its findings little has got better & in many ways things have worsened; so what is needed is clearly another(!) Inquiry.

There are some complex issues that may require further investigation, but the key problem is pretty easy to state:

SEND is underfunded!

Another Inquiry may help, but what's really needed is more (and stable) money!

European Universities started …
.. leaving X

#Universities in #Amsterdam, #Vienna, #Berlin, #Karlsruhe, #Aachen and other cities in Europe have left microblogging service X during the last week(s).

They justify this step with the systematic lack of moderation on the platform, which has resulted in a flood of hate speech, disinformation and cyberbullying.

Some of them have already started to run channels on Mastodon: @univienna, @tuberlin, @KIT_Karlsruhe, @UniOldenburg @unibremen, @freieuniversitaet, @UniUlm , @HTW_Berlin, @uni_paderborn.

X is not a suitable medium for communication in #research and #education. Help get the other #universities to follow suit and sign the petition

Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil describes his vision for the future of the Church in Iraq and how the Catholic University in Erbil will help ensure a continued Christian presence in the region.

In this podcast, he speak with John Pontifex of Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), a Pontifical Foundation of the Catholic Church, supporting Christians where they are persecuted, oppressed or in pastoral need.

"We never expected to work in such a school," said Ammar Risan, headmaster of the al-Musahama Model School, a modern school recently constructed by the Chinese firm Zhenhua Oil in eastern Baghdad.

As Xinhua reports, for students and teachers in the al-Kargholiyah district of Iraqi capital Baghdad, the dream of having a school with modern infrastructure had been out of reach.

Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told.

A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.

'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

A collage of seven charts critiquing socioeconomic trends tied to Ronald Reagan’s presidency, each marked with his face & arrows highlighting the 1980s: 

1. A chart shows rising income inequality from 1947 to 2017, with disparities widening in the early 1980s. 
2. A graph compares healthcare spending to life expectancy, with the U.S. diverging in 1985 due to high costs & limited gains. 
3. A chart shows the top marginal tax rate dropping sharply during Reagan’s presidency. 
4. A graph tracks federal debt as a percentage of GDP, which begins rising steeply in the 1980s. 
5. A chart highlights growing U.S. debt in the 1980s, both in 2014 dollars & as a percentage of GDP. 
6. A chart compares tuition, income, & minimum wage growth in Illinois since 1970, with tuition surging in the early 1980s. 
7. Two graphs on incarceration show prison populations rising sharply after Reagan’s 1980s "War on Drugs." 

Charts reveal long-term impacts of Reagan-era policies on inequality, debt, & incarceration.


“His plan is actually Project 2025 and during the election, he pretended he never heard of it, didn’t know who was behind it, and now its key figures have been hired for his new administration. So clearly Project 2025 reflects what he wants to do.” https://www.texasobserver.org/trump-public-education-diane-ravitch/

I love applied linguistics : how to identify messages and attitude embedded by stealth via language semiotics - word connotation, grammar, usage.
This should be taught in all schools at all levels.
It’s how we are manipulated.
#linguistics #language #education #schools
From a friend:
👇
George Lakoff in the ‘90s alerted me to Atlas (the Atlas Network) in his book ‘Don’t think of an elephant’. He is a linguist and focuses on the use of language to frame an issue. The wealthy right organise to influence language, coming up with phrases that have embedded themselves into our media, eg ‘tax burden’ (= ‘tax’) and ‘tax relief’ (= ‘tax cut’). The newest phrase I have detected is ‘household recession’ ie a per capita recession. The Oz today led with a claim we are having ‘the longest household recession in history’ under Labor, which is a lie as we had a per capita recession through most of the LNP’s incumbency - that’s why interest rates were near zero for so long. Angus ‘Great job’ Taylor has adopted the new phrase. We need to fight this language creep at every opportunity, everywhere.


Turn your eyes to the East this Advent! As The Church of the Nativity is one of the oldest working churches in existence today.

The first Church was built by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD, over the grotto where Mary gave birth to Jesus.

Constantine and his mother, Helena, built a magnificent and majestic church adorned with beautiful marble and mosaics.

This image shows an aerial view of a large, historical complex with rows of red-roofed brick buildings, the former Auschwitz I camp - today part of the Auschwitz Memorial. The buildings are arranged in a grid pattern, surrounded by trees, greenery, and perimeter fences. There is a road on one side of the complex, with a variety of buildings and infrastructure visible in the surrounding area. The image captures the stark layout and symmetry of the camp, juxtaposed against the natural landscape and modern town buildings in the distance, conveying both historical context and present-day surroundings.

This year marked the sixth in a row where the 1.5 million children in Lebanon faced significant disruptions to schooling as education has been hit especially hard amid several crises, including the recent fighting with Israel. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/12/02/world/society/generation-lebanon-education-crisis/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #education #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #lebanon #hezbollah #children


So questions for #Blind #Edgucaters, #teachers, #school staff and anyone in the #education field as a whole.

I am a university student who originally planned to double major in computer science and elementary education, but I’ve recently faced some concerns that I’d like to address.

I’ve been told that pursuing a teaching certification might not be advisable because schools may be reluctant to hire a teacher with low vision, who is mostly blind, to manage a classroom of thirty or more students. This has been quite upsetting.

My dream was to work with elementary students, focusing on #STEM subjects and teaching technology-related topics like understanding tech, its role in the world, and the basics of programming. Now, I find myself uncertain about what path to take.

Working with kids, especially those in elementary school, is my biggest passion, even more than tech or music. It’s something that would truly fulfill me. Since I can’t have kids myself, guiding and teaching young learners is the next best thing. It’s a career I’m committed to and want to excel in.

Being advised not to pursue a teaching certification and to focus solely on computer science has been quite discouraging. I’ve been told to study elementary education as a secondary focus and combine it with my computer science studies. This might involve developing educational systems for kids, but it would likely mean limited direct interaction, possibly just during product testing, which isn’t enough for me.

So, I have a few questions:

1. Are there any educators with #Blindness or #LowVision challenges working with elementary students? If so, in what capacity do you work with them?
2. How has your disability affected your effectiveness in the field?
3. What challenges did you face in getting certified and qualified, and how did you overcome them?
4. What obstacles have you encountered in the classroom and with colleagues, and how have you addressed them?

If these questions don’t apply, what advice can you offer me in pursuing my goal of working with children? While tech is a focus, I’m open to being flexible, as long as it’s an area I’m confident in.

Finally, if teaching isn’t possible for me, what other career paths would you suggest that align with my goals?

I’d really appreciate any support
and engagement in this discussion.

Boosts welcomed and appreciated.
