Hmm mm. Let's use our critical thinking caps and surmise why he might not be able to play any shows actually in Palestine???
This is literally the lowest of low Zionist Propaganda
I mean it’s not like it’s my job or anything (and how embarrassing if I was supposed to teach this but didn’t get it all right)
Could you pass the US citizenship test? Apparently, I can but not that well. It's a random 20 questions from a larger pool. Some of them are hard. I'm not even sure which ones I got wrong.

I hate that good teachers like her leave the profession, but I understand why. My mother has shared similar stories with me from her time as an educator in California. This is really sad.

As I’ve said before, the simplest way to making teaching a more desirable job and improve schools would be to make teachers hourly employees like cops. All of a sudden, districts would drop unnecessary meetings and trainings in favor of teaching, planning, and grading.
I wonder what she could’ve provided if she had her daughter in a better school and then introduced programming to an underperforming school. I was looking for that type of engagement
so i read Nikole Hannah-Jones NYT piece on her daughter’s education
the short answer is she and her husband are bad parents
the long answer is that your child should never be a vessel for your own vanity or politics
the longer answer is that there is no greater condemnation of liberal politics & virtues than someone who sacrificed their child’s pedagogy and disastrously fail to prove “if i simply believe the ‘right’ things, society will fix itself”
probably the thing that makes me the maddest is how she tried to falsely equate the struggle for educational civil rights (where black children were rightfully trying to attention well-funded white schools that they were barred by law from attending until the SC & the US Army intervened) to her degenerate choice of purposefully sending her child to a poorly funded one just so she can score virtue points with the liberal literati
i could go on, but there’s no greater critique i could provide their her own daughter exposing her (& her father’s) sheer naked stupidity and narcissism

(Answer: Training the American police forces who were/are killing us.)

only one man was prosecuted for the massacre and rape of My Lai. He was ultimately commuted to three years house arrest. every single man involved in raping and killing got away with it. this isnt an isolated incident. the american army was raping, killing, looting constantly.
On March 16, 1968, US troops were raping and massacring Vietnamese civilians including children and babies at My Lai.
Then an American helicopter pilot named Hugh Thompson Jr. saw what was happening — and decided he could not stand by.
Thompson was flying a reconnaissance mission in an OH-23 Raven with his two crewmen, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn. Their job was to scout ahead of the ground troops and identify enemy positions.
But something was terribly wrong.
From the air, Thompson noticed bodies everywhere — women, children, infants and elderly people. There was virtually no return fire.
He marked wounded civilians with smoke so they could receive medical help.
But when he came back, he discovered that some of the people he had marked as wounded had been shot dead.
He watched a wounded Vietnamese woman lying on the ground. An American soldier approached her, prodded her with his foot — and shot her in the head.
Thompson was horrified.
He then saw a group of 12–15 Vietnamese women and children fleeing toward a bunker while American soldiers pursued them.
He landed his helicopter between the civilians and the soldiers.
Thompson confronted the Americans and ordered his crew to cover the civilians. He told his gunner, Lawrence Colburn, to train his M60 on the American troops and fire if they opened fire on the Vietnamese.
Think about that.
An American soldier had reached the point where he was willing to risk shooting fellow American soldiers to prevent them from committing more war crimes.
Thompson then helped get the civilians out of the bunker and called in other helicopters to evacuate them.
His crew helped rescue Vietnamese survivors and wounded children.
After returning to base, Thompson immediately reported what he had witnessed to his superiors.
Hugh and his men deserve to be remembered, not because they were American soldiers, but because they chose humanity when others had abandoned it.
While others were killing innocent people, these three Americans risked their lives to save them.
That is courage. That is humanity. This is Thompson Hugh Jr.
Someone brought up iReady and as someone who doesn’t teach ELA or Math… I don’t know if these kids understand what their score means. I’m not in those classrooms, I don’t know the conversations, I don’t have access to the scores but I feel like they’re just given a score

Teachers constantly working to “refocus” unruly students means teachers are never teaching. Americans, let this sink in.

the part where she's like "i went to my daughter's lunch and it was chaos, no one in control, i had to do it" i thought she'd go, so i reached out to other parents and used my time as a freelance to organize parent volunteers at lunch but instead she just sends an email

Let’s try ending poverty and seeing what impact that has on educational outcomes.

For everyone who has read the essay, this is an important receipt.
NHJ posted this tweet just two years ago. This would have been after her daughter challenged her about the school, after she realized her daughter's teachers were not actually grading any of her work.
Eight years ago today the @nytmag published my cover story on school segregation in the great “melting pot” of NYC and the way elite parents and politicians conspire with structural inequality to keep our schools separate and unequal. Eight years later, this sweet baby girl on the cover is getting ready to graduate 8th grade as a bright, empathetic, funny, honor roll student from @uaunison, a non-screened, neighborhood middle school. By test-score metrics many would label this school a failing school, but just as I write in the piece, we judge these schools AND their students without ever stepping foot inside. My daughter is not worth more than any other child. Eight years later, I still know we made the right choice. nytimes.com/2016/06/12/magaz…

The workload problem here she’s talking about is real
To try to balance it, I would do whole-class correction and then randomly collect and review homework/classwork once or twice a week, unannounced
