"Nobody knows what the point of #homework is": BU Wheelock's Janine Bempechat quoted in @voxdotcom about the necessity of homework (or the lack thereof)

A well-balanced report on the value of homework. @BUWheelock
How much homework 📝 students should receive is highly debated among parents & educators. @BUWheelock's @jbempechat discusses the value of after 🏫 assignments, how they can help students with time management, & sharpen their study habits. @USNewsEducation spr.ly/6014Kcq9o
Excited to share our work! Please join us! @MargaritaJSilva @BUexperts @BUWheelock ; @BU_CPAHD; @BU_Tweets; @hgse_alumni; @McGillAlumni; @UCDavis; @UCDEducation; @NABEorg; @CABEBEBILINGUAL; @AERA_SIG_LATINX

"We said enough is enough—we need counternarratives to this national discourse [of anti-immigrant rhetoric] to understand the impact of this harmful rhetoric on students & teachers" - Dr. Janine Bempechat on the motivation behind her latest book. Q&A ➡️ spr.ly/6019J7HQ9

Proud to share this article w/ @drcdobbs where we used duoethnography to center WOC faculty and write a piece for ourselves, our WOC colleagues, the WOC whose shoulders we stand on, and the WOC who will come after us.

"Colleges are forcing students to decide to return with minimal information. Such a dynamic doesn’t create a real choice for students; it makes them an offer they can’t refuse."
Excellent op-ed by @andrewvlorenzen describing the challenges students face.

BU’s COVID testing plan, like the Maginot Line of 1930s France, is as impressive as it is fatally flawed. The new coronavirus will slip through these defenses like the Wehrmacht through the Ardennes, and the battle for face-to-face instruction will be lost before it even began.

For weeks, #BostonUniversity philosophy professor @dan_star has demanded more representation of faculty perspectives in BU Today.
Today, the university-operated publication posted a POV piece that Star wrote in opposition of BU's reopening plan.

Is it just me, or is the @BU_Tweets graph of tests a bit deceptive? You can't even tell where the positives are because they're stacked under such a dark color #BeBetterBU #AshamedToBU #StillAPandemic

COVID-19 outbreaks have already started on college campuses, but we only know that because of voluntary reporting and smart student journalists. No national COVID-19 reporting standards exist for colleges. We want @HHSgov and @CDCgov to fix that now. politico.com/news/2020/08/19…

"...colleges and universities have followed a poorly calibrated consumer-knows-best approach that has led them to make a serious mistake". From the opening of an excellent piece by @dan_star (aka @duecaution) in today's IHE👇. (@USSbriefs)
