Does anyone remember that one crack post about the guy who ran for president, accidentally got elected and then tried to get impeached by like making Doritos illegal?

Yeah…

Cat.

This is why it’s so hard.

To every day: pull myself out of bed and go to school. To

To every year: go through finals season

Every single class I don’t care about, every single heartbreaking day I am forced to live through science classes I’ll never use, every single math class that could’ve been a half year, but is instead 3.

I have failing grades in all my classes because I can’t suffer through getting good grades in 2.

And if I fail 2 classes I’ve failed all of school, so why bother?

A Twitter Thread from David Bowles:

[Text transcript at the end of the screenshots]

I'll let you in on a secret. I have a doctorate in education, but the field’s basically just a 100 years old. We don’t really know what we’re doing. Our scholarly understanding of how learning happens is like astronomy 2000 years ago.

Most classroom practice is astrology.

Before the late 19th century, no human society had ever attempted to formally educate the entire populace. It was either aristocracy, meritocracy, or a blend. And always male.

We’re still smack-dab in the middle of the largest experiment on children ever done.

Most teachers perpetuate the “banking” model (Freire) used on them by their teachers, who likewise inherited it from theirs, etc.

Thus the elite “Lyceum” style of instruction continues even though it’s ineffectual with most kids.

What’s worse, the key strategies we’ve discovered, driven by cognitive science & child psychology, are quite regularly dismissed by pencil-pushing, test-driven administrators. Much like Trump ignores science, the majority of principals & superintendents I’ve known flout research.

Some definitions:

Banking model --> kids are like piggy banks: empty till you fill them with knowledge that you're the expert in.

Lyceum --> originally Aristotle's school, where the sons of land-owning citizens learned through lectures and research.

Things we (scholars) DO know:

-Homework doesn't really help, especially younger kids.

-Students don't learn a thing from testing. Most teachers don't either (it's supposed to help them tweak instruction, but that rarely happens).

-Spending too much time on weak subjects HURTS.

Do you want kids to learn? Here's something we've discovered: kids learn things that matter to them, either because the knowledge and skills are "cool," or because .... they give the kids tools to liberate themselves and their communities.

Maintaining the status quo? Nope.

Kids are acutely aware of injustice and by nature rebellious against the systems of authority that keep autonomy away from them.

If you're perpetuating those systems, teachers, you've already freaking lost.

They won't be learning much from you. Except what not to become. Sure, you can wear them down. That's what happened to most of you, isn't it? You saw the hideous flaw in the world and wanted to heal it. But year after numbing year, they made you learn their dogma by rote.

And now many of you are breaking the souls of children, too.

For what?

It's all smoke and mirrors. All the carefully crafted objectives, units and exams.

WE. DON'T. KNOW. HOW. PEOPLE. LEARN.

We barely understand the physical mechanisms behind MEMORY. But we DO know kids aren't empty piggy banks. They are BRIMMING with thought.

The last and most disgusting reality? The thing I hear in classroom after freaking classroom?

Education is all about capitalism.

"You need to learn these skills to get a good job." To be a good laborer. To help the wealthy generate more wealth, while you get scraps.

THAT is why modern education is a failure.

Its basic premise is monstrous.

"Why should I learn to read, Dr. Bowles?"

Because reading is magical. It makes life worth living. And being able to read, you can decode the strategies of your oppressors & stop them w/ their own words.

Y’all help, I’m trying out for our schools musical (hadestown) and I’m hoping for Persephone but I have no clue what to sing for auditions

Like I’m not allowed to do something from the musical but I don’t know what else to do, and my friend was like: do something from ✨a✨ musical, and that’s so fucking unhelpful because I can’t think of any songs from other musicals that give Persephone vibes

I think they both would have appreciated kissing. I think they were both excited to see where their characters went and see the development of season 2.

I think that above all that we were deprived with no season 2, the actors and characters were deprived more. This isn’t Lockwood & Co. we weren’t left on a cliffhanger. This was a beautiful show with a good ending, and strings for a posible season 2. But the characters had so much room to grow! I wanted to see Charles get over all that internalized homophobia that a young boy from the 90s probably had. I wanted to see the Cat King making friends. I wanted to see Crystal find all her memories and making amends for how horrible she used to be. These characters had room to grow and the actors were so obviously hoping to get the chance to grow with them.

Rip Jayden Revri, you would’ve loved getting to kiss George Rexstrew on the mouth in season 2

Rip Yuyu Kitamura, you would’ve loved bringing Niko back in the most unhinged, unexpected way in season 2

Rip Kassius Nelson, you would’ve loved Crystals ark of learning to love herself after finding out that she used to suck in season 2

rip jayden revri you would have loved getting to kiss george rexstrew on the mouth in dbda s2

I had a vision

Also bonus:

Working with modeling clay is the best because everything I do looks like shit and it’s the most fun I’ve had in months.

Yes they look like they’ll eat you in your sleep but look at them!!!

Nothing on this earth makes me happier

Someone draw this please

Niko: *filming*

Edwin: (reading from a piece of paper) My name’s Edwin Payne. I’m your favourite ghost’s favourite ghost. I’m your dream boy’s dream boy. And I’m going to serve exactly what you are. Cunt

I’m so upset rn, and making memes is better than crying

Just a reminder that 'Request a Title On Netflix' still exists.....so maybe go ask for Dead Boy Detectives season 2 three times https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest

(I don't tend to ask people to reblog things, but please reblog this instead of liking it. please SPREAD this knowledge. we want them to be bombarded by requests, and that only happens if people know this link exists. It worked for the Sense8 finale, we need it to work now)

I’m gonna start a riot

They’re killing interest in tv shows!

Variety

‘Dead Boy Detectives’ Canceled After One Season at Netflix (EXCLUSIVE)

"Dead Boy Detectives" will not be returning for a second season at Netflix

So netflix seems hell bent on shooting themselves in the foot. First homophobic Dorian grey and now they cancel the gay ghosts??

Well gut my heart why don’t you?

Lockwood would die to protect Lucy, but she would never see him again if it meant that nothing would happen to him

Tim, over tired: our bones are wet

Bruce, terrified: Why would you say that?

Tim, staring into the void: because they go slush slush—

Bruce: TIM STOP

I like how from the outside, Charles and Edwin are unambiguously equal partners in the Agency, but if you dig into their psyches pretty much at all, you realize that there's a distinct possibility Charles thinks of himself as the Watson to Edwin's Holmes, the friend and follower of the brilliant detective, the guy who brings along a handy weapon - and meanwhile Edwin thinks of himself as the Merlin to Charles's Arthur, advisor and magician of the bravest and noblest of heroes.
