Boler-Pedagogy of Discomfort

It sounds great! Mostly I want to get away from reading on my regular phone and this seems like it will do that no problem for a better price than the other options. Thank you for sharing.

What do you think? I was considering doing the same and getting it to use as an e-reader. But I’d love it if it had a pen too. :/

Laughing at the absurdity of it all…

If we threw the same amount of money at climate catastrophe that this unhinged iteration of Silicon Valley is at “AI” to force us all to use it, we could actually mitigate some of the damage and protect our ecosystems, but then how will 6 guys make all the money.

I would be thrilled to! Although I was just in TX for ASCD 👎🏻 and I’m not in a huge hurry to go back… But this is an important cause. You’ll have plenty to choose from but happy to discuss further.

This is an argument I've gotten into with other teachers and admin, and I don't understand how I'm always in the minority on this. If we don't believe there's value in what we're doing, how can we expect students to? They can tell when we're phoning it in or using AI and they tune out.

Same!

The choice for low quality education supports supremacy.

Paulo Freire's motto explains it:

"When education is not for freedom the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor".

As the attack moves from Columbia to Penn, on entirely different grounds -- no one will be protected unless we act together. Please consider signing if you are in higher ed.

Teachers could shut down quite a bit.

Nailed it!

The more you know….

More of this please!

I don’t think so. I’m sorry as I would love to be more helpful!

I second this!

Going tonight!

I am scared and concerned that we are stuck thinking that it can’t happen here. I know I need to learn more. What should I read first?

Emotional roller coaster. 🫤

We have to pay attention to this more!

Really enjoying the community over here. After this last week it was important to catch some commiseration, some positivity?’c & some thoughts on where we go from here!

Totally agreed. They are all humans and deserve the best.

Here I am visiting Costa Rica…much smaller for sure…but basically safe to drink the water wherever you go.

We have a similar situation. Diagnosed 3 weeks ago. It sucks when we really can’t fix things.

My classes start…checks notes…next week! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Appreciate that I was not alone in having a mess to clean up this morning! To be fair, I prolly ended up more awake than I would’ve with just drinking some coffee. 🙂

So true! My morning involved making coffee without the coffee pot in place as it was in the dishwasher. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Appreciate you sharing all the tidbits! I am truly fascinated. It is helping me clarify things I have been thinking about!
