@0riettaRose How exactly is it designed for economic utility? It's deliberately designed to dumb people down to break their spirits, make them emotionally and intellectually dependent on outside validation to make them compliant. If anything it perpetuates the cycle of poverty.

Unpopular opinion: The public school system is designed for economic utility rather than individual development or family strength, leading to a generational feedback loop where vital life skills are lost. 🕊️

@3dancingfeet Imagine sending this to the PKAs like Adam and others and just watch the meltdowns happen. 🫠🤭 If only the "Explicit instruction" crowd was ever able to accept the reality right in front of them. 🤷‍♂️

Children are powerful problem-solvers when we ‘allow’ this 💕🙏

@TTRadioOfficial This is what caring actually looks like. x.com/i/status/20488…

"Its the teachers who care the most, that break the most!" JP and the panel argue that wellbeing can be weaponised against those teachers, what do you think? 👇 #teaching #wellbeing #schools #workload #teacherlife #teachertok #teachersoftiktok

@TTRadioOfficial They don't care, they just care to play victims and pat themselves in the back, teachers only uphold an oppressive system thinking that they are supporting the children, when in reality they are just breaking the. If you really do care then apologise to the children.

@kelly_dodson @JennMGreenberg What would "getting in trouble" would accomplish exactly? If you force people to be in some place they don't want to be, systematically depriving them of their agency and autonomy, then it shouldn't be surprising when they act-out.

@JennMGreenberg Today the kids throw the eraser at the teacher's head and they don't get in trouble.

This meme was posted by the Texas Commissioner of Agriculture (not education, thank God). What struck me was the dozens of boomers in the replies sharing similar experiences. Their school teachers threw things at them, hit them with rulers or paddles, and one guy even described being whipped with a riding crop. Discipline is good and wise … but hitting or throwing objects at children for the purpose of injuring or scaring them is legally considered child abuse and assault. Just because something was common in “the good ol’ days” doesn’t make it right or even sane. If a teacher (or parent) chucked a “heavy wooden chalk eraser” at a child’s head today, and it was reported, they would be arrested for assaulting a student.

@educator4ever36 @joe4deadcat @mr_vossen @thalesnemo There should be an option for homeschoolers to only attend classes and extracurriculars that they want and then leave, schools will save a lot on costs.

Oh the IEPs I’ve seen. I lived when the 5th graders with their IEPs came up to my middle school with the most ridiculous accommodations. I’d call out my district special education supervisor and say “not going to happen in a middle school of 1600”. Things like escorts, excessive breaks from classes, insane things. I’d tell the supervisor how many more paras I’ll need to implement and as if by magic, the IEPs were update!

A few years ago while working as a dean at a middle school, a parent once told me not to say anything to her child. I remember telling her, “Well the best way to make sure that happens is to take him to another school because adults are going to correct students here.”

@educator4ever36 @joe4deadcat @mr_vossen @thalesnemo ...into the rigid system. It's great that homeschooling is ramping up, schools are going to close all around not too far in the future.

@educator4ever36 @joe4deadcat @mr_vossen @thalesnemo "Excessive" breaks? You do realize that in college you can take as many breaks as you want to, right? And colleges don't go on for 7 straight hours. School is a service provider but the most entitled one ever to exist, it should be far more flexible instead of making them lock..

@joe4deadcat @educator4ever36 @mr_vossen @thalesnemo If you don't know what that means then just say so; It's one thing to be dumbfounded but please don't be arrogant about your ignorance.

@educator4ever36 @mr_vossen @thalesnemo “Kinestetic learner”

@AriaBreve @CoachTee57 @mr_vossen No that would be "Whites are the superior race" or "Vaccine causes Autism".

@CoachTee57 @Rituraj062000 @mr_vossen apparently they do

@CoachTee57 @mr_vossen I understand that power imbalance is necessary for your power tripping fantasies, but that's is not in the interests of children who ate at the receiving end of it.

@malgorium @mr_vossen It's not too late to delete yours.

@Rituraj062000 @mr_vossen it's not too late to delete this braindead post.

@Elliott_Watts_ @mr_vossen Thanks for agreeing.

@Rituraj062000 @mr_vossen Yup, that’s the question you should focus on. 🙄

@Tonyd1940 @mr_vossen No, it was a very fair response.

@Rituraj062000 @mr_vossen That was stupid

@SaraJoh69652366 @mr_vossen If you want to work within a hierarchy you never asked for, that's up to you, however I believe in mutual respect, not childism, there shouldn't be a power imbalance between them. Adults and children very much can be peers, just look at Sudbury Valley school & Summerhill school.

@Rituraj062000 @mr_vossen Please don't act like children and adults are peers.

@csstone1161 @mr_vossen Do you have any actual arguments or just wanted to make a snarky remark?

@Rituraj062000 @mr_vossen you sound really ignorant right now. you spend a lot of time talking to your child's dean, don't you?

@TheMilieuFiles @mr_vossen Most of the time it's the teachers who escalate the situation, because they get offended when they see a child "talking back" to them. Students don’t struggle with feedback they struggle with coercion and not having any say in their lives whatsoever.

Sure, “correction” can absolutely be communicated respectfully, including toward adults, and that goes both ways. Teachers aren’t perfect, but many students also struggle with feedback, directives, and constructive criticism. A big part of the issue is that students are rarely taught how to appropriately challenge authority, address problems, or communicate their frustration without escalating the situation.

@greeborunner @warwickmansell @StuartLock That's because you don't have any, violation of human rights doesn't count as "solutions".

@warwickmansell @StuartLock There isn't any answer that will satisfy you on this.

These toileting policies seem similar in many secondary schools, and yet often controversial with parents. Fascinated as to where these policies originate. Are schools getting collective advice on it, copying/emulating others, or what?

@sec_sci_teacher @warwickmansell @StuartLock Things get very wrong because you restrict students basic needs and micromanage them throughout the day. It's enough to turn anyone insane. School is a very oppressive and abusive institution, it's the cause behind those problematic behaviors, but let's just ignore that.

@warwickmansell @StuartLock But you don’t listen to the answer. The answers given by many schl leaders over a number of years. Some schls, sometimes get things wrong. Teachers/leaders aren’t perfect. But it appears you repetitively feign ignorance on the issue so yes, it does seem like bad faith.

@StuartLock @warwickmansell You consider those ridiculous statements answers? It seems as if you guys have no experience outside of school system, you went to school then college and then back to school again. Leave teaching and see how the real world actually works.

@warwickmansell Probably worth you looking through the hundreds of answers you’ve had in the past rather than asking for them to be repeated.
