Teaching what has become one of my favorite lectures to teach on Urban Demography... every time I teach it, something hits me a little differently... moves me to stress something in class a little differently.
Hopefully my students are equally moved💯

It is really wild (and sad) how testing has drastically reduced the teaching of writing in schools.
Testing has done such damage to education… and for what? To what helpful end? What students benefitted from two decades of endless testing?

When you’re in someone else’s land, respect their customs and way of life.
For most people, it’s not that difficult.
It’s called: not being an asshole.

In all my years of teaching, I’ve NE-VER saw a student, Black or Latino bullied for being smart. ACTUALLY other kids respected them similar to they way folks did star athletes. Bottom line, our kids respect excellence no matter how it’s exemplified…that other 💩 is a myth💯

This thread shows that some people have NO earthly idea of what being poor is or what it feels like. Like NONE.
The other drawback is that few lawmakers have that point of reference either, all but assuring not much will ever change for folks at the economic margins.

But the “public good” was never understood to include our entire constituency to comprise “the public”.
As long as the “public good” embodied whiteness, things were all good. But as the public began to get more diverse post 1965, the critique around “big govt” emerges.
