A Twitter Thread from David Bowles:
[Text transcript at the end of the screenshots]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.

Accidentally famous Steve
Ok, I’ve had this rattling around in my brain after reading some great fics! Sorry it’s a long one!
So here’s the scene: Eddie & Steve are dating, Corroded Coffin are still trying to make it big. They get an offer/decide to move to a bigger city/state and instead of breaking up, Steve goes with Eddie. The band are still not 100% on Steve but they are under the impression he’s loaded so hope they can use him to split the bills. Steve has actually been cut off but because he’s been budgeting (he’s a coupon king thanks to Mrs Henderson) for so long it seems he’s better off, not the CC boys or the Party really pay attention.
They all find a place together, it’s a squeeze but the band is determined to make it work. They all get part time jobs or have allowances from their families to try and concentrate and gig as much as possible. Steve actually gets a few jobs as the gigs are not paying well yet and the CC boys tend to splurge their money on luxuries - most of the household stuff falls on Steve, but he doesn’t mind as he wants to be a supportive boyfriend. Maybe the CC boys are a bit snide about Eddie’s house husband but Steve just wants to get along so he grins and bears it.
Eddie hates not seeing Steve as much due to their gig schedule but he promises himself he’ll make it up to Steve when they start making money.
Steve would be happy if they’d clean up after destroying the kitchen for post high munchies or just wipe their own piss off the toilet seat. These guys take living rock and roll a bit too seriously.
So Steve quickly ends up getting a full time job at a kids party place that doubles as a day care. And he loves it! He’s debating getting qualified for teaching, he’s that committed. The kids in the daycare love him, he actually decorates his & Eddies room with the artwork the kids gift him (Eddie secretly melts when he sees Steve hang a new piece).
The best part is song time, Steve actually has a nice voice and the kids love singing and interacting with him, he’s popular with the parents too! Onto the accidental fame…
So one of the parents mention Steve to a family member who’s in tv and is intrigued with this guy who their niece/nephew adores, so on their next visit comes to the daycare to surprise the kiddo. They’re early so they catch Steve playing with the kids, he’s picked up some of Eddie’s storytelling so they are laughing and running around on their quest! And the tv exec is inspired, they have a kids tv project in the works and auditions have been dreadful! Steve would be perfect as the host, so they approach him, convince him to audition.
Steve is nervous but Eddie is supportive but is focused on the band so he doesn’t really get what’s going on, just thinks it’s another job. Steve auditions and while the executive team were sceptical, the test screenings are a hit, the kids love him!
So filming starts, Steve is the host for a pre-school show (think Blue’s clues but more a bit more fantasy based which Steve finds hilarious for himself). There’s puppets, singing and it’s educational which Steve loves. He really cares about the show and gets involved with the writers who appreciate his dedication. He’s not home as much, so the chores pile up as the CC boys have gotten used to Steve picking up their slack so they start to grumble that Steve is getting lazy and obviously doesn’t care. Eddie is torn, he wants to support Steve in his new job but he has responsibilities here too! They are so close to getting their break, he can feel it. So he decides to confront Steve gently. Eddie points out that the groceries are not being stocked back up as quickly as usual, the house is a mess and they really can’t live like this, it’s throwing off their practice as they can’t find anything, so if Steve could just consider what’s more important they would all appreciate it. Steve stares at Eddie, thinks about the hell hole the CC boys leave the bathroom and nopes out. The tv show is tough but exciting and he really feels it could make a difference. He points out that all the band, including Eddie, barely contribute to the house funds, Steve is struggling with keeping up with the rent and bills. And he can’t afford to pay the food bill of five grown men especially if four of them eat like garbage disposal’s. This gets Eddie’s hackles up as excuse me King Steve that we can’t all live to your lofty expectations! And Steve is tired of grinning and bearing it, fed up with coming home to complaints and snide comments. So he fires back, points out that the rest of CC are firmly middle class, Gareth is still getting an allowance from his parents for gods sake!? Why can’t they pick up after themselves or go to the grocery store if they’re low on milk? When did he turn into their babysitter? They never invite to gigs anymore and when they did it was to work! So many nights covering their merchandise stall and breaking down their gear while the CC boys attempted to smooze, which really was them getting drunk and trying to get laid. Eddie is not prepared for this, Steve is meant to back down, the CC boys cannot see him getting berated, he’s the leader! So he tells Steve if this isn’t good enough for him then he knows where the door is, they don’t need him nagging them. Steve obviously still doesn’t know the struggle so he can go be a little prince somewhere else. And it hurts Steve that Eddie won’t talk it out or even consider a compromise but he’s tired, so fine. He packs a bag, calls a friend and he’s gone. Eddie and the band are shocked, since when did Steve have friends they haven’t met? But fine, no more nagging, the house can be party central! The next day Steve calls and asks if Eddie really wants him gone, are they broken up or can they talk? But after a night of Gareth shit talking Steve and residual anger from the fight, Eddie’s not interested in talking. Leaving after the fight obviously means Steve doesn’t care (not that Steve needed space and a break). So fine, Steve hurt that it’s just over like that but ok, let’s have a break, he’ll come pick up some stuff. The band demands Steve fully move out and Eddie agrees. Steve heart breaks a little more but fine, he’ll remove all trace of himself. Which backfires on the band as they come home to a nearly empty house! Steve has rented a van and his friends from the show and daycare came and cleared out everything Steve paid for. Rugs, half the lounge furniture and nearly all the kitchen supplies! Eddie runs into his room and all Steve’s clothes are gone, no more hair supplies. But what hurts the most? All the artwork Steve has collected from his kids have been removed from the walls. He stares at the blank spaces for a few hours until the band shout out to him in a panic. They found what they thought was a goodbye letter instead was instructions on all the services Steve had cancelled and how they’d need to set them up themselves!!
So they take a break, the band throw themselves into being party central but it quickly looses its sheen for Eddie. He misses Steve, he realises that outside the party that he and Steve no longer have mutual friends and the party (on order of Robin) keep details of Steve slim. Eddie’s friends ask where their roadie friend has gone and when did he stop introducing Steve as his boyfriend. The house continues to be a war zone of mess and Eddie faces the fact that maybe they are just not quite good enough to make it. The music scene is changing and the CC boys are resistant to change and he’s getting tired of fighting. So the band takes a hiatus, get more serious about jobs and start thinking of what to do next.
until around 3 months after Steve left, Eddie heard Jeff yelling at him to come watch the tv right goddamn now and how is it but Steve! His show got picked up and it’s become an overnight sensation, but the boys hadn’t caught it as they are usually at work when it airs. So there’s Steve, dressed up as a medieval worker, singing and dancing with puppet dragons and creatures and Eddie is hooked! How did he not pay more attention, this is amazing!
Thus begins Eddie’s epic quest to get Steve back and be the most supportive boyfriend ever! He moves out of the CC house, begs Robin for help and starts trying to show Steve he’s willing to change. Steve is wary at first but they take baby steps back together when Eddie makes it clear it’s Steve he misses and wants to support him.
And when Steve is touring a stage version of the show, Eddie is there helping him out - the music team even let him join in and he becomes part of the songwriters! Steve is overwhelmed by the success of the show, even his parents pop up to try and get in on the success, Eddie is there to give him the strength to keep his boundaries. Even with the Party who don’t always take no seriously.
And many years later when Steve eventually receives a lifetime achievement Emmy for his contributions to children’s television, Eddie is there, cheering the loudest for his husband.

Eddie was lowkey disgusted by how his uncle would talk about one of his neighbors. No, he doesn't think it's bad for old people to fall in love or have crushes. But it's weird to know these things about his own uncle. 
And it's also sad to watch, because it's been months of Stephanie this, Stephanie that, and nothing came of it, so he felt safe to assume the infatuation was one-sided. So when he tells his uncle he can't go feed her cats that week, he figures it's for the best. And not only because of Wayne's twisted ankle. To his surprise though, he doesn't seem fazed; he just waves his hand and says:
"Yeah, yeah, I know. No climbing the stairs with this thing." He pokes the cast with his crutch. "I've already volunteered you anyway."
Eddie raises his eyebrows because he surely misheard that.
"You did what now?"
"Told Stephanie I'll send you to feed her cats," Wayne says, confirming his fears.
"Why?! She has so many other neighbors!" Eddie points out, gesturing vigorously around the room, implying but meaning the flats surrounding them. 
Wayne clicks his tongue at him.
"Would you let in just any of your neighbors into your home? She already trusts me, and I'm vouching for you."
Eddie gapes at him, hating that he's making a valid point. Damned be his old man and his reasonable thinking. He crosses his arms because while it makes sense, it doesn't mean Eddie can't be angry about it. 
"When?"
"She's visiting her friend this weekend so she asked for Saturday evening and Sunday morning. And stay with them for a while if possible, so they don't go crazy. Ah, and the plant in the kitchen needs watering."
"Great," Eddie grits through his teeth. He's so delighted at the prospect of spending time with some old lady's cats. The whole place probably stinks of cat piss and he'll definitely kill the plant as soon as he touches it. (It was his only superpower, which is not what he aimed for when his five-year-old had been praying, thanks for nothing, Jesus.) He just hopes he won't have to meet her. Hearing some old hag complain about his clothes, hair, and general adolescence was the last thing he wanted on his weekend off. But, alas...
"She asked you to come over tomorrow so she can show you where everything is."
Eddie groans. 
------
It's a Friday afternoon, he's at his uncle's taking a break from college and work. He should be sharing a beer with the old man, complaining about the coursework, the professors, and other students, not picking him up from the hospital, and running errands while his foot is in a cast. And certainly not meeting up with old stinky spinsters. 
To add insult to injury, Miss Stephanie, (which, by the way, is such a typical old hag name) lives two floors higher and the elevator is perpetually broken. Not too high, but high enough for Eddie's anemic lungs to start collapsing. 
He stops around the corner to steady his breath, because regardless of his overall attitude, he didn't want to worsen the first impression. He already refused to 'dress like a decent man' and didn't want to wheeze into the lady's face on top of it. 
Once his lungs are functioning properly again, he walks into the hallway, looking for number 54 as Wayne instructed. He knocks on the door, hoping he didn't mess it up and is at the right place. What if it was 45?
It must have been because he was told Stephanie Harrington lives alone. 
"Uh, sorry, I must have—"
"Are you Eddie?" The woman who opened the door takes him in. At her feet, a tabby cat peers curiously at the new human.
"Uh, yeah? I'm looking for Miss Stephanie?" he offers awkwardly. Maybe that's the friend? Or a sister?
But the woman extends her hand and smiles brightly.
"That would be me, but please call me Steph. I wish I could drill that into Wayne's thick skull." She rolls her eyes fondly.
Her big, gorgeous eyes, framed by thick lashes. She's not an old hag, she could be in her forties at best. She's tall and curvy and her hair looks straight out of a shampoo commercial. She's gorgeous. Eddie shakes her hand in a daze.
"Hi," he croaks as he's ushered inside. 
"Come in, come in! I've heard so much about you, it's great to finally see you in person. I must say," she turns around and gives him a quick once-over. "Wayne's stories didn't do you justice."
Did she just check him out?
Eddie clears his throat, suddenly dry like his elbows during winter.
"Uh, same to you."
"Yeah?" She puts her hands on her hips, raising an eyebrow. "What does he say about me?"
"Good things only," Eddie assures her. 
"So you're saying I'm a bitch." She squints at him.
"No!" His eyes widen. "What?!" 
"Well, if he's saying only good things about me, and you say they don't describe me right..." 
Eddie gets the point she's making and quickly shakes his head.
"No, he just made you sound like a crazy old cat lady, and you're..." He waves his hand uselessly. "Not that."
She sighs softly, shoulders sagging a little. It would be easy to miss but Eddie's senses are heightened after his fuck up.
"I kinda am, though," she says with a shrug. 
Eddie feels the need to reassure her somehow.
"Well, you're not eighty and your place doesn't smell like cat litter, I think you're fine."
She barks a laugh, it's low and surprised and Eddie's cheeks are red because he's just digging further into the hole he's in, isn't he?
"Good to know the bar is so low."
Eddie groans, tired of doing damage control that's not controlling anything.
"I'm gonna shut up now."
"Please don't." Steph smiles wide and teasingly. "You're a funny one. Just like your uncle told me."
Eddie scoffs. He's going to have a word or two with the old man once he's back.
"Great, this is exactly the impression I was hoping to make."
At his words, the woman eyes him up and down again, and he can feel his cheeks heating up.
"Yeah? Not as the local punk satanist?" she teases, making Eddie bristle.
"Metalhead," he corrects instinctively and immediately winces.
"Ah, my bad. I'm not good at the subcultures thing." She smiles apologetically but it doesn't read well with how clearly amused she is. "Anyway, here's the plant I want you to water tomorrow evening. Just like, half a glass."
Right. Plants. Cats. He came here on a mission.
"Come on, I'll show you my cats."
There's only three of them and they come rushing from all corners of the flat at the rustle of a catnip bag. Eddie never saw high cats so he's glad to have this opportunity now. Stephanie points to the tabby he saw earlier.
"This is Dart, she's not actually mine, but my friend couldn't keep her at the dorms. This is Garfield," she points to the orange cat, making Eddie huff a laugh. She grins. "Yeah, don't tell anyone, but he's my favorite," she whispers, to which Eddie mimics zipping his mouth shut. 
Lastly, she points to the black cat rolling on the carpet. 
"And this is Arwen."
Eddie frowns.
"Like, The Lord of the Rings Arwen?"
"Yeah," Steph sighs. "Dustin named her. He's the friend I've mentioned. Dart is short for D'Artagnan and I've fought teeth and nail for Garfield not to be called Pippin."
"Pippin is a great name, though," Eddie points out.
"Maybe," she huffs, crossing her arms. "But I wanted one for myself, okay? Not everything has to be about Dustin."
"Is Dustin like, your brother or something?" 
"Kinda?" She frowns. "We're not actually related but I babysat him, and then we became friends. He just stuck around, somehow." The words sound angry but her face betrays the fondness she has for her friends. 
"That's nice," he offers. "I'm an only child, never met any cousins, and only ever had friends my age."
"Well, good for you. Maybe if I had friends my age I wouldn't be living alone with a bunch of cats."
Eddie frowns. 
"Hey, now..."
She cuts him off with a dismissive wave of her hand. 
"I'll show you where the food is." 
Eddie's in a daze when he comes back downstairs, only realizing his visit ended when he's standing in his uncle's living room. He's been gone for only half an hour but it feels longer. 
"How did it go?" his uncle asks, pulling him out of his reverie. 
Edie turns to him and blinks, fighting the cotton around his brain.
"Fine?" he offers. "She's not as old as I expected," he admits bluntly. His uncle snorts.
"What, just because she lives alone with her cats you assumed she's on her deathbed?"
Eddie winces. It's exactly what he did.
"Well, the people in her life weren't kind to her, so now she relies on her pets. Nothing wrong with that." Wayne shrugs. 
"What do you mean?" Eddie frowns, curious. Concerned. He goes to the kitchen, not wanting to seem too eager to get an answer, and grabs a beer for himself and his uncle. He opens the junk drawer to find an opener and hears his uncle answer from the adjacent living room space. 
"She doesn't say much about it and I never asked, but she's always alone on the holidays. Her friends visit a few days before or after."
Eddie walks back in and hands his uncle the opened bottle. 
"Thanks, son."
He nods and settles heavily in an armchair. Focusing his gaze on the label peeling off of his beer, he hums thoughtfully.
"No family?"
"Seems so." Wayne nods solemnly. "I think it was a conflict of lifestyle choices, but I'll be honest, I'm basing it off of rumors and my own assumptions." He scratches his cheek, frowning at the wall. "It's not my place to pry, though I offered to hear her out if she ever felt like needing an ear." He sighs. "I'm just trying to be a good neighbor. Invited her for dinner over Thanksgiving, when you couldn't come. I was surprised she's into basketball," he muses. 
Eddie was seeking answers and now was even more confused.
"You invited Miss Stephanie. For a dinner?" He raised his eyebrows. 
"Yes. She was alone, I was alone, figured I could at least ask. I'm still surprised she agreed. She declined all my other offers."
"Wow." A teasing smile creeps on his lips against his will. "You've been inviting a lot of women since I moved out?"
"Listen," Wayne takes on his stern voice and it takes all of Eddie's willpower not to cackle. He can see his uncle's mustache twitch. "Stephanie is a lovely lady, but she's way too young for an old man like me. And this old man is too old for romance anyway. Besides—" he cuts himself off like he realized he was saying too much. Which, of course, piques Eddie's curiosity. 
"Besides?"
Wayne shrugs.
"I don't think I'd ever be ready for someone like her."
Eddie makes a confused face. 
"The fuck does that mean?" he asks, irritated. 
"Rumors and speculations, son."

listen i love the idea of like. steddie having very small town middle america ideas about sex but trying Very Hard not to, but also they don't know how to learn about kink and gay sex and stuff so they end up just having to like. figure out kink through first principles
like. they know the mechanics of anal and they know that of the two of them steve likes bottoming more, but one day steve's like i wanna bottom but still like. be in charge. this may be impossible bc obviously The One Putting His Dick In Is The Dom but i wanna try
and eddie's like well clearly you can't bc that's Definitely Not How It Works (he's the authority on this bc he owns a porn magazine with leather clad men in it and it's the kinkiest thing either of them have ever seen) but sure we'll try. and that ends up with eddie handcuffed to the bed while steve rides him so hard he's crying
and afterwards they're like okay so that worked. but only bc i was handcuffed and physically on the bottom like you couldn't be In Charge if i was the one actually doing the fucking. and steve's like hm good point i'll meditate on this
and that ends up with them in missionary and steve essentially playing red-light-green-light with eddie desperately trying to get them both off before steve tells him to stop and stay still, delaying his orgasm by a solid hour until eddie's completely incoherent and trying so hard to be good
so yeah after that even when steve subs he's in charge of the Ideas Phase bc clearly he's a kink prodigy. absolutely tears them up that they can't inform the kids that No Steves A Genius Actually

the gross mischaracterisation of Steve Harrington's music taste is an unbearable crime goddamnit, this man has never even heard a pop song in his life! All the music he plays is either rock, punk or indie music, we see this at his party and so the music playing in his car
someone on reddit noticed Steve is also wearing an outfit identical to one Freddie Mercury wore the same year season 4 is set. In fact, Steve regularly dresses similarly to Freddie Mercury, the more I look the more I see there's definitely influences of Freddie's casual fashion (not his show looks) in Steve's style; some of them, like the yellow jumper look the redditor noticed, are almost like for like. Why is this unusual? Maybe because Queen had tanked in America at the time, America's radio stations found them insulting in fact, so it's a big deal that Steve had Queen playing in his car, it means it wasn't on the radio by chance... he owned a copy himself
I'll have to rewatch but I'm pretty sure the only times Steve has mainstream 80s disco, dance or synth pop anywhere near him it's either someone else's party he's a guest at, and therefore has no say in the music, or he's referencing it to make fun of it (ie Tammy Thompson, and even then it was still pop rock).
Steve is a rock and punk fan, by the looks of it mostly British bands too, I wouldn't be surprised if he knows The Clash just as well as Jonathan does and it's time people realize that and respect it
Stop making his Vecna songs disco, synth pop music and make it something he's actually shown to listen to

Steve, still on the basketball team looking at Billy after he pushed him: Carver, I need you to gather all your holy faith and pray for his downfall.

this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem
1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"
2. hitting the baby will still win you the game
