The venn diagram of

people who say, “I didn’t know! How was I supposed to know that?” in response to being told something they said was racist or homophobic

and

people who actively believe that BIPOC and queer history should not be taught in schools because it is “anti patriotic” or “grooming”

is a circle.

They don’t care about being educated. They don’t care about learning what they should and shouldn’t say. They don’t care about history.

All they care about is that they get to keep using their ignorance as a “valid” excuse for their continued oppression or, at best, apathy.

hey tumblr, you'll be happy to see this

The CBSE Physical Education syllabus has this content. <3 it's not often I praise our education system, but I have respect for our syllabus for this. USA could never.

Pay special attention to the last paragraph. :)))

controversial opinion but I think literacy education teachers (in the US) should have more than a English degree. I think they need a heavy linguistic background as well, which some English degrees do not provide to an adequate degree, if at all.

this might be directed at a certain person who didn't know what a vowel chart was, but is in charge of teaching young children how to read. and got mad at me for trying to show her???

Friendly reminders for arguing and debating with others:

You cannot force someone to change their mind. What you can do is offer evidence and encourage them to do research. ONE DISCUSSION IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO CHANGE THEIR VIEWS.

Everything you say instantly becomes invalid if you start resorting to use of slurs and insults to talk to the person you’re debating with. It doesn’t matter if the information you’re sharing is factually correct, if you cannot express your views without being a bully then no one has to talk to you.

DO NOT TELL SOMEONE TO END THEIR LIFE. DO NOT THREATEN ANYONE. THAT SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER.

If you’re talking to a minor you need to understand that they are likely not going to have fully formed ideas, and they are more prone to consumption of misinformation than an older person is. If they are wrong, urge them to do more research and OFFER RESOURCES TO DO SAID RESEARCH.

ALSO CHECK YOUR OWN BIAS, AS WELL AS THE BIAS OF SOURCES YOU HAVE USED FOR RESEARCH. THERE IS BIAS EVERYWHERE. DO NOT CONSUME MEDIA FROM ONLY ONE VIEW POINT EITHER YOU NEED MULTIPLE (YES EVEN THE OPPOSING VIEW) TO HAVE A WELL ROUNDED APPROACH.

This is research 101. From someone who has done copious amounts of research and debate. You need to know both sides of the argument. You need to research the opposing side because you need to see the other bias and start to understand the other views. This helps you build a stronger base for your opinions because you can the find things that directly contradict or challenge opposing views. Most importantly recognize that you and your resources are not free of bias.

And don’t be a dick.

some of y'all think "Oh kids not being able to read/write in middle school" is a joke and. It's not. Half of these kids cannot read. These aren't kids with learning disabilities, or autism or anything of the sort. We are in 7th- nearly 8th -grade. One kid reads at a 3rd grade level. One reads at a 2nd. One kid writes it as '3th.' Yeah, some of us can- I myself read at a pretty little 11th grade level but that's besides the point -but no more than half of us. They are teaching 2nd grade lessons in 7th grade right now. They aren't teaching us how to write regularly- never have. I write

they teach us cursive instead. None of us can read it, none of us ever write it. If you plan on having kids, get their asses reading and writing REAL early because. this is sad.

Trump is making a college and never more have I wanted to be a monkey just to fling my own shit at something. Him. The college. I'm not sure what. A monkey never judges. Ookie ookie toss your dookie.

Religiously based schools (as in schools replacing primary education which are based in a religion) should not exist. They deny children religious autonomy, moral autonomy, and basic learning. Public schooling is absolutely not perfect, but religious schooling is unacceptable. Extracurricular religious learning is beyond the scope of the public; religious replacement for education is in the public’s interest to reject.

Navigating the Complexities of Today's Education System: Challenges and Opportunities

Introduction:

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the current system stands at a crossroads, facing both unprecedented challenges and promising opportunities. As societies progress and technologies advance, the demands placed on education have grown multifaceted, requiring adaptation and innovation to ensure that students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the modern world.

Challenges:

Equity and Access: Despite progress in education accessibility, disparities persist. Socioeconomic factors, geographical location, and systemic inequalities often hinder access to quality education for marginalized communities. Bridging this gap remains a significant challenge.

Standardized Testing: While standardized tests serve as a measure of academic achievement, they also come under scrutiny for their narrow focus and inability to capture the full spectrum of student abilities and potential. The pressure to perform well on these tests can also lead to stress and anxiety among students. 

Technology Integration: While technology holds immense potential to enhance learning experiences, its integration into the classroom comes with challenges. Ensuring equitable access to technology, training educators to effectively utilize digital tools, and addressing concerns regarding screen time are pressing issues.

Adapting Curriculum: The pace of change in the job market and society requires a curriculum that is flexible and responsive. However, curriculum development and revision processes often lag behind, resulting in outdated content that may not adequately prepare students for future challenges.

Opportunities:

Personalized Learning: Advances in technology enable personalized learning experiences tailored to individual student needs, preferences, and learning styles. Adaptive learning platforms and data analytics can help educators customize instruction, fostering greater engagement and academic success.

Project Based Learning: Moving away from traditional lecture-based instruction, project-based learning emphasizes hands-on, collaborative projects that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. This approach not only enhances academic outcomes but also prepares students for real-world challenges.

Global Collaboration: The interconnected nature of the world calls for educational experiences that transcend geographical boundaries. Collaborative projects with peers from diverse cultural backgrounds foster global competency, empathy, and understanding, preparing students to navigate an increasingly globalized society.

Emphasis on Soft Skills: In addition to academic knowledge, employers increasingly value soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and adaptability. Integrating opportunities for the development of these skills into the curriculum ensures that students are well-rounded and prepared for success in the workforce.

Conclusion:

Today's education system faces a myriad of challenges, from ensuring equitable access to education to adapting to rapid technological advancements. However, within these challenges lie opportunities for innovation and improvement. By embracing personalized learning, project-based approaches, global collaboration, and the cultivation of soft skills, educators can create a more inclusive, engaging, and effective educational experience for all students. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, the evolution of education remains essential to shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
