Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752–1840) divided the human species into five races in 1779, later founded on crania research (description of human skulls), and called them (1793/1795): the Caucasian race (Europe, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, North Africa and West Asia) I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS WAS A BAD MOVE IN SCIENCE TO STUDY HUMAN BEINGS AS A SPECIES AND A RACE!

Reposted from @reform_for_equity - These statistics clearly show that our country is investing money in oppression rather than advancement. Florida has the 3rd largest prison population in the United States and incarcerates more children in adult prison than any other state. #schoolsnotprisons #criminaljusticereform #floridaschools #justiceforall #socialjustice #educationreform #schoolreform #childrensrights https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmBxhLAvi0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i9g32rpdiydi

WHY SCHOOLS SHOULD ADAPT TO THE FUTURE OF TOMORROW

In the face of constant change, students will need to have different skills all the time. Education is the foundation on which a country is built.

It is through education that we help our children to reach their full potential, both as productive members of the economy and as responsible, principled citizens. But how can we build an education system that best develops the adults of tomorrow? It’s…

Stereotypes

In today’s society, woman are constantly thought of as weak and powerless while men are thought of as strong, aggressive, and emotionless. These stereotypes create deep rooted systemic issues in society, so in our utopia these stereotypes will be abolished. The solution will start early in the school system. Instead of or in addition to gym class every week, girls will be taught self defense. Likewise, boys will be taught mindfulness and mediation and how to express their emotions naturally. No longer will women be forced into a victim role and feel powerless against aggressors. No longer will men face emotionally turmoil because they have been taught to suppress feelings. Also, boys will be taught from an extremely young age the definition of consent, just how wrong sexual assault is, and the extreme punishments one faces for committing such a heinous crime. School curriculum will be infused with lessons on gender equality, and roundtable discussions on what they have learned.

Meanwhile... 012 As much as this episode is a commentary about conventional teaching methods, I think it also speaks to the deep affinity I have for fictional characters. There are times when I feel like they've spoken for me and I've spoken through them, be they characters of my own making or of others. Anyway, back to the narrative on teaching. I have a lot of issues with the standard approach that conventional teaching takes. These issues range from educator wages including those within early years as well as primary and secondary schooling, teacher to student ratios, the focus on "the whole" to the extent that "the self" gets lost in the haze, and many other areas that need more balance. In regards to the attitude towards teaching at present as I write this - during the COVID-19 pandemic - I'll say this, which I wrote in reply to a relative who feels likewise... During this pandemic, people have underestimated what a great opportunity this social shift has been to engage children in much more different approaches to teaching. It's the perfect opportunity for the children to focus more on family, connections, homelife, and share that with one another through their education - rather than making them reflect on learning a curriculum, let them reflect on themselves, and let them share what they're comfortable sharing with their peers and teachers. This opportunity, for children to be liberated from the structures and social moors that bind them, is a rare thing. These children have a wonderful chance of connecting with peers, teachers and even family in some cases, in a way that has meaning, individuality and sincerity. Adhere to some curriculum guides by all means, but don't pretend this is a normal scenario. Doing that is an enormous disservice to how openly, sincerely and honestly children view the world. We shouldn't be letting one of the greatest challenges faced in their lifetime - in our lifetime - be a lesson in maintaining the status-quo. All that teaches them is that their own journey, their own selves, their own uncertainties, are things that need to be uniformly shaped so that they can be stacked uniformly in order. Children could learn so much more from this if the perception of what "learning" is was shifted. And in regards to the very valid argument that schools are a safer place for some children than it is for them being at home, that in itself just shows another facet of our social standards that desperately need to be addressed and why maintaining or returning to the status-quo shouldn’t be the end goal - not now and not ever as long as any child is at risk. Education that includes growth that's emotional - not just academic - would be a lovely place to start. Because those children become adults. Teach them to be good ones, not just workers. -::-::-::- brettjcole.com instagram.com/brettjcole twitter.com/brettjcole facebook.com/brettjcole brettjcole.tumblr.com Merch Available at Redbubble bit.ly/BJC-Redbubble #brettjcole #meanwhileBJC #meanwhile #actuallyautistic #autisticart #autisticartist #autismacceptance #autism #drawing #illustrator #artistsoninstagram #cartoonist #art #writing #humor #satire #comics #students #educationreform #education #teaching #schoolreform

Pünktlich zum Schulanfang wurde eine neue Idee ventiliert: Achtklässler sollen künftig bei einem „Talente-Check“ einen „Parcours“ durchlaufen und anschließend eine „Potenzialanalyse“ erhalten - das Prädikat „Berlin Schoolreform Surviver“ dürften alle schon mal sicher haben.

Frage von Bernd Schlömer (FDP): „Wie bewertet der Senat die Kritik von anderen Bundesbehörden oder Landesbehörden, die die schleppende Digitalisierung in der Berliner Verwaltung bemängeln?“ Antwort von Staatssekretär Christian Gaebler: „Eine entsprechende Kritik von Bundes- und/oder Landesbehörden ist dem Senat nicht bekannt.“ - Da ist wohl die Rohrpost nicht ganz dicht. Nachdem das Riesenwahlplakat von CDU-Kandidat Thomas Heilmann am Steglitzer Kreisel wegen des Verdachts der verdeckten Parteienfinanzierung ebenso großen Ärger ausgelöst hat, bot der Eigentümer jetzt auch SPD, Grünen und FDP an, sich dort aufzuhängen - alle drei verzichten.

Wir warten weiter und kommen zu einem Notstandsbericht aus unserer Philharmonie - Christine D. Sauer beschreibt ihre wiederholten Versuche, innerhalb der Pausenzeit die Damentoilette aufzusuchen: „In einer sich extrem langsam bewegenden Menschenmasse bewege ich mich nach unten. Da sehe ich: Eine Warteschlange windet sich kurvenreich bis in Foyer. Die Herrentoilette ist dagegen kaum frequentiert. Ich stehe etwa sieben Minuten, noch nicht mal der Eingangsbereich ist in Sicht, da ertönt schon der Gong - keine Chance.“ Fazit: „Die Philharmonie braucht ein funktionierendes Toilettenkonzept. Und zwar sofort.“ Tja, dort, wo Unisex-Klos mal sinnvoll wären, gibt’s natürlich keine. Berlins finanzielle Lage wird immer melodramatischer, denn jetzt ist noch viel mehr Geld da, als die Verwaltung schon bisher nicht auszugeben vermochte. Laut neuer Prognose der Finanzver-waltung schließt Berlin das laufende Haushaltsjahr mit einem Plus von 716 Millionen Euro ab. Die Mehreinnahmen resultieren z.B. aus zusätzlichen Gewinnen der Wasserbetriebe (Rohstoff wurde im Sommer ja reichlich geliefert), höherer Einnahmen für die Sondernutzung öffentlicher Straßen sowie überplanmäßigen Buß- und Strafgeldern plus Gerichtskosten.

Gegner des neuen Intendanten der Volksbühne Berlin, Chris Dercon, dürften sich von seinem Auftakt am Sonntag bestätigt sehen: Fünfzehntausend Besucher, zweihundert Tanzprofis, ein französischer Starchoreograf, zehn Stunden Programm auf dem Vorfeld des Tempelhofer Flughafens. Einen deutlicheren Bruch mit der Tradition des historischen Hauses hätten sich selbst Satiriker nicht ausdenken können. Nun haben einige Berliner Dercon Vorwürfe, Hass und letzthin buchstäblich Fäkalien vor die Türe gekippt, bevor die Spielzeit überhaupt angefangen hatte. Das riecht nach Ideologie und Verweigerung. Das Theaterpublikum ist allerdings offener und geduldiger als die Theaterwelt selbst. In der Kulturpolitik sollte deswegen gelten, was in der Politik schon immer galt. Bevor ein Urteil gefällt wird, kann sich der Neue erst einmal beweisen. Schaut man sich die Entwicklung so einiger Theater nach ähnlich umkämpften Machtwechseln an, könnte man die Karenzzeit auf drei Spielzeiten anlegen. Auf die erste der Empörung folgt meist eine zweite der Einbrüche, weil Teile des Stammpublikums abwandern. Im dritten Semester normalisieren sich die Verhältnisse dann oft. Aber das sollen sie ja gerade nicht. Das wollen weder Dercon mit seiner Aufbruchstimmung noch seine Gegner mit ihrem Beharrungswillen. Also eben das Maß der Politik: 100 Tage. Am Sonntag war Tag eins.

Hier in der Hauptstadt  wird an einem der umstrittensten, sicher aber teuersten Straßenprojekte der deutschen Geschichte gearbeitet. Für den nur 3,2 Kilometer langen 16. Bauabschnitt der Stadtautobahn (A100), der einmal vom bestehenden Autobahndreieck Neukölln bis zum Treptower Park führen soll, sind stolze 473 Millionen Euro veranschlagt. Jeder einzelne Meter Straße würde etwa 150.000 Euro kosten – ein bundesweit wohl einsamer Spitzenwert. Doch noch mehr als über die Kosten wird in Berlin bis heute über den Sinn der A100-Verlängerung gestritten. Während die Befürworter vor allem auf die dringend notwendige bessere Verkehrserschließung der östlichen Bezirke von Berlin verweisen, sehen Kritiker darin ein Festhalten an einer einseitig aufs Auto ausgerichteten Verkehrspolitik aus den 60er-Jahren. Damals wurde ein zweiter, innerer Autobahnring geplant, der wegen der Teilung nur im Westen der Stadt gebaut werden konnte. Eine Straßenführung in Tunnellage (etwa unter dem Bahnhof Ostkreuz hindurch) sehen die Planer auch teilweise für das nächste Teilstück der Stadtautobahn vor. Der 17. Abschnitt soll einmal vom Treptower Park bis hinauf zur Storkower Straße führen. Ob dieses Vorhaben jemals realisiert wird, steht derzeit in den Sternen. Das Projekt steht zwar im Verkehrswegeplan des Bundes (der Bedarf ist damit gesetzlich festgestellt), doch konkretes Baurecht besteht nicht. Die aktuelle rot-rot-grüne Senatskoalition hat beschlossen, keinerlei Planungsvorbe-reitungen für den 17. Bauabschnitt durchzuführen. Der Abschluss des 16. Bauabschnitts (angekündigt für 2022) soll so gestaltet werden, dass er kein Präjudiz für den Weiterbau der A100 darstellt, heißt es in der Koalitionsvereinbarung weiter. Die jüngste Kalkulation geht für den vier Kilometer langen 17. Abschnitt von 531 Millionen Euro Baukosten aus. Geht diese Rechnung auf, würde ein Meter Autobahn in Berlin dann für 130.000 Euro zu haben sein.

Great blog post by Smagorinsky about the myth of failing schools: "I find considerable evidence for this phenomenon in Arne Duncan and David Coleman’s educational world and their decision to barge ahead with Race to the Top and the Common Core State Standards, even though there is no evidence whatsoever to indicate a need for either, or the efficaciousness of either as planned and implemented. ... [T]hey are part of a great national chorus of people repeating over and over that schools are in crisis, teachers are terrible, public education doesn’t work, market-based thinking applies as well to schooling as it does to commerce, charter schools work by virtue of being charter schools, vouchers can enable private schools to admit unlimited numbers of students who don’t want to attend their neighborhood schools, educators know less about education than people who have never taught in schools, teachers are greedy and selfish, principals all know what’s best for teachers and students and so should have unlimited authority, and countless other canards whose verity follows from repetition rather than documentation."
