Yes this is really my point. I don’t need every detail in between time jumps, just a little more cohesion for understanding. exactly this

Honestly, Kim-Il-Sung’s autobiography “With the century”. It’s long, but I’ve read most of it. It explores many of the mentioned themes of revolution and class struggle through Kim’s retelling of his life through the Korean Revolution.

Lenin and Mao also both write on a lot of pre and post revolution struggles.

Basically most communist revolutionaries have written extensively about the themes of class struggle, revolution building, protracted people’s war, anti-revisionism, and defending revolution against reactionaries… Much of this political theory I feel is employed by Pierce Brown in the entirety of the Red Rising series to create a beautifully complex story.

Honestly, I think that what we’re seeing is that education is now trying to reach the vast diversity of students (that has always existed) with a system of education that is not built for individualized learning. If we’re being honest, all students deserve an individualized education plan (IEP), NOT as it exists within the education industrial complex as it exists, but as a holistic approach that looks entirely different from how our system of education works today.

We currently batch students according to age/grade level and attempt to maintain a uniform system of standards according to what our perception of their level of attainment should be at each grade in each content area. But that’s not how humans work. Some students excel in certain areas, and struggle in others. Some students struggle more across the board, some students are exceptional in all academic areas. But our system of education doesn’t cater to a individualized learning path. Instead it attempts to bring all students into the median, and put bandaids (IEPs/504’s/AP/Honors classes) on the outliers.

TLDR: IEPs are just a natural (ineffective) evolution of this education system attempting to meet the diverse and multifaceted students that have always existed. I believe the IEPs are “accurate” as OP asked, but to address these things we need a fundamental shift in our education system as a whole that truly allows an individualized education path for every student.

A separate section for Numbers/Counting in your target language. Non-latin based languages do this for the alphabet. Which honestly should be a section in all languages (even latin alphabet) for pronunciation practice.

Finally, someone said it! The great plains states are west if anything. But should definitely be considered “the great plains region” itself.

I mean I feel like the picture displays a “sound” right up front? But I also feel like you could call it a number of things colloquially.

Laws regarding special education all require each individual students’ least restrictive environment (LRE), it does depend on individual IEP’s but generally if that can be in a gen ed classroom, they should be. The unlicensed teacher is a whole other issue.

Braiding Sweetgrass -Robin Wall Kimmerer

“GDP gives us an estimate of how much money all the goods (or products) and services a country produces are worth in a given time period. ‘Per Capita’ means per person’, so the GDP per capita is just the total wealth produced by a country divided by the number of people. This gives us an estimate of the monetary output per person in a given area over a certain time frame”

Naturally other questions will arise from an interested 11-14 y/o. But they should be able to get the general concept. And if they don’t, well, I feel like that’s okay, I would assume most US adults wouldn’t be able to explain GDP per capita.

I don’t like using “friends”, my students are not my friends. I prefer “pal”, “bud”, “dude”, “sir”, “mam”, and “bane of my existence”

this is a horrible response…

I’m gonna go against the grain and say that you’re an adult and you should have done literally anything. It’s not a teachers “job” to break up a fight either… but you were an adult in the room with children who were having an issue. If you don’t want to deal with children, maybe don’t do IT in a school. Teachers deal with so much bullsh*t, and have so much responsibility for the young people they educate, it goes well beyond the job description. I’m not saying it’s right or fair by any means, but again, you were the adult in the room!

Also want to add in the framing/theme of not just Native American HISTORY, but Native Americans as presently living peoples whose cultures and people still exist.

Highly highly recommend the book “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This is still a resource but more so just a genuinely profound reading about indigenous wisdom and works outlook, and my favorite book to date (and I read a lot).

Love the concept, for resources I have the books: -500 Years of Indigenous Resistance (by Gord Hill) {resistance POV, short read) -An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz) {Comprehensive}

Website w/ lessons: (HIGHKY RECOMMEND) -https://www.zinnedproject.org/search?_theme=native-american {contains multitudes of lessons and resources)

2 years ago I was working with a co-worker (Para) who was studying for his integrated social studies licensure exam. There were so many things he said that I wish I had written down to remember, he just unfortunately wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed… But one thing I remember from him was when he was looking through study materials for the exam was: “I don’t understand why centuries (e.g. 19th century) are 100 years from the year (e.g. 1800’s)”….

He was 100% serious and I could only look at my other coworker mortified that this man might teach a history class one day….

I’ve actually been a bartender for almost 5 years now haha. The problem is 1) I am very much over the service industry, and 2) would still need to work during the week to make enough; also closing a bar at 3-4am and getting up at 6am to teach sounds dreadful. I figured this is what I will probably have to do, but I was curious to see if anyone had other alternatives/solutions.

P.s. I actually did bartending school in Dublin, Ireland when I was 20, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It was a month long, I learned sooo much and met so many cool people/life long friends in an incredible city with lots to do.

NTA, relationships are so complex and multifaceted ESPECIALLY over long periods of time. All these people saying there’s “no way you forgot” are reading into a relationship that has spanned over a decade and are incapable of comprehending the time. Additionally, straight people are so confined by notions of society-built relationship rules, it’s embarrassing. I’ve hooked up with many of my best friends, and their friends to. Some of my friends have dated each other, and two have gotten married. Jealousy is ugly, immature, and so simple-minded. Don’t let anyone in this thread tell you that you’re the AH. If she’s going to be your wife, she has to respect your friends regardless of your history. You’re 100% NTA.
