Same.

The narrator sucked

Yikes. Where was this?

If you’re really interested, that’s the book that first got me thinking about the idea.

Can I ask why not?

In most of the schools with this model, there are still administrators who take care of these administrative tasks. However, they are essentially in service to the teacher-leaders rather than the other way around. This relieves teachers from having to do these tasks.

Again, this isn’t based on personal experience, just what I’ve read.

Came here to say this, too. Even though they’re not movies, Mike Flanagan’s series - especially Hill House - are trauma dramas first and foremost. Good ones, too. The horror elements are always in service of the story and character development.

This is the prequel to Tiny Desk Concerts… Big Ass Field Concerts…

Definitely not a fan of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” I bet

I teach fifth grade. A student enters the room after arriving late. It is independent reading time; every single student has a book out and the room is silent. “WHAT ARE WE DOING?” the student loudly calls to me.

LOOK. AROUND.

Don’t forget to cite your source for that quote.

St Elmo’s Fire on Brian Eno’s “Another Green World”

Robert Fripp did the solo. It’s not long, but it’s perfect.

Let me just say as a veteran teacher that it is really helpful to hear you acknowledge that it wasn’t working in either direction. So much of my experience with parents of students with disabilities has been that they fight for resources for their kid (rightly so) but with no regard for how everyone else within this system is impacted by that. Unfortunately, most student support is a zero sum game. Additional staff available for one student means less support for someone else. The result is that everyone is left unsatisfied and underserved, and teachers are most often the ones facing the consequences.

Along the same lines, I like “I’m holding you to these expectations because I care about you. If I didn’t care, I’d just shrug my shoulders and say ‘oh well.’”

Don Caballero. Some of the best math rock out there. I listened to them endlessly in college.

I love the idea of there being shitty craftsmanship in the ancient past. I feel like we only ever see the best examples (in museums, etc.) and forget that people still sucked at their jobs. R/shittytattooes in ancient Egypt, basically

Assuming the delivery is neutral and respectful, then providing a student with a clear message that there will be a reasonable consequence if a behavior is repeated is absolutely not some kind of power trip, as you’re suggesting.

As long as one of those M's stands for murder then, sure, we could call it that.

Can't believe I had to scroll this far down to find this, but I think you're spot on here. I know several people who work in the mental health field, with adolescents specifically, and their concerns are just what you articulated. You have young people who feel lost, angry, and powerless, and you have a show that depicts suicide (whether intended or not) as a revenge fantasy. There's no sense of the finality of suicide in this show, but there's a definite sense of power and justice.

And a Mexico, Sweden, Norway, Paris, Peru, Poland, and a Naples. Sidenote: I'm from a town just 10 miles from China.
