I ignored this tea at the time. According to the article, the person in charge of developing the textbooks for the Mexican public school system was fired because he ignored Sheinbaum's instruction to include important Mexican women in the history textbook. As a side note, the books are "different" to what I got. You can read or download them for free at conaliteg's website

For the longest time, I tried to make myself fit into other people's ideas of who I was supposed to be.
Too queer.
Too soft.
Too political.
Too academic.
Too feminine.
Too masculine.
Too much.
Never quite enough.
The thing is... I don't exist to fit into anyone else's misconceptions of me.
I don't owe anyone a simpler story, a tidier label, or a version of myself that's easier to understand.
I only owe myself the freedom to be myself.
A teacher with ink on her fingers and too many books. A lover of languages, good coffee, cats, knee socks, and finding wonder in small things. Equal parts thoughtful, stubborn, and just a tiny bit cute (well, one can hope). 🌸
The right people won't ask me to become someone else.
They'll simply smile and say, "There you are."
And that, I think, is a rather beautiful way to exist.

We learned today via @FediTips that all of the Guppe groups are offline indefinitely. (More information at the link.) Our fingers are crossed for positive developments.
This means that at least for the moment the education community will no longer be able to reach subscribers in related groups.
But! There's also a possible alternative. More info below. 1/n

Hold on kids, Mrs R-- needs to have a rant about an article in The West...
... I believe they never should have abolished the Dip Ed in the first place. Reinstating it won't fix the teacher shortage, but it's a start.
The GradDipEd was a baptism of fire and the workload of cramming all your teaching study into a single postgrad year (while working your uni job) matched the workload you faced as a beginning teacher.
It was adequate preparation. The fact that I'm still in teaching, almost 20 years later, attests to this. And I'm offended by the implications in this article. If I'm good enough for one of Western Australia's most desirable public schools on a Dip Ed, there's surely nothing wrong with my training!

Anyone - especially a teacher - could GM a class to use #ttrpg for language learning.
A teacher would already know a) how to manage a classroom of students, b) what your course outcome should be. With RPGs, you should be able to do (a) by doing (b) using the RPG rules as a course framework.
All we need to do is to craft the framework based on what skills we want the students to develop.

Today is my last day of summer school. The next school year begins in about 3 weeks. Until then, I will be enjoying every minute of my much-needed break.
First day at new #daycare job. I got to have lunch with a bunch of 3-5 year olds and talk with them about feelings, our favorite colors, and why burgers are brown. Stg this is my favorite job ever.
Part of #learning is also unlearning.
Have a great Saturday, everyone 🍎.

Having to clean out the classroom for the end of summer break and heading into the new school year is definitely bittersweet. I truly didn't expect to enjoy working with the younger grades as much as I did (had a mixed 7/8/9 y/o overflow group) and it's really caused me to reconsider my approach to sticking with secondary school music classes!
I might be moving down to second or third grade next year...
