Schools:
*Need to understand legal obligations
*Many schools and teachers believe - incorrectly – that they have to treat children according to that child's preference. This approach is NOT supported by the law.

*It can be lawful to refuse to use preferred pronouns. This is NOT discrimination. Particularly if unsupported by parents and medical advice. Not discrimination under Gender Recognition PC. This is social transition and serious intervention. #CassReview
So many professions direct their services at disabled populations. Education and healthcare are both glaring sectors where non-disabled people can receive absolutely no training from disabled voices, and interact with disabled people on a daily basis. 1/5
Why are disabled people paying for services where they'll be seen by wholly untrained "professionals?" People who do not understand or care to understand our needs/desires/goals, who put us into boxes based on capacity? 2/5
These people quite literally get to determine our access to services. Our access to medications, treatments, interventions, therapeutics. Our access to life. They determine our inclusion. And they act as barriers to save the government money. 3/5

Tulips stick up in everywhere, not just by the warm wall, & my pile if branches grows. Slow work, but at least the nearby flowerbeds are rinsed, ready for new soil
Right now it’s 69 days 16hrs 12 min until the summer solstice June 21

Even warmer today: 6pm it is +12° & the first drops of rain make me give up & go inside

This🧵is about a tricky problem in education
The problem: despite growing global wealth and technological progress, there are extremely poor parts of the world where most children grow up illiterate and innumerate
We have two new papers showing that this can be changed

The problem: most prior research finds that the best we could hope for from educational interventions in these places is small to medium learning gains
We show: with the right inputs, we can achieve much larger learning gains in these places than previously thought possible

"Israeli-Palestinian conflict"
"people are dying"
"complicated"
Is this what you think the #antiracist, #SocialJustice #EdTwitter community asked for?
You should do better, because you know better.
Name the injustices. Speak the truth. Do the work.
