An old thread from @ashoncrawley that i wish i woulda read before.
I said i shoulda linked to this before bc it basically predicts the response i got to that admittedly spicy tweet — that i am talking trash bc i am not an educator or, as @ashoncrawley says, “some other individuated problem” that makes me just a hater or whatever.
But that WaPo essay in that link above is *much* more provocative and pointed than anything in my take, which was again about media credulousness and the starting assumptions about Black children and schools. And it’s written by an educator to boot.

You should read it.

...ain’t you TFA tho?
This convo we’re this am is abt the problematic positioning of education-as-silver-bullet, that sufficiently rigorous/no-excuses schools can offset systemic racism. The most vocal champions of that have been Teach For America and its alums, right? How does one square that circle?
There's a whole economy built around "whatever-it-takes" approaches to educating Black kids, and while the schools wildly differ in practice they often fall back on the same rhetoric and the same kind of too-credulous press to bat away real concerns abt how they treat students.

Co-signing @whstancil’s points...but this school also allegedly abused these kids, roughing them and making them kneel for hours “to teach them submission.”
it’s another example of how often the models at schools like this and “zero-tolerance” charters for Black kids really just look like formalized contempt.

People will countenance that abuse — actually praise it and call it *necessary* — if its targets are poor Black kids.
Also, those “Black kids got into elite colleges!” viral videos and news stories have always been icky for this and other reasons

They are far too credulous, whether we’re talking about this school or Urban Prep in Chicago or wherever else

This is our WAR CRY, we'll rise up
This is OUR TIME to rise up
RISE UP
I thought by now I would get it
His love for me is unmeasured
Still feel like I could do better
Was paralyzed by depression
But heaven and earth came together
And you came to my rescue
I use my voice as a weapon
On earth like it's in heaven
Yeah, I never handle things too well
But I was made to fly, not to fail
I don't need man's approval
When God sent me to bring heaven
Down for the kids going through hell

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. #Jesus Luke 10
Go your ways: I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Carry no purse, scrip, shoes: salute no man by the way.
Into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.

But you—come here, you children of a sorceress, Who are you mocking?At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?
You burn with lust among the oaks and under every spreading tree;
you sacrifice your children in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion; indeed, they are your lot. Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings and offered grain offerings. In view of all this, should I relent?
You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices. Behind your doors and your doorposts you have put your pagan symbols. Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...
