When @howardrgold1 keeps showing up but is unable to answer for
1. How he was attacked 2. Why I owe him the labor of critiquing the entire article instead of focusing on the harmful parts 3. Why he perpetuates the model minority myth for Asian students
1/
4. Why he doubts my lived experience so much that when I said this is my students response his claim is doubtful but he believes Pierre without even verifying his I spoke to ivies claim
2/
5. If he ever verified Pierre’s claim that he spoke to ivies and they rely on the test- did he follow up with those at the ivies to make sure this information is accurate 6. Why he spoke to counselors about their perceptions but didn’t ever follow up with admissions
3/
7. And a new one I will add- Why he didn’t find one Ivy League admissions officer to substantiate Pierre’s claim... weird
4/
It’s funny how much @howardrgold1 had to say until he was pressed... now silent
I attacked you but you can’t articulate how
You came to this conclusion after speaking to people like Pierre who said I spoke to Ivy admissions but never thought to follow up with Ivy admissions

When @TheAmandaGorman said she only kept the gold of what she wrote and it was through questions and reflection after Jan 6th that she came to the mother-load of gold during her @Oprah it shifted the way I decided lead as we create narratives for college essays
I truly believe a good essay is never for college admission but a reflection of who you are and where you are at in the moment. It can’t be for the purpose of admissions but for self. And with the Black girls in my group it is a way to process everything and come to acceptance
And when you hit the right words or language it feels like you have arrived to where you need to be. It’s not for college but for self and happens to be something you use for college
Not on the agenda tonight... hasn’t talked to other board members but Lateef has always thought he runs this board and doesn’t need any input from those WE ELECTED. insidenova.com/headlines/prin…
Conversation with @AnnaIvey "if it is safe to test, test. If not, don't lose sleep over it." 100% agree. Most of my students are playing sports and going to in-person events so I tell them you if you are already taking risks then if you feel like you want to test do 1 or 2
But if you don't want to add another risk or aren't taking risks, don't test. Testing does not really add that much value. Ask the colleges on your list "will I lose out on aid and scholarship opportunities if I don't submit a score"
Ask if any Presidential or big scholarship winners won without scores
if they have a number of applicants who were accepted without scores last semester
if you are not comfortable with testing but your college is limiting opportunities, ask them to reconsider their policies
After yet another incident with a rising education celeb, this time Emily Paschall, I realized it would be a mistake to just address this at a micro level...
The problematic educeleb that silences or ignores dissent is a macro issue

Which is why, I have decided to pull ALL the receipts and write a piece which has the current working title
Educelebrity and the culture of silence: why white educators and their institutions ignore and/or silence educators of color and their allies 2/
And when I mean I am pulling receipts I mean we are going full Bye Sisters/No More Lies/Breaking My Silence that will send your faves into a Shane Dawson spiral.
Shout out to my educators who know all that mess dram
I’m going to focus the early part of the week on affirming Black Educators but I AM COMING BACK TO @educationweek
more of Julie- this is the diversity @educationweek values. She has targeted this Black educator for MONTHS, told her followers to harass him and @educationweek gave her not one, not two, BUT THREE blogs
Black Lives Matter but Black educators can be HARASSED VIA EDUCATION WEEK
Hey @ADL can you explain to @educationweek why it’s inappropriate to spread and actually harmful to spread, publish, and promote conspiracy theory that Black Lives Matter promotes anti-semitism. Stop publishing lies that are designed to divide us
