Our school is making an effort to teach antiracism and honoring diversity this year, which is problematic because it is soooo white. (I have one student who is half Hispanic. He is blonde and paler than me.) So today we were supposed to mix individual tempera paint cups to match our skin tones and paint handprints to make a banner for our classroom. We were diverse in our different shades of whiteness. Box ticked. I feel frustrated.More seriously, how white are we talking? Like panic if Freehold should walk down the road white or something else?
Freehold, it is impossible for me to answer this question without delving into flaming bike territory, and I would actually like to be more sensitive to the FaWtLites who would like us all to honor the prohibition against political chat, so I'm going to respond to you via a text instead.

How Not To Teach 101: Impus Minor just failed a group math test.
Why?
Because the teacher gives every group the lowest score of any individual in the group in the hopes that that will force them to work together. In reality, if one group member refuses to participate (as happened in Impus Minor's group), everybody fails.
And that is educational how?!?!?
Clearly it teaches the kids two important lesson. vengeance is a dish best served cold and how to kick another kids but. The lowest grade kid it also teaches to watch your back when you make stupid decisions.

Also, teaches you how to take the mean~! :V
I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or buy you a plushie.Hey now. If the violent creatures are cute enough that we could market plushies and exotic pets, they're heading straight into zoos.That sort of blatant colonialism does seem a bit tone deaf these days. But lets be realistic. What would happen if we discovered low intelligence violent animals on the moon or mars as we tried to build the first colonies there?
Genocide.
You can buy me a plushy!

Or it teaches them that even if they don't do any work, there will always be some motivated person who will pick up the slack.

yeah, if you click on the circle in the bottom-left corner next to your name, it'll pop up a "set status" menu. You can even type a custom status.

Life's taken some time off to beat me down rather thoroughly. Then again, my own failings contribute, but yeah, not doing too well right now, to be honest.

he missed his friend. I have had other pets die out of grief. Animals are just as social as we are and have the same emotions. I am sorry.

I think violence(or the threat of it) is what lead to the practice being dropped in my experience.
