There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

One of the most important pieces I've read this year. A lot of journalists tried to capture what it was like on the ground, as Chicagoans resisted an onslaught of federal agents attacking our neighbors, and @melissagiragrant.com pulled it off.

Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

It was amazing to write with @ehayot.bsky.social & each of us put our stank into every part of this essay.
I have no memory of how we drafted it in October, but when we came back to it a couple weeks ago, I felt this paragraph in my bones.

the edtech tools that are meant to guarantee “accessibility” overwhelmingly prioritize making class & student data accessible to themselves, which in the case of canvas & kkr in particular also means feeding thru a massive private equity conglomerate heavily invested in genocide
I wasn’t sure they were going to publish this. So good for them.
