#ungrading testimonial!
When I started #Ungrading 2.5 years ago, I knew it was going it was going to be a game changer for our classroom. What I didn't realize at the time was just how much it was going to humanize it too.

Yesterday, Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah turned 43 years old, marking his 11th birthday behind bars, away from his family and friends.

May it be the last one apart from his loved ones.

Thinking of him as he is held illegally in custody beyond the completion of his sentence.

I will mourn your dead

You ask us to mourn
Your dead
And I will
 
I will mourn
Your dead
 
But they are not
The only ones to grieve
Did you forget?
Or imagine that
You’re the only one
To suffer
Or that
Your sorrow is purer
Or juster?
 
Even so,
I will mourn
Your dead
As if they were mine
