This is so real. Uni teaching programs and school districts also love to drill equity, but they fail to address how inequitable student teaching is. I'm down to my last 18 dollars, waking up at 5:30 to work, and by the time I finish house chores and classes, it's 9pm. I'm supposed to make time to
For us it’s that no one can afford to student teach. Why take out loans if you’re going to make Pennies anyways

A student expressed to me that they have been distancing from math because previous classes only taught them tricks and shortcuts... just so they could pass state standardized exams. Do math teachers feel like they are doing the students a favor by teaching this way??

🤔 Challenge for #iteachmath teachers this week. 🤔
Make sure when you choose your "fun activities" for the week, that they are ALL related to math. There are plenty of things out there. Maybe we can share some of our mathy games and activities for this week.

I’m sorry but 262 words is not a manifesto. It’s a statement. Maybe a communique. Not a manifesto.

I always tell folks that teaching someone math is like telling them how to get from NYC to Chicago. Some kids take the shortest and fastest route and some kids take all the back roads. The kids who take the “back roads” make connections and see things others won’t.

as a trans woman, i would find this difficult to articulate except in that in a patriarchal binarized gendered society womanhood develops essentially as an outplacement from manhood, whose polar identity develops as a secondary characteristic; in this sense it contains all exclusions.
To cis folks who consider themselves sympathetic to the cause of trans liberation:
If you were asked "What makes a trans woman a woman?", or some less-respectful variant of that by a transphobe, would you be able to answer?
