  3. Civilization Will Triumph Over Barbarism (April 30, 2024)

    How do you study in the rubble of destroyed buildings? How do you concentrate when classmates are killed?
  5. The Revolt of the Outer Party (April 3, 2024)
    We never bother with the question "why educate people?" today. The need is tacitly taken for granted, and if a justification were ever needed it would be that a complex society like ours would collapse if people were not educated to help run it. That's true as far as it goes, but it doesn't explain why education was necessary in the first place. To call it a "human right" is meaningless, since anything can be called a human right if enough powerful actors are able to force its acceptance as such. You can also argue that education is necessary for economic growth, but, as Ha-Joon Chang points out, that relationship is not a simple one: more education does not necessarily mean higher economic growth.

  12. Most of All, I am Offended as a Muslim (December 29, 2022)
    Barring a professor of art history from showing a painting, lest it harm observant Muslims in class, is just as absurd as asking a biology professor not to teach evolution because it may offend evangelical Protestants in the course.

    The high school dropout is a revolutionary without having recovered the sense of dignity of failure, in a system of authoritarian control. Blaming the dropout is to blame the victim of institutional abuse of power exercised within youth indoctrination centers carrying the misnomer, school. Is it possible that the problem is mainly systemic and not due to the personal faults of the dropout? Is it possible that the education system itself contributes to young people dropping out of high school? Is it possible that capitalism is the root cause?

  44. Academic mobbing, or how to become campus tormentors (September 19, 2017)
    If you’re a university professor, chances are fairly good that you have initiated or participated in mobbing. Why?

Unlike bullying, an individual form of harassment in which a typical scenario consists of a boss victimizing an assistant, mobbing is a serious organizational deficiency.

  48. Predatory Journals: Write, Submit, and Publish the Next Day (September 1, 2017)
    Predatory journals can be defined as "publications [that take] large fees without providing robust editorial or publishing services." They usually "recruit articles through aggressive marketing and spam emails, promising quick review and open access publication for a price. There is little if any quality control and virtually no transparency about processes and fees. Their motive is financial gain, and they are corrupting the communication of science. Their main victims are institutions and researchers in low and middle income countries..."

Valdez was talking with another student, trying to resolve a verbal conflict between the two, when Kehm entered and attacked her. "Janissa! Janissa, you okay?" a student asked before exclaiming, "She landed on her face!"

  70. Why I'm on the Picket Line (June 6, 2014)
    Teacher Tara Ehrcke talks about why she voted to strike in Greater Victoria, British Columbia: The "public" in public school shouldn't mean just providing a building, with some tired teachers to deliver a curriculum, the success of which is measured by standardized tests. A good public school system should provide high quality opportunities to every single child. While our public schools have many wonderful programs and many dedicated teachers, the sad truth is that there are also overcrowded classrooms, children falling behind, and a workforce exhausted from trying to fill in the gaps.

    CONNEXIONS and Beit Zatoun are spotlighting grassroots archives this November with an open house and networking event November 24, a talk and discussion November 27, and an exhibit (November 16-27).

Mainstream media and institutions of power consign inconvenient histories, struggles, and alternative visions to what George Orwell called “the memory hole.” People’s history projects such as grassroots archives preserve and share stories of resistance, hidden histories, and alternative visions.
