Tuesday Open Thread
On the Washington Middle School meeting last night which I attended - two words - not good. I'll do a write-up but frankly, it was quite the tour de force (with an emphasis on force) from the principal.Reminder that tonight is the Board meeting instead of its usual Wednesday. Here's the agenda. Tonight the Board approves the one-year teacher contract.
Is your child's bus late? This seems to be on-going for more than a few parents, likely due to a shortage of drivers/veteran drivers. This was discussed at the Executive Committee, with Pegi McEvoy, who oversees Transportation, noting that this is an occurrence at the beginning of every school year. What are you experiencing/hearing at your school?
Superintendent Juneau did an interview on KUOW yesterday. Also, a link to her ThoughtExchange page so if you are unable to attend one of her listening sessions, you can leave your thoughts there.
Monday might be a good day to set the DVR because we are going to see a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee almost like no other. (Except, of course, if you are old like me and watched the Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill hearing.) This is history in the making and the committee - especially in this Me, Too time - needs to get it right. I am hearing that it will only be Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Professor Christine Blasey Ford. It might a good jumping off point for a discussion with your children if they are teens about boundaries and sexual assault.
Garfield teacher (and author) Jesse Hagopian reports this from his I Am An Educator blog:
Grammy award winning Seattle-based artist Macklemore and three-time NFL Pro Bowler Michael Bennett have teamed up to purchase and distribute copies of the new critically acclaimed book, Teaching for Black Lives to every middle and high school Social Studies and Language Arts teacher in the Seattle Public Schools.It's official - more U.S. schools have police officers - than counselors.
Michael Bennett said, “This is the book I wish I had coming up in school but it never existed. Now we have the opportunity to educate thousands of youth about the Black history that was too often missing from my schooling—from the building of the White House, to the role of Black youth in social movements, to organizing for restorative justice today.”
Macklemore added, “With everything from history, to poetry, to visual art, these lessons will help educators affirm the lives of their Black students and create deeper dialogue in our schools about the struggles and contributions of Black people that all students need to learn.”
The editors of Teaching for Black Lives will be participating in a Seattle Town Hall book launch event on Monday, September 24th at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.
