This article makes me ask, "Whose culture are we transmitting? And, should we be? Maybe, it's time to decide (again) what #culture to pass on...a kindler, gentler one, for sure.
Article:

Education as civilization-building - by François Chollet https://fchollet.substack.com/p/education-as-civilization-building

#education is the process through which the body of knowledge and culture that we have been accumulating for thousands of years passes from our generation to the next one.

It is the steel making up an uninterrupted chain of cultural transmission, accretion, and renewal, stretching back to the emergence of language — back when humans first became truly human. The default state of our culture, our technology, our science, our stories, is not eternal progress — it is fast decay.

Without proper education, the next generation forgets, and soon enough, cultures fall into decadence. What took thousands of years to discover may be forgotten in a few generations. #edutooter @edutooters #teaching #learning #language

Time to invite the teacher-librarians in K12 over to Mastodon. I've learned so much from K-12 librarians, ever since I walked into a library and remembered it at 3rd grade. … https://www.mguhlin.org/2022/11/spread-word-to-k12librarian-folks.html #K12Librarian @K12librarian #Reading #books #education

“Over eighty-five percent of the reading and writing we do as adults is nonfiction,” says Tony Stead. Consider that students will need to devour nonfiction writing to be future ready. There are four building blocks to improving reading comprehension and engagement. These building blocks assist students in ways that will not change in the future.

Report finds faculty diversity isn't meeting student needs

Faculty diversity is positively associated with student success across a variety of metrics. Black and Latino students are more likely to graduate when they see themselves represented in their instructors, for instance. #Diversity #NewStudy #education

Student 'slave auctions' illustrate the existence of a hidden culture of domination and subjugation in US schools

“Reenacting a slave sale as a prank tells us that we have a great deal of work to do with our students so they can distinguish between intent and impact,” Osumi wrote. “They may have thought this skit was funny, but it is not; it is unacceptable and requires us to look honestly and deeply at issues of systemic racism.”
