extremely fucking weird to have to convince leftists that fighting for a better public education system & better wages for teachers is not, like, the Lame Establishment Dem take or whatever.

It is not Cool and Radical to advocate for the dissolution of the entire public education system in favor of Everyone Doing Their Own Thing. what you’re describing is libertarianism, and a system that directly and dramatically benefits fascist right-wingers and child abusers.

the community-centered child rearing yall love to talk about exists. it desperately needs to be improved, but the bones are here, and they’re already doing a lot of legwork in the fight against aggressive nuclear family isolation.

it’s called public school, you fucking dweeb.

Public education is a thing we did right.

We just really, really need to update it.

can I be honest? Based on what I know about public school, I don’t think it should be like public school at all beyond just being….available to the public.

It should be more like what we did in homeschool groups I was in in more left leaning areas. Basically we would have one parent who was an expert in something have a class in that every week or so and we’d all go spend the day there doing discussions and exercises and stuff. Like one parent used to be a PE teacher, and that parent would just have a class every week or so that we’d all go to. Another parent had a masters in chemistry and would have a chemistry class. (And honestly that was some of the only solid teaching I ended up getting in my last few years of HS). There was a suggested grade from these parents, but ultimately the goal was comprehension of the material and the grade was more if you needed something on a transcript to go to college since your parents didn’t have a good grasp of what to put. And the classes weren’t separated by age. I was in the chemistry “class” with whoever was old enough to understand the math. So everyone from like what would be 7th graders to seniors. And the class wasn’t like lecture style. It was longer form and hands on and we compensated the teacher parents directly. Just brought a check or whatever. Or sometimes we just traded lessons. Like when I was younger my friend’s mom was a hospital lab tech and she taught us biology. And my mom graded my friend’s English papers in return. I feel like this crowd-sourced expertise sharing is a model that can work really well when it’s not being coopted solely by conservatives for indoctrination. What worked about this is there was a mix of people and not just the weird evangelical ones.

What you’re touching on here is actually something that the education field as a whole is really moving toward; my ed program(s) definitely taught me a couple of intersecting principles here, namely:

• Valuing expertise from within the community (culturally responsive)
• Community members teaching their own community (culturally responsive)
• Assessment for learning vs. assessment of learning, i.e., assessing what students have learned so you can adjust to teach them better, rather than assessing just to give them a grade.

I’m sure there’s some other stuff here, but I think a lot of this is also rooted in indigenous teaching practices; community-based, hands-on, & teaching what the community knows and values rather than broadly standardized, one-size-fits-all education.

My point just being that a lot of people are doing this work, and have been for a long time. And if this is something that interests you, I really recommend learning more! You might try For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood (and the Rest of Y'all Too) by Christopher Emdin, as a starting point; Ch.5 on co-teaching touches on a lot of what you’ve mentioned, and why it works.

probably explains a ton of shit that many american adults get the vast majority of their non-family socialization in (hierarchical! competitive!) work-adj environments

they do? 

eight hours for work, eight hours for leisure (and work-adjacent activities such as maintaining your professional network), eight hours for sleep, and only one of these involves meetings, so the math would’ve worked out even before the bemeetinged class stopped having friends

what does this have to do with hierarchical competitive work-adj environments. I’ve structured my entire adult life around avoiding America and conventional employment, despite being born in America and wealthy. Please explain yourself clearly, without allusions. 

the lifestyle of the office worker involves spending 40+ hours a week in the office, which is a social environment. you have to talk to co-workers, managers, subordinates, people from other departments, etc. if you are in an open office, you are in a panopticon, and have to perform Work for those 40+ hours, performance being a type of social activity. open offices are common in america.

how many people spend 40+ hours a week talking to their friends? where would they find the time for that? the full-time office worker doesn’t even have 40 hours of spare time during the work week, because of chores, errands, commuting, etc. and, as has been widely noted for decades, the social fabric is decaying and people don’t go out as much as they used to - see here for a recent survey, but there’s an entire discourse around this, which goes back to at least robert putnam’s bowling alone.

whenever remote work comes up on the orange website, people chime in to say that they can’t do remote work because their lifestyle relies on working in an office environment as a source of socialization. this does not seem to be an uncommon sentiment, nor is it hard to understand.

paul skallas has written about the “four-hour life” (4HL), the condition of the office worker in america - eight hours of work a day plus chores, errands, commute time, and the need to sleep (most americans do not get enough sleep; alarm clocks, devices whose purpose is to ensure that their operators don’t get enough sleep, are common household items) leaves the office worker with, effectively, a four-hour day, and a social life dominated by performance in hierarchical environments.

Oh, okay. Makes sense!

probably explains a ton of shit that many american adults get the vast majority of their non-family socialization in (hierarchical! competitive!) work-adj environments

It probably does! What do you think it explains? Anything specific or just “wow, I bet this is important”? Because, wow, yeah, I bet that that’s important. 

the american love of conformity, hierarchy, and regimentation; the existence of elaborate and deliberately anti-inductive neovictorian social codes centered around “career tracks”

tumblr is cringe because they’ll both claim to be The Queerest Website Around and also have terfs on their staff that will flag posts of teddy bears that are dressed as leather daddies but are still Teddy Bears. like if you wanna show your ass then don’t make your brand slogan Look At How Good We Are At Not Showing Our Ass

The memes are fun. The memes are aspirational and keep us reaching for the horizon.

But look down, too, at what actually is.

Endure pains now—suffer the inconveniences now—knowing that they likely involve unpleasantness.

The Revolution™ is fun to imagine and involves no pain. But the real world does involve pain, and it’s necessary to exercise the muscles needed for future work and opportunities.

Hello, fellow redditors! Many people are trying to tell you rules about how to Tumblr properly. Many of them are wrong, or assholes, or both. I am also an asshole but I’m going to not be one for a minute to give you some advice:

1. “Reblog this or you’re a bad person” and any variation on that is a violation of intergalactic law. Don’t do it. Also, refuse to comply if someone else does it.
2. Generally, people can see what you reblog, but cannot see what you ‘like’. A like may seem like an upvote, but it is much less significant than one, since it doesn’t affect visibility in the slightest. A like will be visible both to the OP of the thread, and to the person whose reblog you put the like on. Like promiscuously! It feels good to get likes and there’s no downside. (Unless you are a space alien AKA influencer.)
   
3. Tumblr nominally has the ability to browse global tags (e.g. seeing the entire site’s posts and reblogs tagged #superwholock or #reddit exodus) and to search the site for things. No one uses them and they don’t really work.
   
4. You are probably less surprised by this than denizens of literally any other website on the internet, but there’s no algorithm here. Chronological order only. (If you’re using the search or global tags, they might have an algorithm, but if they do, it doesn’t work. We don’t know because we don’t use them.)
   
5. Anyone can have absolutely any conversation in the notes of your post that they like. This is how the website works. You are allowed to complain about it, but don’t expect anyone to humor you.
6. Many people have ‘DNI’ lists in their blog descriptions. This means ‘do not interact’ and indicates that they don’t want you to message them, reblog from them, reblog any posts they are OP of, or even, sometimes, ‘like’ their posts. It is good manners to respect these, if you know they exist, but in normal use you probably won’t look at blog descriptions very often so it is entirely okay to violate them by accident. (When the lists get very long, it becomes impractical to check whether you violate them. Generally, just skip it. You probably don’t want to interact with those people anyway.)
   
7. Notes on posts you start will go to you no matter how many intervening hops there are on the reblog chain. If you get a post with an enormous amount of notes, this can get overwhelming. Whatever the current incarnation of Xkit (basically RES for Tumblr except we’ve switched names and maintainers seven times) is, will have a setting to deal with this. If that’s insufficient, the suggested course of action is to reblog your OP to your own blog so that you have a copy for posterity’s sake, and then delete the OP. This silences the notes.
8. If you and another user both follow each other, you are ‘mutuals’. This makes it much easier to have conversations with each other, which is ordinarily sort of hard since everything is purely chronological. Frequently your mutuals are your friends; if not yet true, they may become your friends.
9. When you reblog things, you can write words both in the word part and in the tags, Modern tumblr norms are to write long rambling tags in full sentences rather than put words in the main body. Do not that only the first four tags in the list can be searched on. Unlike some other norms, violating this one and putting your response in the body of the reblog is not particularly rude. The worst it does is make a reblog chain long. Probably don’t reblog things and just say “This.”, though.
   
10. If you want to search your blog, consider Siikr. Don’t overuse it, it’s one guy’s project.
11. Be verbose! This ain’t Twitter, no character limit. (Not even the really large character limit of a reddit comment.) Write a 3000-word story in a single reblog if you want, that sounds awesome. Use ‘read more’ if you do, though. Posts can be very long, one of our oldest memes is about this.
12. Infinite scroll is the default, but you can turn it off. Actually, check all the settings, many of them will improve your experience.
    
13. Everybody be excellent to each other!
