JGfromNP @jgfromnp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026We need more educational scholars who were classroom teachers first, and we need to hear from fewer scholars who were never classroom teachers. Not saying there isn’t a place for a voice if they never taught, but damn we are not at all balanced in who we hear from. 030

JGfromNP @jgfromnp.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’ll go one further and say you can’t beat the system solely from the outside either, because without the institutional knowledge to avoid the pitfalls that created the current system, all you’re doing is replicating a similar system with different people in charge. Nice, white parents, most likely. 230
