@JessedHagopian:
Crises that have been going on for a LONG time:
-institutional racism
-climate
-poverty
-segrenomics (term from @nrookie )

@nrookie: In many ways, compulsory schooling paid for by municipalities is a legacy of Reconstruction.
Philanthropic interest in education is not a new phenomenon.

Wayne Au:
Crises in public ed before Covid are crisis due to capitalism.
Conflicting desires: communities vs big business.
Public schools can produce workers, generate profit, social control, nationalism

But also: communities have always used schools as sites of resistance!!

While I’m here, @RethinkSchools is an authentic, educator-created, radical ed magazine and my #1 favorite education publication.

I’ve been a subscriber for nearly half my life!

Rooks: Why are we more prepared for school shootings than we are for school being canceled (due to this pandemic)?

Wayne Au:
Immediate concerns- what harms are kids experiencing and trying to deal with while they’re also being expected to learn?

Au: Losing community is major and it impacts us in huge ways. Worried about how students (as HUMANS, not just academics) will come out of this.

Au: We have a moment to rethink all of that. (i.e. testing, what school is for, what's important to learn, having recess time)
