PE Scholar’s Post

“We live in an era defined and overwhelmed by grievance — by too many Americans’ obsession with how they’ve been wronged and their insistence on wallowing in ire. This anger reflects a pessimism that previous generations didn’t feel. The ascent of identity politics and the influence of social media, it turned out, were better at inflaming us than uniting us. They promote a self-obsession at odds with community, civility, comity and compromise. It’s a problem of humility…..we conflate real offenses with imagined ones…. what’s eclipsed along the way is a humble, mature understanding that we don’t get and shouldn’t expect a world completely to our liking, that life is a tangle of mercies and disappointments, and that the common good deserves as much consideration as our individual lots.” The culture and dynamics on many (most?) college campuses reflects a lot of this. It is one of the many reasons that colleges find themselves in the spotlight, not always for good reason. Faculty and administrators have an important mission based responsibility to navigate and address these challenges with their students, in ways that will encourage broader perspectives, deeper thinking and greater respect for other perspectives. This requires balance and courage.

(TELL ME AND I FORGET, TEACH ME AND I MAY REMEMBER, BUT INVOLVE ME AND I LEARN) Benjamin Franklin We started from the teachers who are the main engine ● THE PROJECT SHOULD BE IN OUR MIND FIRST : Our starting point was simply with the following questions: How do I teach him when he doesn’t love me? How do I make him love me? Is there a better teacher than another, or rather a better method than another?Do the marks that the teacher assigns to the learner reflect the level of the learner, or rather do they reflect the level of the teacher in the extent of his ability to communicate effectively? Then a big question imposed itself on all of us: Why now that we are adults, only one or two of the films we watched remain in our minds? same about the trips that we took? in the parties that we were invited to? only a few remain in the memory!Indeed remains ONLY what deviates from the norm what reaches us with enthusiasm and emotion such as the death of your father or your success in your doctorate. That s the secret of memorisation ,of teaching ●THE PROJECT IN OUR CLASSROOMS to see the project being implemented: Class One Topic: Racism .The teacher comes with many types of clothes. He asks a student to choose abd wear. A picture is taken of him in that dress. And so do the rest of the students. Then he asks them: Did the students who wore the clothes change? - No. What has changed? - Our inferiority view of them. The professor said: That is racism: a preconceived subjective view of the other because he differs from us in form. /Class two/Topic: strength in unity . The students see a first bundle of wooden sticks in the teacher’s hand. He opens the package and gives each student one stick. Then he asks everyone to break the stick in their hands at the same time. All the sticks are broken.so the teacher takes out a second similar package, but it is not disassembled. He asks each student to come to the blackboard and try ” None could break the package.Strength in unity. this way ,becomes true : Today I read tomorrow I Lead.

"Professional development doesn’t need to be just what’s given to you in your school district. Professional development is about reflecting on yourself. It’s about asking yourself, 'What areas do I need to build up?'" #PL #equity Read the full, 🌟free🌟 interview with one of our past conference keynote speakers here: https://ow.ly/3GKT50UIAhy

The Impact of Paternal Absence on Academic Achievement The role of a father in a child’s life is often described as irreplaceable, contributing significantly to their emotional and cognitive development. Fathers provide guidance, support, and stability, shaping the children’s self-confidence. Paternal absence is a phenomenon that has far-reaching implications on children’s academic achievement. My new Book explores the psychological, social, and educational challenges that arise because of paternal absence. https://a.co/d/gOp1lW2

I have a new, short article out in the winter issue of Free Society on "The Lost Art of Disagreeing." In it, I walk through some of the ways in which polarization has made engaging across differences not only harder, but much more unpleasant. More importantly, I lay out a few ways each of us can start to turn the tide: 1. Begin from a place of curiosity 2. Show that you've heard and respect the other person 3. Find points of common ground Check it out at the link below and let me know your thoughts. Hopefully, this can be a helpful as we head into the holidays and all the conversations that entails.

Ibram Kendi showcasing the big DEI lie because it seems even the Washington Post is onto it. But Kendi doubles down with his lie, which his own allies refute. It is, indeed, standard protocol for DEI "difficult dialogues" to teach that "all White people are racist" and "White people are inherently racist." This is, in fact, the central point in the critical racialist worldview. In their "courageous conversations," these workshop facilitators explicitly move students along a conveyer belt of conversion (the metaphor is Janet Helms's, Beverly Daniel Tatum's, and Derald Wing Sue's) to aid them in their "identity development" of realization that they are either oppressor or oppressed, which demands a confession from some and the acquiescence of all. It's unclear what "scholarship on antiracism" he refers to, but let's be glad that Kendi has supposedly recanted (likely under pressure). In BRUTAL MINDS I quote and cite the work of leading critical racialists, who propound these noxious views on the campus and, worse, train other in education schools to become missionaries for this ideology. Have a look at BRUTAL MINDS for a laundry list of racialists, where they are, and their primitive, toxic views that are pushed onto faculty, staff, and students on the college campuses. https://lnkd.in/eQzc4mrZ

Here in the UK, we're fast approaching results days for A-level & GCSE children. Emotions are high and everyone is nervous. To offer a bit of hope, watch this video alongside your teens. It's a speech I made at my old school a few years back. The first five minutes are especially pertinent if you have daughters, and the last five minutes will remind you that you are not defined by your academic credentials but by the life you lead and the legacy you leave. #examresults #resultsday #ceo #parenting #university #feminism #inspirational https://lnkd.in/ey5YxQaX
