Shot in the dark but is anyone else here a teacher? I am working on revising the literacy curriculum at my school and feel as though I’m doing it in complete isolation. I’d love to chat with another professional about it. #forkiverse #teachers #curriculum (im trying with this tagging stuff but I have legit never done it before)

#Mexico - Clashes between police and protesters broke out during the march organized by #teachers from the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE).

They think they are very radical in the CNTE, but in reality they join forces with the right wing."
That is the criticism made by President Claudia Sheinbaum. (The government that would not repress the people 🤡)

Hundreds of teachers marched once again in the historic center of the Mexican capital during the 48-hour national strike called by the CNTE union to demand increased education funding, improved conditions in rural schools, and the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE law and the 2019 education reform.
After the clashes with police, teachers set up a tent city in front of the Chamber of Deputies building to demand the government respond to their demands.
The National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), one of Mexico’s most powerful teachers’ unions, has maintained a series of protests in Mexico City since May 15 as part of a national strike to demand changes in working and educational conditions.
Demonstrations have included toll booth takeovers, embassy protests, sit-ins at the capital’s Zócalo, blockades at Mexico City International Airport (AICM) and main roads.

Tokyo’s Board of Education has drafted guidelines aimed at protecting teachers from irrational requests and abusive behaviors from parents, from limiting the duration of meetings to having a lawyer handle complaints. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/10/japan/society/teachers-parents-tokyo-harassment/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #schools #children #teachers #tokyo #parenthood #customerharassment

What we're reading:

"Asked to generate intervention plans for struggling students, AI teacher assistants recommended more punitive measures for hypothetical students with Black-coded names and more supportive approaches for students the platforms perceived as white, a new study shows."

We know that educators are bombarded with (VC-funded) hype about AI tools as magical solutions. Please don't take these claims at face value and do your own due diligence. 1/3
