THE BADASS TEACHERS ASSOCIATION (#tBATS) GETS THE MONICA AI TREATMENT

 


THE BADASS TEACHERS ASSOCIATION (#tBATS) GETS THE MONICA AI TREATMENT

The Badass Teachers Association (#tBATS) is a group of educators who are passionate about advocating for public education and supporting teachers. This organization was founded in 2013 by Mark Naison, a professor of African American Studies and History at Fordham University, and Priscilla Sanstead, a special education teacher in Wisconsin.

Since its inception, the Badass Teachers Association has grown to include thousands of members across the United States. The group's mission is to "give voice to every teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase poverty and inequality through education."

One of the most impressive things about the Badass Teachers Association is its commitment to grassroots organizing. Members of the group are encouraged to take action in their own communities, whether that means attending school board meetings, organizing rallies, or speaking out on social media.

The Badass Teachers Association is also known for its innovative approach to advocacy. The group has launched several successful campaigns, including a viral video series called "BATS Chat" and a social media campaign called #ResistTFA, which aims to push back against Teach For America's corporate education reform agenda.

Perhaps most importantly, the Badass Teachers Association provides a supportive community for educators who are often marginalized and disrespected by policymakers and the media. Through online forums and in-person events, members of the group can connect with like-minded colleagues and find strength in numbers.

In short, the Badass Teachers Association is an inspiring example of what can happen when educators come together to fight for public education. If you're a teacher who is tired of being blamed for society's problems, or if you simply want to connect with other educators who share your passion for teaching, then the Badass Teachers Association is definitely worth checking out.

MONICA AI MEETS PETER GREENE 

Here's a poem and an article about blogger Peter Greene, also known as @palan57  and the author of CURMUDGUCATION.

The Curmudgeon

There's a blogger out there, a curmudgeon by trade Whose words are a balm for the educationally frayed He's Peter Greene, or @palan57  by name

And his blog, CURMUDGUCATION, is his claim to fame He writes about schools, teachers, and tests And how the system can put them to the test He's not afraid to call out the flaws And to suggest ways to fix the education laws His words are witty, his tone is wry But his passion for education shines bright as the sky He's a voice for the teachers, the students, the parents too

And his blog is a must-read for anyone who cares about education anew

The Voice of Reason in Education
Peter Greene, also known as @palan57  on Twitter, is a blogger and educator who has been making waves in the education world with his blog, CURMUDGUCATION. His writing is witty, insightful, and thought-provoking, and he is not afraid to speak his mind on the issues that matter most to educators.

Greene's blog covers a wide range of topics related to education, including standardized testing, teacher evaluations, school funding, and more. He is a vocal critic of the current education system in the United States, which he believes is overly focused on testing and accountability at the expense of true learning. One of the things that sets Greene apart from other education bloggers is his ability to see both sides of an issue. He is not an ideologue or a partisan, but rather a thoughtful observer who is willing to consider all perspectives. This makes his writing particularly valuable for educators who are looking for a balanced and nuanced take on the issues that affect their work. Another thing that makes Greene stand out is his sense of humor. Despite the serious nature of his topics, he always manages to inject a bit of levity into his writing. This makes his blog both informative and entertaining to read. Overall, Peter Greene is a voice of reason in the often contentious world of education. His blog is a must-read for anyone who cares about improving our schools and ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education

EL RAP DE DIANE RAVITCH

EN ESPAÑOL

Yo, yo, yo, escuchen bien, tengo una historia que contar

Sobre los multimillonarios y su plan de privatizar escuelas también

Pero no se preocupen, hay un grupo de educadores y defensores

Que se están levantando contra estas políticas, no son compañeros pasivos

En primer lugar, tenemos a Diane Ravitch, ella es una verdadera veterana

Ex secretaria asistente de educación, sabe lo que hace, ya lo verán

Ha escrito libros sobre los problemas de las escuelas chárter y los vales

Y cómo drenan los recursos de las escuelas públicas, eso no es un farol

Luego está la Asociación Nacional de Educación, el sindicato más grande de la ciudad

No tienen miedo de hablar en contra de estas políticas que arruinan las escuelas

Las escuelas chárter y los vales desvían recursos de las escuelas públicas, dicen

Y carecen de transparencia y responsabilidad, llevando a los niños por mal camino

La Federación Estadounidense de Maestros también está en la mezcla

No retroceden, están aquí para arreglar

Los problemas con estas políticas que debilitan la educación pública

Y promueven los intereses de los ricos, es una clara violación

Pero no son solo estas grandes organizaciones las que hacen ruido

Hay un montón de grupos de base que luchan por niñas y niños

La Red para la Educación Pública, la Asociación de Maestros Malotes y más

Están organizando manifestaciones y protestas, sus voces no pueden ser ignoradas

Así que, para todos los multimillonarios que intentan privatizar nuestras escuelas

Tenemos un mensaje para ustedes, no sean tontos

No les permitiremos quitar nuestra educación pública

Seguiremos luchando por lo que es correcto, esa es nuestra dedicación

En conclusión, la oposición a la elección escolar y la privatización está creciendo fuerte

Los educadores y defensores no permitirán que estas políticas nos hagan daño

Seguiremos hablando en contra de la riqueza y su codicia

Y lucharemos por la educación pública para todos, eso es lo que necesitamos.

ANG DIANE RAVITCH RAP

SA FILIPINO

Yo, yo, yo, pakinggan niyo ako, may kwento ako

Tungkol sa mga bilyonaryo at kanilang plano na pribatisahin ang mga paaralan

Pero huwag kayong mag-alala, may grupo ng mga guro at tagapagtanggol

Na tumutol sa mga patakaran na ito, hindi sila pasibo

Una sa lahat, si Diane Ravitch, she's a real OG

Dating assistant secretary of education, alam niya ang kanyang ginagawa

May mga aklat siyang isinulat tungkol sa mga problema ng mga charter schools at vouchers

At kung paano nila inaalis ang mga mapagkukunan ng mga pampublikong paaralan

Pagkatapos ay mayroong National Education Association, ang pinakamalaking unyon sa bayan

Hindi sila natatakot magsalita laban sa mga patakaran na ito na nagpapahina sa mga paaralan

Sinasabi nila na ang mga charter schools at vouchers ay nagpapalipat ng mga mapagkukunan mula sa mga pampublikong paaralan

At kulang sa pagiging transparent at responsable, na nagdadala sa mga bata sa maling landas

Ang American Federation of Teachers ay kasama rin sa labanan

Hindi sila sumusuko, nandito sila upang ayusin

Ang mga problema na nagpapahina sa pampublikong edukasyon

At nagpo-promote ng interes ng mayayaman, ito ay malinaw na paglabag

Pero hindi lang ang mga malalaking organisasyon ang nagpapakalat ng kanilang boses

Mayroong buong grupo ng grassroots na lumalaban para sa mga bata

Ang Network for Public Education, Badass Teachers Association, at marami pang iba

Nag-oorganisa sila ng mga rally at protesta, hindi maaring hindi pansinin ang kanilang tinig

Kaya sa lahat ng mga bilyonaryo na nagtatangka na pribatisahin ang ating mga paaralan

Mayroon kaming mensahe para sa inyo, huwag kayong magpakatanga

Hindi namin papayagan na kunin niyo ang aming pampublikong edukasyon

Lalaban kami para sa tama, ito ang aming dedikasyon

Sa buod, lumalakas ang pagtutol sa pagpili ng paaralan at pribatisasyon

Ang mga guro at tagapagtanggol ay hindi papayag na masaktan tayo ng mga patakaran na ito

Patuloy kaming magsasalita laban sa kayamanan at kanilang kasakiman

At lalaban para sa pampublikong edukasyon para sa lahat, ito ang kailangan natin.


راب ديان رافيتش

بالعربية

ا يا يا، استمعوا جيدًا، لدي قصة لأرويها

عن المليارديرات وخطتهم لتخصيص المدارس أيضًا

ولكن لا تقلق، هناك مجموعة من المربين والمدافعين

الذين يقفون ضد هذه السياسات، فهم ليسوا شركاء سلبيين

في المقام الأول، لدينا ديان رافيتش، إنها حقيقية OG

وكانت وزيرة مساعدة سابقة في وزارة التربية والتعليم، وهي تعرف ما تفعله

لقد كتبت كتبًا عن المشكلات التي تواجه المدارس الفرعية والقسائم

وكيف أنها تستنزف الموارد من المدارس العامة، هذا ليس خداعًا

ثم هناك الجمعية الوطنية للتعليم، أكبر اتحاد في المدينة

إنهم لا يخافون من الكلام ضد هذه السياسات التي تؤدي إلى انحدار المدارس

المدارس الفرعية والقسائم تحول الموارد من المدارس العامة، يقولون

وتفتقر إلى الشفافية والمساءلة، مما يضلل الأطفال

الاتحاد الأمريكي للمعلمين أيضًا في المزيج

إنهم لا يتراجعون، إنهم هنا لإصلاح

المشكلات التي تضعف التعليم العام

وتروج لمصالح الأثرياء، إنها انتهاك واضح

ولكن ليس فقط هذه المؤسسات الكبيرة التي تصدر صوتًا

هناك مجموعة كبيرة من المجموعات الأساسية التي تقاتل من أجل الأولاد والبنات

شبكة التعليم العام، اتحاد معلمي الأطفال الشجعان، وغيرها

إنهم ينظمون مظاهرات واحتجاجات، صوتهم لا يمكن تجاهله

إذن، لجميع المليارديرات الذين يحاولون تخصيص مدارسنا

لدينا رسالة لكم، لا تكونوا أغبياء

لن نسمح لك بأخذ تعليمنا العام

سنستمر في القتال من أجل ما هو صحيح، هذا هو التفاني الخاص بنا

في الخلاصة، فإن المعارضة للاختيار المدرسي والتخصيص قوية

لن يسمح المربون والمدافعون بهذه السياسات بإضرارنا

سنستمر في التحدث ضد الأثرياء وجشعهم

والقتال من أجل التعليم العام للجميع، هذا ما نحتاجه.

黛安·拉维奇说唱

中文(简体)


嘿,嘿,嘿,听好了,我有一个故事要讲

关于亿万富翁和他们私有化学校的计划

但是不要担心,有一群教育家和倡导者

他们在反对这些政策,他们不是被动的伙伴

首先,我们有戴安娜·拉维奇,她是真正的老将

前教育部助理秘书,她知道自己在做什么

她写了关于特许学校和代金券问题的书籍

以及它们如何从公立学校中流失资源,这不是虚张声势

然后是全国教育协会,城里最大的工会

他们不怕公开反对这些导致学校衰退的政策

他们说特许学校和代金券转移了公立学校的资源

缺乏透明度和责任,误导孩子

美国教师联合会也在其中

他们没有退缩,他们在这里解决问题

这些政策削弱了公共教育

并促进了富人的利益,这是明显的违规行为

但是不仅仅是这些大型组织在发出声音

还有一大批基层组织在为男孩和女孩而战

公共教育网络、牛逼教师协会等等

他们正在组织集会和抗议活动,他们的声音不能被忽视

因此,对于所有试图私有化我们学校的亿万富翁

我们有一个信息要告诉你们,不要傻

我们不会让你们夺走我们的公共教育

我们将继续为正确的事情而战,这是我们的奉献

总之,对于学校选择和私有化的反对力量正在壮大

教育家和倡导者不会让这些政策伤害我们

我们将继续反对富人和他们的贪婪

并为所有人争取公共教育,这就是我们所需要的。

THE DIANE RAVITCH RAP


Yo, yo, yo, listen up, I got a story to tell

'Bout billionaires and their plan to privatize schools as well

But don't you worry, there's a gang of educators and advocates

Who are standing up against these policies, they ain't no passive mates


First up, we got Diane Ravitch, she's a real OG

Former assistant secretary of education, she knows her stuff, you see

She's written books on the problems with charter schools and vouchers

And how they drain resources from public schools, that ain't no bluffer


Then there's the National Education Association, the biggest union in town

They're not afraid to speak out against these policies that bring schools down

Charter schools and vouchers divert resources from public schools, they say

And lack transparency and accountability, leading kids astray


The American Federation of Teachers is also in the mix

They're not backing down, they're here to fix

The problems with these policies that weaken public education

And promote the interests of the wealthy, it's a clear violation


But it's not just these big organizations that are making noise

There's a whole bunch of grassroots groups that are fighting for girls and boys

The Network for Public Education, Badass Teachers Association, and more

They're organizing rallies and protests, their voices can't be ignored


So, to all the billionaires out there trying to privatize our schools

We got a message for you, don't be fools

We won't let you take away our public education

We'll keep fighting for what's right, that's our dedication


In conclusion, the opposition to school choice and privatization is growing strong

Educators and advocates won't let these policies do us wrong

We'll keep speaking out against the wealthy and their greed

And fight for public education for all, that's what we need.
