White folx truly concerned about understanding racism, about being in solidarity with dark folx, about building community, and who are interested in intersectional justice have to start with learning about Whiteness and how it functions.

When we see a student using a hammer on a screw, our first assumption probably isn’t that they hate screwdrivers. We’d probably think they don’t have one. Because we understand our students will use whatever tools they have available to meet their needs, we would instinctively ask the obvious question: do you need a screwdriver? Yet often when our students use whatever behavioral tools they have at their disposal in the classroom, if the resulting behavior is as inappropriate as using a hammer on a screw, the default response from schools is based in criminal justice not curiosity.

Time and again, teachers of color have been blamed for every conceivable wrong in urban schools, a tactic that ignores the history of racism and bolsters the expansion of charter schools that lack community roots.

Cuando un niño está enojado o irritable, lo que busca es satisfacer sus necesidades no cubiertas. Esas rabietas que a tantos padres desesperan no son sino las ideas propias del niño enfrentadas a los deseos de sus padres: no entiende lo que pasa, se ofusca y estalla emocionalmente.

La lettura è un’esperienza incredibile e un’opportunità fondamentale da cogliere, ma perché ciò avvenga occorre superare le difficoltà di accesso e riconoscere le possibilità offerte dalle storie. Essere esposti alla lettura ad alta voce allena la comprensione, le abilità necessarie per poter leggere anche da soli e permette di trarre profitto dal percorso scolastico.

At the best of times, leadership is messy. It's about a way of being, not doing. It's nebulous, nuanced, and elusive, as much to do with feeling and energy as thinking and planning. It's contextual and responsive and can never be one size fits all. When great leaders are in balance, they are both ferocious about the moral purpose and courageously making a stand, while warmly building strong and enduring relationships.

Do you know what goes on in a typical classroom? Do you feel an irrational fear of authority and confidence in yourself? This book reveals the dark agenda of the modern schooling system and its toxic effects on both pupils and teachers alike.

Drawing on his twenty years as a teacher, hundreds of interviews and his experience on the UK Government's Social Mobility Commission, Sammy Wright shows that schools are - and should be - so much more than this. Filled with funny, tender encounters and an unflinching focus on the profound challenges of daily life for both teachers and pupils, his book argues that we need urgently to think of school differently: as something more like a home than a factory, a community hub rather than a boot-camp or testing ground.
