Can you imagine walking out of fourth grade in protest against white supremacy and racism? Dr. John B. Diamond did exactly that before becoming a sociologist studying race and education. He's not alone, did you know about Barbara Johns and the 1951 student walkout in Farmville, VA? In this episode, we break down the relationship between social inequality and educational opportunity, revisit what DuBois described as the color line, and Derrick A. Bell noted as the permanence of white supremacy and anti-Blackness, describe what Brown and the NAACP got wrong, unpack the consequences of distortions and failures (including Black educators losing the ability to teach), discuss the cost of integrating Black students into hostile environments, and the value of what Dr. Jarvis Giving termed “Fugitive Pedagogy” and libratory spaces that are supportive of Black and other non-white, non-privileged students thriving. Educators, system leaders, policymakers, and legal-activist/scholars will want to bookmark this episode.

Season 9, Episode 22. Freedom is not the right to do as you please; it is the liberty to do as you ought. We deserve to be free in every way; no boundary should stop us from being free and living our own will. However, when we often think of Freedom, we tend to forget that there is a merging line between Freedom and exploitation; our Freedom is only ours until and unless we don't use it to disturb or harm or exploit other citizens and when our Freedom goes beyond that line, it is not just our Freedom anymore. Tune into this fantastic conversation where Anvesha and Simar delve deeper into Freedom, and Rishona and Aria share their take on Freedom. Enjoy our shows on www.DilJeeto.com.

To cooperate is to listen to other individuals' demands, wishes or ideas to understand what they go through daily and help them overcome their shortcomings. Tune into this beautiful where Anvesha and Simar dwell on Cooperation and Saikiran and Rishona share their take on Cooperation.

Season 9, Episode 21. Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the Courage to continue that counts. Stand up even if it means standing out. Indeed, Courage is essential, but despite all the tales of valour and bravery we read as children, we still need to recognise and understand real Courage. Being brave or courageous isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it. Tune into this beautiful conversation where Anvesha and Simar explore Courage, and Oshi shares her views. Enjoy our shows on www.DilJeeto.com.

My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 19 where passion meets education. This beautiful conversation where Anvesha delves on the value of caring and Rishona and Divisha share their take on Caring. Rishona: Caring definitely does help others. When someone cares for you, you feel like there is someone out in the world who believes that you matter. It is a feeling of joy and happiness for that person. Caring is shown out of friendship, compassion and selflessness. A caring classroom is where students feel positively connected to others. That simple act can give them a sense of optimism and help solve their little problems. And what is in it for us? How does it help and benefit us? Well, seeing one smile puts a thousand smiles on my face. The fact that I have helped someone out or just given them the joy they needed and filled in the gap in their life, makes me happy as it is. As said, never believe that a few caring people can't change the world, for indeed, that's all who ever have. Anvesha: Absolutely just how self love is one of the most important kinds of love, self care is also as vital as caring for others. If you cannot care for yourself then you will not be capable enough to care for others. Everything starts with you, when you decide to help yourself you will end up helping others as well. So caring for self is as important as caring for others. Anvesha: Divisha whom do you care for the most ? Divisha : I care for my family and friends the most but yeah I care about my friends a little bit more because in my family it's just me, my parents and grandparents. Since they are elders they can take care of themselves. But, my friends are the people whom I have to take care of. It's been 7 years since our friendship. Many things change but one thing never changes, Them having problems and I have solutions. The fact that I'm the youngest among them still I Am more mature. Anvesha: And with that, we come to the end of our podcast. Comment below and let us know if you liked our podcast. If you want to be a part of similar podcasts, join us.

Learning, Forward Podcast Season 9 Episode 17 Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, then don't keep it a secret. Appreciating people, bringing a smile on their face can help them in unimaginable ways sometimes. Even when everything in one's life is crumbling, a little gratitude and appreciation can go a long way. Life hits you hard sometimes, and as humans we all need to be there for each other. We need to help people realise that they are worthy of our love and our gratitude, simply by appreciating them from time to time. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction right! If we appreciate others, they will also appreciate us back. That one little action can produce a chain reaction that is everlasting.Tune into this beautiful podcast where Anvesha and Simar ponder upon the importance and necessity of Appreciation. Listen as Oshi and Arfa share their take on Appreciation, how it has helped them and why they perceive it as magic.

Kevin Tufts is the real deal when it comes to tech and design. With over two decades of experience working across a number of companies in the Bay Area — Lyft, SendGrid, and Twilio, to name a few — he's now a product designer at Meta working on their Creation team. So believe me, we had a LOT to talk about.Our conversation begin with a look at the current climate inside Meta (pre-Threads, FYI), and he gave some thoughts on where the company is going as it approaches its 20th anniversary. From there, Kevin talked about his path to becoming a product designer, and we took a trip down memory lane recalling the early days of web design and what it was like working during such rapidly changing times. He also spoke on what he loves about product design now, and how he wants to help the next generation of designers through mentorship.Kevin's secrets to success are simple: seize opportunities for growth where you can, embrace collaboration, and remain flexible. Now that's something I think we could all take to heart!LinksKevin Tufts' WebsiteKevin Tufts on LinkedInFor a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 17, where passion meets education. We can do so little; together, we can do so much. United we stand, divided we fall. Tune into this beautiful podcast where Anvesha and Simar ponder upon the importance and necessity of Unity. Listen as Aria shares her take on unity, how it has helped her and why she perceives it as magic. Anvesha Rana and Simar Kaur - Hosts from Gyanshree School Aria Gupta - Guest from Gyanshree School Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much. United we stand, just as the rainbow colours blend beautifully. We're in the same boat to achieve happiness. Unity is not just being together; it's helping each other out when someone is in need. For example, during India's 1857 revolution, people from all religions and regions fought the British East India Company. Even though they couldn't get rid of the Britains, they became stronger and soon gained freedom together. Love is an understanding so complete that you feel like you are a part of the other person. Accepting the other person just how they are and not trying to change them into someone else. Love is the source of unity. So deep down, all the values come to a standstill as they finally arrive at the same spot. Comment below and let us know if you liked our podcast.

In January, Florida's Department of Education rejected an Advanced Placement course in African American studies. Governor Ron Desantis called the course curricula "indoctrination." This move is in line with the state's Stop Woke Act of 2022, which assumes that Critical Race Theory is running rampant throughout politics and education, that programs focused on race and diversity are discriminatory, and that strictly limits how topics like racism in American history can be discussed in Florida classrooms. We speak with John Diamond, Professor of Sociology and Education Policy at Brown University and author of “Despite the Best Intentions: How Inequality Thrives in Good Schools," about the importance of Black studies.

But they do. And they are ubiquitous and in high demand. Founded by unheralded, local educational entrepreneurs, these schools are proving that self-organized education is not just possible but flourishing—often enrolling far more students than “free” government schools do at prices within reach of even the most impoverished families. In the course of his analysis Tooley asks the key questions: ■ What proportion of poor children is served? ■ How good are the private schools? ■ What are the business models for these schools? ■ And can they be replicated and improved? The evidence is in. In poor urban and rural areas around the world, children in low-cost private schools outperform those in government schools. And the schools do so for a fraction of the per-pupil cost. Thanks to the pandemic, parents in America and Europe are discovering that the education of their children is indeed possible—and likely far better—without government meddling with rigid seat-time mandates, outdated school calendars, absurd age-driven grade levels, and worse testing regimes.

My Good School Season 1 Episode 1 - 'Dil Se' means from the heart! The seven-part series shares how select schools connect, communicate, collaborate and create an environment where the joy of learning comes to life. In this story of The Fabindia School, find out how the school has successfully built a great relationship with all the stakeholders - Students, Parents, Teachers and Management - to win hearts and create a school that prepares children to face the world. In this show, the Director, Dr Ashok Pandey, has beautifully shared how school culture is built and what makes a good school. The speakers include Rajeshree Shihag (Principal), Aryan Sirvi & Meenakshi Chaudhary (Students), Bharti Rao (Teacher), Pokar Ram Choudhary (Parent), Yogender Mertiya (Trustee - Management representative) and Shelly Jain (Ex-Student). Where Passion Meets Education How is the human element highlighted in the school? Elements that make a school from good to great? What goes into making a good school? How are values taught in school? How do stakeholders work to make it a good school? What is the vision of the promoters? The My Good School Dil Se stories explain how schools can achieve significantly better teaching standards, foster a sense of community, and help students reach their fullest potential. THE FABINDIA SCHOOL The school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, offering extensive extracurricular programs and academic courses. The school was established in 1992 in the village of Bali, Rajasthan, by William and John Bissell, who recognized the need for a model school to empower young people in rural Rajasthan, where literacy rates are meagre, especially among women. After completing his studies in 1988, William Bissell lived for several years in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, where he worked with rural artisans and various crafts co-operatives across the state. This formative experience strongly impacted his views on the critical role of education and the lack of high quality, affordable education in rural areas. William was passionate about creative approaches to education which brought out each child's inherent talents and the need to include environmental education in a local context. With input from many creative talents over the years, the school has become a model for preparing its students for success in life while contributing to the local community. Message to the Principal "It was a great pleasure interacting with your team. Your students are brilliant. You are leading a great school. Congratulations. During the show, I wish to focus on some of the very profoundly touching questions."- Dr Ashok Pandey (Director Ahlcon Group of Schools and Host of the My Good School Show). The My Good School curriculum focuses on learning for life; Empower students by creating an environment for their personal and social development; Encourage students to become involved in activities beyond just study; this helps develop confidence, knowledge and networks; and Experiential learning is a critical factor in the students progressing successfully through adolescence. My Good School standard core curriculum helps empower every individual; we invite schools to join the Good Schools' global community. The 4S School - Service, Skill, Sport and Study. The 'My Good School' designation shows a school's value on professional learning and student achievement. For more about The Fabindia School www.FabindiaSchool.org.

Photo: View of Timbuktu, Heinrich Barth (1858). In its Golden Age, Timbuktu's numerous Islamic scholars and extensive trading network made possible an important book trade: together with the campuses of the Sankore Madrasah, an Islamic university, this established Timbuktu as a scholarly centre in Africa. Several notable historic writers, such as Shabeni and Leo Africanus, have described Timbuktu. [In fact, for centuries TImbuktu was a world center of scholarship. Only recently, during the Malian civil war, have the magnificent libraries been raided and partly burned by Tuareg using radical Islam as an excuse for territorial expansion. A thrilling and literate book on this is the oddly-named, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu : And Their Race to Save the World's Most Precious Manuscripts, by Joshua Hammer. --ed.] CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor CBS Audio Network @Batchelorshow James Tooley #Unbound: the complete, forty-minute interview.

A good education can provide a pathway out of poverty, but how do we improve the quality of schooling in poor countries? One solution is to enable low-fee private schools to flourish. In this episode of the 'Solutions With David Ansara' podcast, I speak with Prof. James Tooley, Vice Chancellor at the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom, and author of several books on education in the developing world. Prof. Tooley and I discuss: - Why parents in poor countries tend to prefer low-cost private schools to free public schools. - Why international aid agencies are reluctant to acknowledge the role of private schooling in development. - How teacher's unions undermine accountability and quality in public schools. - Whether low-fee private schools provide a sufficiently high standard of education. - The effectiveness of voucher-based systems. - How private schools help young girls to be better educated. - The potential for disruption in higher education.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSrDuSuILAs We are so often told that if we want the best capital growth our property needs to be close to amenities. Good school, train stations and shopping centers or other public transport are often touted as key indicators of future growth. But what does the data actually say about the affect of amenities on the capital growth of a suburb? The results from this one are extremely surprising. Read this article: Select Residential Property DSR Data 0:00 - Introduction1:40 - Key idea: Price has already factored in existing amenities, which does NOT lead to more growth4:00 - How expansion of Brisbane airport affected prices short and long term4:45 - Do train stations affect capital growth7:55 - Be careful of starting and ending points of statistics8:30 - Do school affect capital growth11:00 - How do beaches affect capital growth12:55 - How does proximity to shops affect capital growth13:58 - How does walkscore affect capital growth?21:24 - What do we do with this data?26:04 - Price variability over time Recommended Videos: Property Data Dive Series Transcription Ryan 0:00We're often told that when you're buying a property to get the best capital growth, the best return on investment, you want to look for properties that are close to amenities close to really good schools, close to shops and shopping centers, close to public transport. How many times have you heard people say, you know, this is a great suburb because it's got all of these factors in it. But as an investor, what we care about is the return on our investment, how much is that property going to grow? How is it going to perform? And so is this actually important? And today, I've got with me, Jeremy Shepherd from select residential property to actually dive through the data on this one, yes, it makes logical sense that we want these amenities there. But does the data actually back up this idea that this is going to lead to higher than average capital growth? So I'm excited for this on Hey, Jeremy, how I Jeremy 0:50can hire Ryan, Manuel, how are you? Ryan 0:52Yes, very good. I'm looking to buy a property in the very near future. And this is obviously something that I'm thinking about and considering when looking at suburbs is to say, okay, what's the suburb? Like? What are the schools like in the suburbs? have close to the shops have close to the transport, basically, trying to get an idea of, you know, why would people want to live here? And will they want to live here in the future? And does it have those desirable things, but I'm thinking you're going to tell me something different given? You've done the data analysis, and there's an article on this? Jeremy 1:26Yeah, good, good guess. Yeah, look, it's not a complete waste of time researching this sort of stuff. But there's, there's a very clear caveat to it. It's not automatic, that if you're buying in a suburb with good schools, shops, transport, all those amenities, that you're going to get above average capital growth. The key is whether that amenity is new or old. So the whole principle here is that if the suburb has all these great amenities, then it should be that properties in that suburb are very expensive, because this is a desirable place to live. But the price has already factored in the benefit of those amenities being there. Let's say for example, you get a new train station that comes into the suburb, what's going to happen is the suburb is now more desirable, people start paying more to have that, that benefit of being within say, walking distances, TradeStation. But after a few years, once it's factored into the price of properties in that suburb From then on, it's just it's business as usual, the capital growth carries on pretty much the same as any other suburb. So it's always a short term thing. And I did some research to look into some of these, these things like, like transport? Well, let's Ryan 2:49have a look.

Thankfully, they have Really Good Schools to show the way.

Hardcover – April 12, 2021 by James Tooley https://www.amazon.com/Really-Good-Schools-High-Caliber-Education/dp/1598133381/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1621647673&refinements=p_27%3AJames+Tooley&s=books&sr=1-1A distinguished scholar of education and the world’s foremost expert on private, low-cost innovative education, Tooley takes readers to some of the world’s most impoverished communities located in some of the world’s most dangerous places—including such war-torn countries as Sierra Leone, Liberia, and South Sudan. And there, in places where education “experts” fear to tread, Tooley finds thriving private schools that government, multinational NGOs, and even international charity officials deny exist. Why? Because the very existence of low-cost, high-quality private schools shatters the prevailing myth in the U.S., U.K., and western Europe that, absent government, affordable, high-quality schools for the poor could not exist. But they do. And they are ubiquitous and in high demand. Founded by unheralded, local educational entrepreneurs, these schools are proving that self-organized education is not just possible but flourishing—often enrolling far more students than “free” government schools do at prices within reach of even the most impoverished families. In the course of his analysis Tooley asks the key questions: ■ What proportion of poor children is served? ■ How good are the private schools? ■ What are the business models for these schools? ■ And can they be replicated and improved? The evidence is in. In poor urban and rural areas around the world, children in low-cost private schools outperform those in government schools. And the schools do so for a fraction of the per-pupil cost.

Dr. Amanda Lewis (Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools, co-authored with John Diamond) joins us for this third episode of our Brown v. Board at 67: The Stories We Tell Ourselves series. Dr. Lewis’s research takes her to a school that is desegregated on paper but segregated within the building. It is a school, like many, with “race neutral” policies that hide the very real racialized practices in the building. Add to that a dose of opportunity hoarding, and equitable policies become very difficult to institute. Brown v. Board focused on desegregating schools rather than integrating classrooms, but the story we tell about it is that it ended our racist school policies. While that may feel good, our “good intentions” do not absolve us from the impact of our actions.LINKS:Amanda Lewis Race In The Schoolyard Karolyn Tyson Integration InterruptedCharles Tilley on Opportunity HoardingRegister for the Integrated Schools Book Club in July.

Aurelio Montemayor has been organizing parents for decades. His work at the Intercultural Research Development Association, or IDRA, as a family engagement coordinator has focused on a specific type of parent engagement, known as parent empowerment. He defines the four ways parents are typically engaged in schools as:As free labor and fundraisers.Through education programs designed to help improve parentingThrough education programs designed for self improvementThrough meaningful parent / caregiver empowermentThis fourth form of parent engagement - parent empowerment, is the only form that he believes leads to school wide improvement for all kids. When done well, it can serve as an important tool for equity, but it requires that all parents feel empowered.I'm joined by parent board member, Sarah Becker, to discuss what this looks like in practice, and how people with racial or economic privilege, who often enter schools with outsized empowerment, can act as allies.LINKS:Intercultural Research Development AssociationChicano MovementNo Child Left BehindWhen Middle-Class Parents Choose Urban Schools: Class, Race, and the Challenge of Equity in Public Education by Lynn Posey-MaddoxDespite The Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools by John B.

Superpea Kylie has two 17-year old identical twin girls, one with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Kylie’s girls were born at 33 weeks, and things went relatively smoothly until peashoot Zoe was diagnosed at approximately nine months of age – five days before Christmas. Kylie met Mandy on the Essential Baby internet forum and they've been cyber friends ever since. Kylie shares her experiences of early intervention, coping with three kids under three, kinder and school. Zoe’s primary school did a fantastic job of supporting her, demonstrating how easy it can be to teach and encourage children to support and include peashoots. The school even invited a class from the special school, which was a magical day for all the students. Kylie talks about Zoe’s twin Izzy, who has made her sister a central part of her life and friendships. Her friends all want to meet Zoe and be part of her life as well. Zoe’s brother Jake is also very caring and particularly attentive to Zoe’s bus arrival and departure times. Kylie is reassured that Zoe will always be surrounded by the love of her siblings and family. Kylie also touches on Zoe’s experiences of surgery, NDIS challenges including still waiting for a bath hoist, homeschooling during lockdown and more. Listen and be heart-warmed by Kylie's positive outlook on it all.Other Pea Business:Book your tickets to the live show!Saturday 8 May at The Yarraville ClubSat 15 May at the Karralyka in Ringwood East Also, pre-order our forthcoming book The Invisible Life Of Us !

Pawan Dhingra's new book Hyper Education: Why Good Schools, Good Grades, and Good Behavior Are Not Enough (NYU Press, 2020) is an up-close evaluation of the competitive nature of the United States education system and the extra-curricular and co-curricular activities associated with them. Dhingra reveals the subculture of high-achievement in education and after-school learning centers, spelling bees, and math competitions that have spawned as a result of a competitive markets in higher education and in life. This world is one in which immigrant families compete with Americans to be intellectually high-achieving and expect their children to invest countless hours in studying and testing in order to gain an upper-hand in the believed meritocracy of American public education. This is a world where enrichment centers, like Kumon, are able to capitalize and make profitable gains from parents who enroll their children as early as three years of age. There are even families and teachers who avoid after-school academics that are getting swept up in the competitive nature of this subculture called hyper education. Dr. Dhingra draws from more than 100 in-depth interviews with teachers, tutors, principals, children, and parents for this study. He delves into the narratives that parents of elementary and junior high school provide about this phenomenon and examines the roles played by schools, families, and communities. He moves beyond the “Tiger Mom” caricature that is often given to Asian American and white families who practice hyper education and asks if it makes sense. This book provides a behind-the-scenes look at hyper education from parents who have their children participate in Scripps National Spelling Bee, math competitions, and other national competitions, as well as after school learning centers. Dr. Dhingra shows that parents observe an increasingly competitive market for higher education and perceive good schools, good grades, and good behavior to not be enough for their high-achieving students. Pawan Dhingra, Ph.D. is a Professor of American Studies at Amherst College. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He earned his doctoral degree in Public Policy and Public Administration from Walden University.
