    1. As previously noted, teachers had various levels of expertise, with credentials ranging from those with advanced degrees to, more commonly, those with little to no teaching experience, including recent Harlem Prep alumni.

      This portrait shows why staff diversity is more than a numbers goal. Students saw many ways to be an intellectual. A young teacher who found his calling, an Afrocentric scholar with a big public voice, alumni who came back to teach, immigrant educators, even Catholic nuns. Carpenter’s choice to value lived experience and commitment alongside degrees turned the school into both a mirror and a bridge for students.

    2. Harlem Prep became a prominent community effort that sought to reach the increasing youth population who desired

      What I take from this story is the power of design and belief working together. Harlem Prep did not wait for perfect conditions. It offered belonging, serious coursework, close mentoring, and a clear path to college. That combination is rare and it changes people. I wish more public schools used this playbook so students who leave school could return without shame and move quickly toward college. This is not just a tale from the past. It is a reminder that expectations, community, and smart structure can open doors for students who have been told they do not belong.

    3. school’s constant lack of resources and diverse population did not hinder it from sending hundreds of non-traditional students to many highly selective colleges nationwid

      Reading about Harlem Prep really moved me. As an international student, I know what it feels like to be seen as an outsider and then find a place that calls you a scholar. The image of a diploma ceremony in a hot Harlem gym and a school inside an old supermarket shows how little the building matters when adults truly believe in you. John Bell’s words about turning strain into peace stayed with me. They sound like someone reclaiming a future that others had already written off.

    1. Throwing them to one side I found the stones which earlier I hadtaken down from the wall. Quickly I began to build the wall again,

      Montressor reveals to the reader that he was the one who took down the wall in the first place.

    2. f oRTunaTo had huRT me athousand times and I had sufferedquietly

      Other than the fact that he was mocked by Fortunato, we don't really know any other reason why Montressor wants to seek revenge on him.

    3. This, I knew, wasenough to make it certain that they would all leave as soon as my backwas turned

      This seems interesting, because it tells the reader something about Montressor. Could it be that the servants loathe Montressor so much that they'd leave the palace vulnerable, even when he explicitly tells them not to leave?

    4. C a s k

      The word cask is a container used to store liquids. It is like a barrel, but Poe must've picked this word for another meaning as well. A Cask is another word for Coffin, which is interesting if we consider the ending of this short story.

    1. Building on the two examples that we have given,in this section, we provide ideas for teachers inter-ested in sustaining their own students’ communitylanguages through code-meshing while also growingstudents’ competencies in DAE. Specifically, we dis-cuss the use of mentor texts, remixing monolingualtexts using code-meshing, and principles of assess-ing students’ code-meshed writing.

      Strategies to implement code meshing to students.

    2. Over the past decade, educators have paid more at-tention to multilingual students’ translanguagingpractices (how bilingual and bidialectal studentsdynamically move across and among languages)and how teachers may recognize and honor stu-dents’ dynamic language practices in the classroom(Baker-Bell, 2013; O. García & Kleifgen, 2010; Pacheco& Miller, 2016). As noted by Pacheco and Miller andby García and Kleifgen, translanguaging pedagogiesencourage students to recruit all of their linguis-tic resources in literacy tasks, rather than separat-ing languages. Indeed, recent research has shownthat such pedagogies can support students in morecomplex literacy practices and cognitive tasks thanthey could accomplish monolingually

      Research shows students can do more advanced reading and thinking when they are allowed to use all their languages, not just English. Translanguaging: using multiple languages together naturally when speaking or writing. Monolingually: using only one language.

    3. Young and Martinez (2011) described code-meshing broadly as the blending of minoritizedlanguages with DAE, encompassing both oral andwritten language practices. Others, however, haveunderstood code-meshing more narrowly as a writ-ing practice in which languag-es are intentionally integrated,particularly within sentences(Canagarajah, 2011). Althoughboth understandings have mer-it, we focus on the latter giv-en our emphasis on writingin this article. Nevertheless,both of these understandingsof code-meshing differ fromcode-switching.

      Code meshing means mixing different languages or dialects together. Some see code meshing as all languages, speaking and writing, while some see it as mixing languages only in writing.

    4. The code-meshing used by Jacobi, Ms. Raniya, andAna and Clarita disrupts the common assumptionthat AAL, Spanish, and DAE are completely separateor incompatible semantic and syntactic systems.

      Proof that different languages are able to be used together.

    5. Ana and Clarita also wove more Spanish, includ-ing entire sentences, into their narrative as well asSpanish and English speech descriptors, such as“responded Tío Germán” (p. 1), “shouted el representa-dor” (p. 2), and “Se preguntó Sofía entre ella misma” (p. 3;“Sofía asked herself”)

      The two students pruposefully mix spanish into their sentences for a more authentic read.

    6. These terms are difficult to translatein culturally meaningful ways, so presenting themin Spanish adds to the cultural authenticity ofthe text.

      Keeping the original words makes it feel more authentic.

    7. Garza’s code-meshing is targeted in that virtual-ly all instances involve substituting Spanish nounsfor English ones and surrounding those words withcontextual clues for the benefit of monolingualEnglish readers.

      code meshing can keep cultural identity but still have other audiences understand by giving context clues.

    8. During these conferences, Ms. Raniya also drewstudents’ attention to the fact that she was writingdown their words. She reread the entire card backto them, sometimes pointing to the words as sheread them, and asked them if they liked how thecard sounded. Students enjoyed seeing and hearingtheir words, true to the way they were spoken. Ms.Raniya also took the opportunity to teach studentsconventions and show how she would add punctua-tion to the writing when necessary.

      Students were allowed and also enjoyed having the freedom of writing what they wanted and hearing it. The students were also taught how to change it when neccessary.

    9. Jacobi’s language choices also indicated an aware-ness of audience, potentially on both Jacobi’s part andMs. Raniya’s. Because the card was for Jacobi’s moth-er, it made sense for him to use the language that hewould use with his mother.

      code meshing was intential here as Jacobi knew who his audience was, his mom and teacher.

    10. writing Mother’s Day cardswas one example of how Ms. Raniya created spacefor multilingual students’ code-meshing in her lit-eracy instruction.

      The teacher was able to support Jacobi, a AAL and DAE speaker.

    11. Although multilingual students’ writing andcode-meshing have been the focus of recent research(Gillanders, 2018; Miller & Rowe, 2014; Soltero-González& Butvilofsky, 2016), teachers may be less familiarwith how to integrate code-meshing into writing in-struction.

      Teachers are willing to support multilingual students but execution is difficult.

    12. In contrast to code-switching, code-meshing in-volves the intentional incorporation of more thanone language within writing to “exploit and blendthose differences” (

      code meshing is mixing languages when writing.

    13. This is despite the fact that languagevarieties such as AAL are used in a wide array ofcontexts, both formal and informal

      AAL is used in many settings which is different than what sterotypes depict.

    14. The pervasiveness of deficit assumptions regard-ing language varieties other than DAE is evidenceof the inseparability of language and power.

      The judging of "wrong" languages shows that language is deemed worthy by power and those who have power.

    15. Similarly, multilingual students are often subjectedto subtractive pedagogies because of similar deficitassumptions regarding bilingualism and students’home languages

      Schools often try to “subtract” or remove students’ home languages instead of supporting the use.

    16. Jayda’s and Ms. Raniya’s code-meshing is an excep-tion rather than the norm for how teachers respondto marginalized languages in the classroom (Younget al., 2014), particularly in writing. There is a com-mon and long-standing myth that language learn-ing is a zero- sum game, in which learners havefinite cognitive space available for language learning(Grosjean, 2012; Ramírez, Yuen, & Ramey, 1991).

      Schools still enforce the use of Standard English, code meshing is rarely utilized. There's a myth that learning multiple languages/dialects confuse student and prevents them from learning Standard English.

    17. In both responses, Jayda employed the AAL gram-matical rule in which the third-person singular formis implied based on context and thus does not requirethe verb to end in an s. Ms. Raniya was intentionalin writing Jayda’s words exactly as she spoke them,meshing together both AAL and Dominant AmericanEnglish in the card. We use the term Dominant AmericanEnglish (DAE) rather than Standard English to reflect howdominant sociopolitical factors influence what is con-sidered standard (Paris, 2011). In this article, we dis-rupt standardizing mythologies regarding languageand language varieties and offer suggestions for howteachers can build on students’ linguistic repertoires(including AAL, Spanish, and other languages) by us-ing code-meshing—the intentional integration of mul-tiple codes or languages in writing (Canagarajah, 2011;Young, Barret, Young-Rivera, & Lovejoy, 2014)—to sup-port writing development.

      The authors explain that Jayda’s grammar is wrong due to the rules but not "wrong". DAE (Dominant American English) is introduced to be more inclusive and to show that "standard" English is socially constructed.

    18. The writ-ten portion of the card includes sentence startersin a standardized English, such as “My mom likes tomake ___” and “My mom says ___.” When Ms. Raniyaread the sentence starter “My mom is the prettiestwhen ___,” Jayda finished the sentence with “she getclothes on and go outside and barbeque.” In anothersentence starter, “My mom is funny when she ___,”Jayda responded with “tickle me.”

      The teacher lets the students personality shine through by writing her words exactly spoken, instead of correcting her and limiting her identity.

    1. In conclusion, the use of programs that indicate plagiarism percentages (based on the concept of plagiarism), similarities, or AI, without prior analysis of the manuscript's quality, represents an editorial attitude based on new technology guidelines, which do not determine the quality of manuscripts, and should not be a condition that prevents the submission of research papers to reviewers who analyze the quality of the report. Jesus A. Mosquera
    2. AI can assist researchers in the manuscript writing process, improving writing style and language, but not in the interpretation, analysis, and logical conclusions of the results found, which must be carried out by the researchers.
    3. The correct use of AI can be beneficial for scientific publications, provided that natural intelligence establishes the order of what is reported by the AI
    4. The editorial committees of various scientific journals have established plagiarism, similarities to other works, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as rejection criteria for research papers, without prior expert review.
    1. Yann Braga | Storybook Vitest | ViteConf 2025

      One thing that is nice about Storybook is that it collects various testing tools like Chromatic and Vitest and integrates them into one unified testing platform. Another nice thing about Storybook is that it works with, but doesn't replace, Vitest. I'm sure that some developers would be more comfortable with Vitest than Storybook. Storybook streamlines the testing experience by writing code and pinpointing errors. I also thought it was cool that Braga showed how the size of Storybook reduced over time despite increasing its functionality. It teaches me that powerful applications do not need to be big. Finally, it was good to review the three elements of components: interaction, visuals, and accessibility. You can't have one without the others. There's no use having a button that works if it doesn't look right and not everyone can use it.

    2. Yann Braga | Storybook Vitest | ViteConf 2025

      The tight feedback loop (edit story → run test → see results in Storybook) is excellent for DX. It encourages testing early and often, basically from the same place you develop components.

      Given that Storybook 9 is built for this testing paradigm, this seems like a forward-looking model for UI development + testing.

    1. By using Artificial Intelligence based technology in an effectiveand ethical way, being supported by teachers and policymakers, students at theFaculty of Economic Sciences, University of Oradea can acquire the necessarycommunication skills in Business English in order to be successful in today’sinterconnected world
    2. Our research, undergone through semi-structured interview, inthe qualitative phase, as an instrument for data collection, has revealed the fact that42% of the interviewed students use Artificial Intelligence in improving BusinessEnglish communication skills
    3. In order to examine and get a clear image of the usage of Artificial Intelligence inlearning foreign languages, having clear reference to Business English, we havechosen key informants that could provide relevant information, being chosenfollowing the inclusion criteria: 1. Economics students who have English selectionexam scores above 80 points; 2. Economics students who have taken Introductionto Business English Course during the first semester.
    4. The appearance of Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized not only the students’traditional methods of learning but also the teachers’ teaching methods, bringing newideas and new opportunities to all aspects of the teaching/learning process
    5. Therefore, this study comes as ahelpful perspective regarding the students’ opinion in using Artificial Intelligencebased technology and how they can help in developing their communication skills.
    6. The lack of confidence andanxiety about making errors are only two of the main reasons to take intoconsideration when talking about communication in Business English.
    7. Business English is a complex field which requires a lot of practice in order to bemastered. The focus of the course is communication. Since the students nowadayshave proved to be digital literate from an early age, the use of the artificialintelligence-based tools in teaching have shown an increased interest in the learningprocess
    1. Another notable advancement in this review is the incorporation of research addressing the ethical and fairness concerns surrounding AI in MH care. The earlier review identified these as key areas of concern, particularly regarding algorithmic bias and transparency.
    2. he findings continue to highlight the promise of AI technologies in addressing missed care, alleviating clinicians' workloads, improving diagnostic accuracy, and addressing workforce challenges. However, the newly reviewed studies bring further insights and raise further complexities, particularly concerning the real-world implementation, ethical considerations, and the need for more rigorous evaluations of AI systems in diverse MH contexts.
    3. Ultimately, the research articles convey a sense of cautious optimism about CDSS's potential to transform MH care. They highlight the opportunities presented by data-driven insights while acknowledging the importance of addressing ethical concerns and prioritising patient well-being. The articles suggest that, by carefully navigating these complexities, the field can harness the power of technology to deliver more personalised, effective, and equitable MH care for all.
    4. Beyond technical challenges, the articles also underscore the importance of addressing ethical considerations, such as data privacy and the potential for bias.
    5. While the potential benefits of CDSS are widely acknowledged, the research articles also address the challenges and ethical considerations associated with their development and implementation. A key concern is ensuring the accuracy, fairness, and clinical utility of these systems.
    6. ne study utilised this model to identify high-risk patients and recommended preventative interventions for clinicians, with a specific emphasis on refining decision thresholds through decision curve analysis to optimise sensitivity while minimising the risk of overtreatment (Liu et al. 2024).
    7. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) for MH, including those incorporating AI, show promise in improving patient care. Overall, the results of this subsequent literature review highlight the potential of CDSS to improve MH care but emphasise the importance of rigorous evaluation, debiasing efforts, and ongoing monitoring to ensure fairness, accuracy, and clinical utility.
    8. However, the importance of maintaining clinician oversight remains a central theme, ensuring that AI tools enhance, rather than replace, human judgement.
    9. This updated review revisits the original research aims (Higgins et al. 2023), with a particular focus on how AI can complement and augment clinicians' decision-making processes. The findings highlight the potential of AI-driven clinical decision support systems (CDSS) to enable clinicians to make more informed, accurate, and timely decisions, ultimately reducing instances of missed care.
    10. Healthcare systems now face the challenge of integrating these powerful tools into clinical workflows while maintaining the highest standards of care, medical ethics, and community benefit.
    11. The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have significantly expanded the technological capabilities available to healthcare systems, particularly with the emergence of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT.
    12. While AI-driven CDSS holds significant promise for optimising MH care, sustainable improvements require the integration of AI solutions with systemic workforce enhancements.
    13. New evidence highlights the importance of clinician trust, system transparency, and ethical concerns, including algorithmic bias and equity, particularly for vulnerable populations. Advancements in AI model complexity, such as multimodal learning systems, demonstrate improved predictive capacity but underscore the ongoing challenge of balancing interpretability with innovation.
    1. Following the intuitive distinction between knowledge and understanding, we argue that understanding is the superior epistemic aim for higher education because it constitutes a cognitive achievement of the sort we seek in education — proof an individual is developing as a cognitive agent, able to draw upon cognitive effort and skill to solve problems.
    2. In both cases, the cognitive skills on display are memorization and recall. Both students might have knowledge (or the appearance of it) at that moment, but the assessment does little to gauge whether they understand the material.
    3. Given the ease with which students can acquire, or appear to acquire, knowledge via ChatGPT, higher education needs a revised epistemic aim,20 specifically one that constitutes a cognitive achievement — signaling an agent's cognitive development via effort and skill — and that is not easily undermined or acquired by using generative AI tools.
    4. AI panic: we aim for students to develop as cognitive agents who can demonstrate their understanding, but what we demand of them via assessments is only knowledge, something we now fear they can feign (but never acquire) with the use of AI. Simply put, if ChatGPT can complete our assessments, they are poor assessments to begin with, i.e., they are not an adequate gauge of the cognitive development we aim for in education.
    5. Consider two students taking a math quiz. They encounter the problem, “What is the square root of 9?” For whatever reason, one student opted to memorize the answers to specific math problems in case they came up in a test, while another focused on learning the mathematical operation. Both give the same correct answer to the question, but one has mere knowledge, as far as they know the answer to the problem — the square root of nine is three — but the other has understanding. They arrive at the answer by completing the operation. Now, we ask, which student has a better grasp of the square root of nine, or math in general?
    6. All things equal, the student who understands the mathematical operation could complete the square root function for other numbers. Their understanding spans beyond the knowledge of a particular fact.
    7. The cognitive success in one case is the result of memory and luck, the other a result of cognitive effort and agency in combining what one knows with one's understanding of the game of chess, the other player's moves, the timing, flow, and strategy of play, and one's objective. Drawing on the network of relationships between these pieces of knowledge and skills to successfully win a chess game does not merely demonstrate that one knows the rules and strategy needed to play, but that one understands these and can apply them to the game.
    8. Given the inevitable use of generative AI, like ChatGPT, on campus, we maintain that understanding is the superior epistemic aim for education.
    9. Rather than immediately reaching for practical solutions to address current fears of ChatGPT on campus, we argue that campus leaders, instructors, and taskforce members should first pause and revisit what it is they hope to achieve through education, lest their responses lead further away from guarding what is actually at stake in generative AI use in higher education. We hope to have provided a roadmap for examining the educational aims at the heart of the debate over tackling ChatGPT in education that is insightful and will be instructive for campus leaders in their pursuit of a valuable and viable response to generative AI on campus.
    10. The threat of students using ChatGPT highlights the primary pitfalls of knowledge as an epistemic aim of education, and by extension the object of assessment, and bolsters the case for pursuing understanding. And, in reviewing the advantages of understanding as an epistemic aim, we have revealed a pathway for responding to the threat of generative AI on campus. Adopting understanding as higher education's epistemic aim over knowledge both mandates and allows for curriculum revision in favor of assessments that can be completed with the assistance of ChatGPT, but not via ChatGPT alone.
    11. AI tools cannot give you understanding primarily because it is not something that is simply received or acquired without some effort from the agent. Thus, an essay prompt that can easily be answered by AI is assessing for knowledge, not understanding. In other words, if generative AI can complete the assessment for the student, without the required cognitive effort on the part of the student, then that is a bad assessment that is aimed at assessing knowledge, not understanding. In the case of the essay, it is a bad essay prompt if ChatGPT can convincingly complete it without any input, fine tuning, or correction from the student.
    12. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, we suggest, merely bring to the fore what has likely been an issue for some time: that existing assessments do not gauge students' cognitive achievements.
    13. This is the sort of cognitive ability we aim to develop through education. We seek cognitive effort, development, and achievement. In theory, educational assessments gauge our progress toward this aim, i.e., whether students are developing as cognitive agents. Too often, though, assessments measure mere knowledge, not understanding.
    14. If you can draw upon the knowledge that you do have, and make connections between these pieces of information, you can generally make up for the gap in your knowledge, i.e., that you do not know where the train station is in this particular city. Solving this problem by drawing on the network of things you do know is a cognitive achievement: you do not simply have knowledge in this case, rather, you display cognitive effort and skill to infer and make connections between what you do know to make up for what you do not. You draw upon and demonstrate your understanding.
    15. Following the intuitive distinction between knowledge and understanding, we argue that understanding is the superior epistemic aim for higher education because it constitutes a cognitive achievement of the sort we seek in education — proof an individual is developing as a cognitive agent, able to draw upon cognitive effort and skill to solve problems.
    16. Certainly, one used ChatGPT to generate their summary. Still, any student could just as easily have watched a YouTube video, found a study guide with content summaries online, or read a Wikipedia page on photosynthesis to acquire theirs. Both the ChatGPT summary and lecture-slide summary will likely pass the assessment. The students have both demonstrated knowledge of photosynthesis. It is not knowledge they compiled through effort or skill, or that we can guarantee will persist beyond the context of the assessment, but they demonstrate at that moment that they possess knowledge.
    17. This renders our assessments less able to gauge students' development as cognitive agents. Even when students retain information acquired from ChatGPT after the assessment, simply possessing knowledge of a course subject does not confirm that their education was successful, regardless of whether the knowledge was acquired in class or through ChatGPT.
    18. In passing the assessment, it appears the student learned something, i.e., that they acquired and retained information through cognitive effort and intellectual skill. But, if they used generative AI, or if it is possible that they did, our assessments are no longer reliable indicators of students' cognitive effort and development as cognitive agents. We essentially get a false positive that they have developed.
    19. Accordingly, a reasonable institutional response would be to revise academic honor codes to include specific clauses on using generative AI like ChatGPT. Higher education institutions might also lean into educating students in intellectual virtues, stressing the importance of academic integrity. Both responses are valuable and justifiable reactions to the threat of pervasive AI use on campus. However, these responses are only sufficient if student integrity is the sole concern.
    20. While discourse in higher education surrounding generative AI focuses on the need for an adequate response to the tool's use on campus, we argue that an adequate response requires examining what exactly in education is at stake in AI use in higher education.
    21. While some argue that the tool essentially is the new calculator — inevitable and necessarily worth incorporating — others classify it as an existential threat to the future of higher education.
    22. They can answer questions, produce outlines, compose poems, write computer code, and generate argumentative essays that pass for college-level writing. The generated responses are unique: they are not plagiarized — copied directly from a human-written text — nor are they recycled or boilerplate (e.g., using the same prompt can produce distinct responses).4 This makes detecting ChatGPT-generated text (products of generative AI) difficult, though some have found its sentence patterns to be complex and varied than human prose.
    23. We conclude that the advent and continued advancement of AI tools bolsters the case for understanding over knowledge as an aim of education. We argue that the epistemological distinction between the two is informative and directive in articulating what is at stake in AI use in education and what might constitute a strategic response.
    24. We propose that generative AI tools like ChatGPT threaten higher education's commitment to pursuing cognitive achievement. Then, we argue that generative AI tools undercut knowledge-based learning goals and corresponding assessments because knowledge is easily acquired and demonstrated without the corresponding cognitive effort and achievements.
    25. This new type of generative artificial intelligence technology (generative AI) can produce written prose that passes for basic college-level writing. Since then, workshops, institutional task forces, and committees have been created across the higher education system to address generative AI use on campus.
    26. Although AI can enhance and aid students in developing understanding, it can neither provide them with understanding nor give the appearance of understanding without student effort.

      A Stanford article that gives a summary of modern colonialism. it goes into depths and complexity of colonialism. It talks about how it is a practice of domination, which involves the subjugation of one people to another.

    2. Margaret Kohn and Kavita Reddy.

      The summary of this website is : Modern colonialism, especially since the 16th century, has enabled European countries to export populations and establish permanent colonies to multiple continents (the Americas, Australia, Africa, and parts of Asia) and exert political, economic, and territorial domination over these regions, thanks to technological advancements in maritime navigation and transoceanic migration. The details in it: The difference between colonialism and imperialism: Imperialism can refer to direct control (governance) or indirect control (through agents or economic dependence) — both can be expansionist and exploitative.

    1. What if social media sites were governed by their users instead of by shareholders (e.g., governed by the subjugated instead of the colonialists)?

      If social media sites were governed by users instead of shareholders I truly believe that would alter the digital world drastically. As users would curate and change the platform to align with user experience and generate platforms that are grounded in amplifying/regenerating user experience. Compared to shareholders where there only concern is generating revenue.

      This source goes into depths of the defintion of what capatialsm is . Capitailsim is an "economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market." Mainly expressing how a capatialst economy drives for a competitive market and work ethic amongst society.

      The idea that parents shouldn’t lie about anything is easy to take literally. There are obviously things that shouldn’t be told to children that might cause more harm than good. I personally think that with smaller things such as the example of pretending to take candy from their kids should be stopped. Unfortunately, the world is so complicated and huge that making kids think about it at such a young age would be unfair to them.

    3. Merriam-Webster. Definitio

      This is the definition of capitalism, from the webster dictionary, Capitalism is an economic system whose main characteristics include: Capital goods (such as factories, equipment, land, and other means of production) are owned by private individuals or corporations. Investment decisions are primarily made by private individuals, rather than by the government. The prices, production, and distribution of goods are mainly determined through a competitive free market. One detail is that Capitalism is often compared to economic systems such as communism or socialism.

    4. [s15]

      Due to the incentive for innovation being profit, ultimately it will come eventually at the expense of the quality of the platform. The design of Tik Tok is specifically rigged to maximize the engagement of the user and that maximizes their profit but comes at the expense of that user's experience on the platform. I think that a similar thing has happened to Twitter, Instagram, and really all other social media platforms that make their money from engagement.

    1. In other words, capitalism is a system where: Individuals or corporations own businesses These business owners make what they want and set their own prices. They compete with other businesses to convince customers to buy their products. These business owners then hire wage laborers [s2] at predetermined rates for their work, while the owners get the excess business profits or losses.

      The USA is a capitalist economy here. I believe capitalism is a great way of promoting healthy competition and high efficient work ethics amongst specify. It allows for personal freedom and ownership of ones land/job.

    2. Capitalism is: “an economic

      I totally agree with it, I am majoring in economic, and nowadays, the market is driven by private or corporate ownership. Many countries are capitalism, and as long as we want economic to grow, it easily became a capitalist country.Capitalism may lead to increasingly wider class distinctions and a growing gap between the rich and the poor. However, it appears to be a major trend at present.

      I find it interesting how social media impacts people mental state but also their ideologies that impact the world. The fact that tech companies are able to control so much of our lives such as how we think about certain issues such as gender equality and homosexuality is strange. There isn’t enough customization in order to truly form your own opinions but also notice other ideologies in order to truly form a complete viewpoint.

    2. Luddite. December 20

      This article talks about: In the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, new textile machinery began to be widely used. These machines could be operated by workers with fewer or lower skills, thus replacing or weakening the position of traditional skilled workers. Simultaneously, Britain was experiencing the Napoleonic Wars, and economic hardship exacerbated working-class discontent. In this context, workers believed that factory owners were using new machines to replace skilled labor "in a fraudulent and deceptive manner," suppress wages, and produce inferior goods.

I’m glad that I can further understand how they control my emotions and mental state considering how much time I spend on the platforms. It is helpful in it’s communication and spreading information, but is easily manipulated in order to take over how someone thinks.

    1. ognitive Coaches are committed to learning. They continually resist complacency, and they share both the humility and the pride of admitting that there is more to learn. They dedicate themselves to serving others, and they set aside their ego needs, devoting their energies to enhancing others’ resourcefulness. They commit their time and energies to make a difference by enhancing interdepen- dence, illuminating situations from varied perspectives, and striv- ing to bring consciousness to intentions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and their effect on others and the environment.

      Although I consider myself a coach, cognitive works has been difficult to align with the teachers we have. I think i get to do this as a coaching teams more than individually.

    1. Accordingly, one of the teacher’s principal roles is to support, or scaf- fold, students to acquire knowledge and skills that they cannot learn on their own but can learn with targeted assistance. A teacher can provide sev- eral kinds of assistance, as can peers: Teachers can provide a model to show a learner how something is done, or they can demonstrate a process or skill both physically and by talking aloud about how an expert thinks. A teacher can also assist by breaking up a task into smaller units or by reorganizing the sequence of a complex task.

      Providing Access to students learning through scaffolding is part of teachers need to plan for. I have been supporting teachers to plan for scaffolds so our multilingual learners can access grade level content.

      This is very goofy. I have a hard time believing any of this is true, although perhaps he did witness some court cases and felt inspired to craft a tale. Its interesting that he mentions Arabian Nights because this reads so much like an old tale typical of such works.

      This was a period of time where England was known as the empire on which the sun never sets. Military might and the Industrial Revolution turned England into a juggernaut of powerhouses in the world theater. Little did the world knew that it was the labor of poor children that made the English Industrial Evolution possible as able bodied men were busy fighting. Orphaned children from cities and parishes were contracted from city officials to factory owners to work until they reach 21 or 24 years old. There were no one who fought for their welfare or rights. The children worked 12 to 16 hours a day with little substantial food, hence "their pale and sunken faces". The children were essentially slaves.

    2. “But, no !” say the children, weeping faster,       ” He is speechless as a stone ; And they tell us, of His image is the master       Who commands us to work on.

      Richard Oastler, a critique of the Victorian factory system wrote: "Poor infants! ye are indeed sacrificed at he shrine of avarice, without even the solace of the negro slave; ye are no more than he is, free agents; yet ye are compelled to work as long as necessity of your needy parents may require, or the cold blooded avarice of your worse than barbarian masters may demand!…ye are doomed to labour from morning to night for one who cares not how soon your weak and tender frames are stretched to breaking!" Indeed, children were often contracted to factories to work until they reach 21 years old for very little money. Even the factory reformers that called for change, for better work hours, conditions and for education, did not ask for the abolition of child labor. Families could not survive without the supplemental wages of the children. Textile factories could not function without the nimble children darting between running machines to reattach broken threads being woven (Nardinelli). The factory owners were like slave owners who invested as little as they can and whip the most work out of the children as they can.

    3. ” Two words, indeed, of praying we remember ;       And at midnight’s hour of harm, — ‘Our Father,’ looking upward in the chamber,       We say softly for a charm.

      One of the impetus for EBB to write "Cry of the Children" was the fact the the poor working children had no knowledge of God (Bouchard). They were separated from their parents at an early age as all members of the family had to work, sometimes at different locations. The normal, structured life of a nucleus family is absent and no one taught the children religion. Working from 12 to 16 hour days was another deterrent for children to accomplish any learning (Alexandrova). Like EBB says in her poem (lines 67-68), the children would rather sleep if given a meadow than play.

    4. For, all day, we drag our burden tiring,       Through the coal-dark, underground —

      This article has photos of the book, the poem, and images from the survey of children working in mines relating to "Cry of The Children".

      https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YdWLxoHYR1E

      This video shows how close, cramp, and claustrophobic the mines would be. Also, the ground is sometimes lined with rails, other times consists purely of mud and even imbedded with large rocks. This little clip is an attempt to let the readers see the harsh conditions the children working in mines had to deal with daily.

      Elizabeth Browning was friends and frequent correspondent with Richard Hengist Horne. RH Horne was the assistant commissioner to an inquiry that reported the "Physical & Moral Conditions of the Children and Young Persons Employed in Mines and Manufacture." The horrific conditions that Horne related to EBB spurred her to write "Cry of the Children" (Robertson).

    5. “True,” say the children, “it may happen       That we die before our time! Little Alice died last year her grave is shapen       Like a snowball, in the rime.                                                                             40 We looked into the pit prepared to take her —    Was no room for any work in the close clay:

      How poignantly EBB describes Alice's grave: "…no room for any work in the close clay." It makes one feel as if Work chases the child to the grave, stands there, looks down at the pit, and ponders if there is room for it to join little Alice-as if death is not escape enough. In reality, Victorian children do suffer many injuries and violent deaths in work related accidents. Take chimney sweepers, for example. Usually little boys 5 to 6 years old were employed to clean out narrow, twisted chimneys. They came out scraped and bleeding from the tight confines and suffer long term breathing problems due to soot and creosotes. If the child got stuck, the master chimney sweeper would light a fire in the fire place to encourage the child to get out faster. This little tale of the chimney sweeper speaks of the Victorians' general attitudes toward child labor (Alexandrova).

    6. But the young, young children, O my brothers,       Do you ask them why they stand Weeping sore before the bosoms of their mothers,       In our happy Fatherland?

      EBB's use of "my brothers" is strategic. She is not passing judgement, but rather, rallying society. By placing herself along side with her countrymen, she effectively "elbows" her neighbors in saying, "I don't find this acceptable. Do you?" Like the opening quote, EBB corners her readers in a position where they couldn't endorse the current treatment of the children because that would make them look uncaring and unconscionable.

    7. The young lambs are bleating in the meadows ;    The young birds are chirping in the nest; The young fawns are playing with the shadows;    The young flowers are blowing toward the west— But the young, young children, O my brothers,       They are weeping bitterly!

      The deliberate refrain of "young" nature and the emphasized double "young, young children" point out the irony and tragedy of how life shouldn't be for these children. While nature frolic and play, the human children are weeping bitterly. In fact, some poems in the Victorian period use this juxtaposition of the free natural world versus the state of the oppressive poor. Thomas Hood's "Song of the Shirt" has these lines: "Oh! but to breathe the breath Of the cowslip and primrose sweet--- With the sky above my head, And the grass beneath my feet". Gerald Massey wrote in "Cry of the Unemployed": "Heaven droppeth down with manna still in many a golden shower, And feeds the leaves with fragrant breath, with silver dew, the flower; There's honeyed fruit for bee and bird, with bloom laughs out the tree". Nature is plentiful, beautiful, and free while humans suffer from hunger and fetters of their working class.

    8. They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, —

      Although the working class had very little of worldly goods, its family unit was quite close. One main reason was they had to share a small space as living quarters. Another reason was children often working alongside their parents. All the children were viewed as a potential source of income so the family strived together as a unit to make ends meet. The close knit working class family was a sharp contrast to the wealthy Victorians. Usually their children were left in care of nannies or governesses. The higher echelon of society had little time to spare for their kids yet had high expectations of them. Even Winston Churchill said he could recall every hug he ever had from his mother.

      The difference between the classes here is not immediately discernible for modern readers with just the line describing children leaning on their mothers. In Victorian England, the rich and middle-class did not handle their own children.

    1. I trust not to thy phantom bliss,

      The phantom that the speaker explicitly states she doesn’t trust is imagination. This ghost that haunts the speaker pushes her to the edges of society where she would feel the effects of loneliness that connect can only be soothed by hope that is birthed from death, as Steven Vine states in his essay about how the ghostly bliss “betrays the self’s desire” and is “born from the death that it is supposed to overcome” (107).

      Although I agree with this quote, I wonder about coaching or mentoring teachers whose presence is a struggle for them to move foward on their teaching. This has been one area that has become difficult to coach as I am noticing that they will default on doing the same errors even after coaching. I can see how this can tight to growing students and up to now I have not given up, yet it is a struggle either I need to find the way to coach teachers who struggle with presence or it is just difficult to coach this.

    1. Both ethics and law are normative frameworks, i.e. theydefine how people ought to act. Ethics and law are oftencomplementary; for example, a legal decree might requirea person to do what is ethically required (such as refrainfrom harming others). However, something can be legaland yet conflict with ethical standards

      This paragraph gives insight into how even if an action is legal, it might still conflict with ethical principles. Therefore, ethical reasoning is important to guide behaviour when the law is silent, insufficient, or morally questionable.

    1. Robert Francis Prevost – who has chosen the papal name Leo XIV – may not be the Latin American Jesuit wildcard that his predecessor, Pope Francis, was, but his election is similarly historic.

      This frames the story early on around prominence and timeliness. The story puts an emphasis on the historic nature of his election to the papacy, while immediately contrasting him with the late Pope Francis. The word "wildcard" here suggests unpredictability. Nobody expect him, an American pope, to be selected for this huge role.

    2. In the figure of the 69-year-old former head of the Augustinian order, the Roman Catholic church has its very first US leader.

      The emphasis on "first US leader" puts an emphasis on the unusualness of the matter and proximity for American readers.

    3. “No matter how many problems he has, he maintains good humour and joy,” the Rev Fidel Purisaca Vigil, the communications director for Prevost’s old diocese in Chiclayo, told the Associated Press.

      The personal testimony here appeals to the news value of human interest. It portrays Prevost as approachable and resilient. It gives him a sense of warmth and stability...something very easing to the Catholic population.

    4. As he addressed the world from the loggia of St Peter’s Basilica on Thursday, Pope Leo XIV’s first words were: “Peace be with you.”

      The simplicity of “Peace be with you” resonates with audiences and sets a tone for his gentle leadership narrative.

      Deeper Learning: It is important to elevate the need of teachers to bring practices, instruction that can replicate real life situation that will benefit the students. We need to figure out how to support students thinking, by brining prior knowledge, building background knowledge. Also another support is scaffolds that support students thinking and language. We also need to be monitoring along the the way to see how students are progressing. I do want to acknowledge that it is not easy and it requires lots of preparation and practice.

    1. Childhood Friends, Not Moms, Shape Attachment Styles Most
      • A 30-year study found that childhood friendships have a bigger impact on adult attachment styles than relationships with parents.
      • Attachment theory originally emphasized parental influence, but this study shows mothers influence general attachment style only slightly (2-3% variance).
      • Early friendships significantly influence adult romantic and friendship attachment anxiety and avoidance (4-11% variance).
      • Quality childhood friendships teach give-and-take dynamics that shape how adults form and maintain relationships.
      • The study followed 705 participants from childhood through age 26-31, analyzing parent-child and peer relationships.
      • Positive early friendships correlate with more secure adult romantic and platonic relationships.
      • The research highlights the importance of peer relationships in social and emotional development over family interactions.
      • Choosing positive and supportive friends during childhood contributes to healthier adult attachments.

    1. Vision in the Digital Age
      • Myopia (nearsightedness) is increasingly common, with serious risks for high myopia such as legal blindness, retinal detachment, and cataracts.
      • It results primarily from the eyeball growing too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina, leading to poor distance vision.
      • Environmental influences, especially increased indoor time and near work with screens, have driven the rapid rise of myopia in recent decades.
      • Digital screens stress the eyes by forcing continuous near focus and lack of depth cues, causing accommodative spasms and vision strain.
      • Preventative actions include spending at least 2 hours outdoors daily, regularly focusing on distant objects, and practicing the 20-20-20 rule during screen time.
      • Corrective solutions such as glasses, contacts, and LASIK improve vision but do not address underlying eye structure changes or risks associated with high myopia.
      • Claims of myopia reversal exist but lack widespread scientific validation.
      • The prevalence of myopia and reliance on corrective lenses is projected to grow drastically, making vision protection urgent in the digital age.
      • Ongoing research and awareness about vision health and behavioral changes are crucial to mitigate the myopia epidemic.
    1. Notice Neptune, though, Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity, Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!

      Neptune Taming a Seahorse

      The Duke's final words being about another artpiece he has demonstrates how little he cared for the Duchess. The need to brag about more art being made for him not only shows his ability to display power, but it also shows a reflection of his true intentions. The bronze cast is of Neptune (a god) taming a seahorse--this reflects how the Duke views himself: a god taming a lesser creature; as he sees himself as a god, he will inevitably treat the new duchess similarly. There was never going to be a dual-respect and understanding between him and the Duchess as she was as useful as a seahorse to him. His calculated shift from a painting of his "beloved" wife, to a bronze cast displaying a feat of dominance demonstrates the Duke's ability for social politics and directs attention away from the gruesome end of the Duchess.

    2. My Last

      While looking up the Duchess, Lucrezia de' Medici, came a poem called "My Next Duchess" by a priest named Lawrence Jones in which a member of the envoy warns of the Duke as a means to save the next duchess from his grasp. While the poem does not follow all the same writing conventions as Browning's poem such as form and tone, it is effective in the way that provides a secondary perspective on the story within this poem. The break of such conventions lends a sort of response that is more human that the facade that the Duke puts on.

      The poem aims to explore how the envoy reacted to the Duke's monologue, and the horror at which is deemed worthy enough to become a cautionary tale to future noblewomen about the Duke of Ferrara.

    3. if she let Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set                                                     40 Her wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse— E’en then would be some stooping; and I choose Never to stoop.

      To build off the previous annotation, the Duke's mask slips for a second as he admits that he would, in fact, "stoop"--but in doing so, it shows he does not have as much control as he fronts to his envoy. However, the Duke regains said control (and re-masks) through the use of others' fear of what he is capable of by stating that he chose "never to stoop" to the Duchess's level of behavior or intellect.

      This point is mentioned by Garratt regarding Browning's writing strategy using "masks" in his poetry, "The envoy is meant to be impressed by this graciousness, this taste, manners, and above all, command of life; the Duke hopes desperately that the envoy will carry that impression back to the count, and to the new duchess” (117). Garratt's point shows that the Duke's intentions in telling this story is so that the next Duchess will not behave the same way as the previous one, and she'll have no excuse as she'd already been warned; he is molding his new duchess through fear.

    4. Will’t please you sit and look at her? I said “Fra Pandolf” by design, for never read Strangers like you that pictured countenance, The depth and passion of its earnest glance, But to myself they turned (since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)

      The Duke's glee at showing off the painting is an example of the facade of dominance he establishes throughout the poem. Robert F. Garratt's article reinforces this stating, “In fact, there is a safety about the duchess' looks now that they are frozen on canvas, and the Duke can truly enjoy them because he controls the strings to the curtain” (117). By being able to show when she is allowed to "smile" at anyone using drawstrings illustrates that above else, the Duke's need to dominate and impress are more important than the life of another person, regardless of how close they are to him. His insistence that Fra Pandolf has created such a masterpiece "by [his] design" alludes to the notion that the portrait does not actually capture the essence of the Duchess, but rather a version he demanded be created, displaying his need for control.

    1. What We Covered

      This class was quite different from what I initially imagined. We not only discussed the basics of Python, but also many ethics-related topics, such as moral schools of thought, cyber ethics, and colonialism. It connected history with modern life. This was also the first time I'd looked at programming languages ​​from an ethical perspective.

    1. Colonialism [t1] is when one group or country subjugates another group, often imposing laws, religion, culture, and languages on that group, and taking resources from them. Colonialism is of

      I really understand of colonialism, since during the world war II, some cities in China had been colonized by other countries. For example, like Hong Kong was colonized by Britain, and Macau was colonized by Portugal. Colonization is more likely to occur when a country is weaker than others, but once they become powerful, the colonized territories may be returned.

    1. Millennial suburbanization was strongest in metros with the least affordable urban centers and in those with the lowest shares of family-sized housing units (those with three or more bedrooms) in their urban centers. This suggests that millennials are leaving places that do not offer affordable and/or right-sized housing as they reach traditional milestones like forming a new household, having children, or becoming homeowners.

      Some people probably want to leave a city to raise kids, but for many it's the only option.

    2. In an Arabic-Hebrewbilingual kindergarten in Israel, Schwartz and Asli (2014) describe how both thechildren and their teachers use translanguaging

      This just popped into my head: If a classroom is discussing the concept of "souls," dont some (unnamed) cultures strictly believe women don't have souls? How do we justify changing what is the linguistic standard without also logically opening up the interpretation for everyone? And do we REALLY want to validate a movement that preaches women should have no autonomy or mention of a soul?

      I mean, I would LOVE it. But some might not.

      This is a reach of an argument, but whatever.

      Creaticvty is great! I have several creative outlets. Maybe CREATE a system that renders the one you don't like obsolete! That's the only way this would work. Agrarian society rendered Hunter-Gathering obsolete, Industrial Revolution did the same to the Agrarian lifestyle, and Democracy did the same to Monarchy.

    4. 1. It may promote a deeper and fuller understanding of the subject matter.2. It may help the development of the weaker language.3. It may facilitate home-school links and cooperation.4. It may help the integration of fluent speakers with early learners

      This is a great argument for translanguaging. I am all for tailoring around input to produce optimal output.

      However, all four advantages assume the classroom has only two majority languages (Welsh/English). They fall apart when you have five or ten home languages.

    5. that there are two competing theories oftranslanguaging

      The authors themselves say the field is split. Red flag! If even the experts can't agree on what translanguaging actually is, how, precisely, is a school district supposed to turn it into policy?

    6. It is preciselybecause of its potential in building on the dynamic bilingualism of learners (García2009) that translanguaging has been taken up by many bilingual educators andscholars in the twenty-first century.

      This sentence made something click in my brain: We cannot solve this debate until we differentiate between Rights vs Responsibilities. RIGHTS are also called "negative rights" which means you have autonomy to make your own decisions without infringing on the autonomy of others. Technically, if your 'right' requires someone else to do something, it is not called a right, because if they do not consent, you can only extract their labor through force. Freedom of Speech, assembly, religion do not require input from other people. They require others to leave you alone to make your own decisions.

      This debate should be framed as a "Moral Responsibility." It is the moral thing to do to lift up those who are disenfranchised, but it seems like some are pushing for insitutional codification, which is putting a "moral responsibility" into the category of "rights" and it is just too complex to properly administer.

      I like this 'input/output' framing. It captures what I believe should be the main debate, which is how to produce the best output with any input (wherever the student may be in their journey.) But now we are questioning whether the output is a colonialist construct that should be morally disassembled.

      It MIGHT be, but it is, like all things, many many things in one. And it is not just defined by potentially the worst framing of it.

    1. A sudden flame, a merciful fury sent

      A modern connection: This is Taylor Swift's song “Mad Woman”, which debuted as the twelfth track on her seventh studio album, Folklore, released on August 18, 2020. Written during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song addresses the criticism and societal backlash that women often face when expressing anger. I include this song as an annotation because it resonates strongly with Xantippe. Centuries of being villainized, described as “shrewd” or “crazy,” mirror the way society punished women for emotions that were deemed inappropriate. Swift’s lyrics capture this societal double standard: "And there's nothin' like a mad woman What a shame she went mad No one likes a mad woman You made her like that" These lines directly reflect the way Xantippe’s anger is treated, not as a natural or justified response, but as evidence of moral or personal failing. Swift continues: "And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out And you find something to wrap your noose around" This imagery parallels the way Xantippe is provoked and restricted by the expectations of her husband and society, until she finally lashes out, a physical and emotional release mirrored in Levy’s poem. Later lines, such as: "The master of spin has a couple of well-placed friends They'll tell you you're insane" highlight how women’s reputations and emotions are manipulated and controlled by societal judgment, reinforcing the same marginalization that Levy talks about. By including “Mad Woman”, we can see a direct line from Xantippe’s historical and literary treatment to modern discussions about women, anger, and the consequences of breaking imposed emotional boundaries.[]https://youtu.be/6DP4q_1EgQQ?si=e7ol3EKrAAWfHwSR

    2. But swiftly in my bosom there uprose A sudden flame, a merciful fury sent To save me; with both angry hands I flung The skin upon the marble, where it lay                                                                                                                             220 Spouting red rills and fountains on the white; Then, all unheeding faces, voices, eyes, I fled across the threshold, hair unbound— White garment stained to redness—beating heart

      At this point in the poem, Xantippe has lost the mask she worked so hard to hold on to. Socrates has angered her, and in a sudden fit of rage, her body responds with a faster heartbeat as she flings the wine onto the floor. Xantippe seems to rarely allow herself to feel or express anger; she might often feel slighted or sad, but these emotions are usually restrained, like a quietly glowing ember. Here, however, a “sudden flame” erupts: the heat rises, and she finally releases it. The description of the red wine spilling onto the white marble serves as a powerful metaphor for the loss of innocence or purity. What was once clean and controlled is now marked and transformed. Xantippe crosses the threshold changed, “hair unbound, white garment stained to redness," no longer the restrained, composed figure she once was. Levy’s depiction of this moment reflects her interest in women’s emotional and intellectual repression. Just as Xantippe’s fury has been contained by societal expectations in ancient Athens, Victorian women like Levy faced pressures to restrain their feelings and intellect. By giving Xantippe a dramatic, physical release of her anger, Levy depicts the costs of suppression and illuminates the intense, hidden emotional lives of women. The poem becomes not only a historical reflection on Xantippe’s experience but also a nuanced critique of the constraints placed on women in Levy’s world by showing how powerful and transformative the acknowledgment of one’s own emotions can be.

    3. ‘ I thank thee for the wisdom which thy lips Have thus let fall among us : prythee tell From what high source, from what philosophies Didst cull the sapient notion of thy words?’

      Through Socrates’ choice of words in this passage, he comes across as arrogantly dismissive. Using sarcasm, he comments, what on the surface sounds like a compliment: “I thank thee for the wisdom which thy lips / Have thus let fall among us,” as actually belittling. The phrase “have thus let fall among us” portrays her input as something not freely given or valued; it was blurted out and unsolicited. His snide questions: “From what high source, from what philosophies / Didst cull the sapient notion of thy words?” imply that even if her words were worthy, they could not possibly have come from her own mind. Socrates shows no genuine respect for Xantippe, acknowledging her only in the limited capacity allowed to women in domestic spaces. Amy Levy’s choice of including this passage reflects her broader interest in exposing the ways women’s intelligence and emotional lives were devalued. By featuring Socrates’ dismissive tone, Levy demonstrates the societal conditions of Victorian women like herself, who were often denied intellectual recognition and confined to narrowly defined roles. Just as Xantippe is belittled despite her perception, Victorian women faced systemic obstacles to being taken seriously. This makes Levy’s dramatic monologue a commentary on the ongoing marginalization of women’s minds.

    4. I saw his face and marked it, half with awe,                                                                             60 Half with a quick repulsion at the shape. . . .

      While looks and beauty were very important in the ancient Grecian times, Socrates broke the mold when it came to the beauty standards of his day. As noted to his appearance in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Socrates "had wide-set, bulging eyes that darted sideways and enabled him, like a crab, to see not only what was straight ahead, but what was beside him as well; a flat, upturned nose with flaring nostrils; and large fleshy lips like an ass." Despite the hair trends of his area, he grew his hair out and refused to stay clean or change his clothes. Amy Levy includes these details to accentuate the contrast between societal expectations and individual worth. Men like Socrates could be physically unconventional or even “ugly” and still admired for their intellect, yet there was no equivalent space for women to be recognized for their minds. A woman’s value was tied to her beauty and social conformity. By presenting Socrates’ unconventionality alongside the phrase “half with awe,” Levy highlights the tension between superficial judgment and true merit, a tension mirrored in "Xantippe: A Fragment", where women’s intellectual and emotional lives were historically ignored or dismissed.

    5. My soul which yearned for knowledge,

      When Xantippe describes her soul as one that “yearned for knowledge,” she describes a desire that classical society discouraged in women. This yearning reflects Amy Levy’s own intellectual ambitions and her struggle to access education in a world that restricted women’s academic opportunities. Levy pushed against these limitations of her time. She became the second Jewish woman ever admitted to Cambridge University and the first Jewish woman to enroll at Newnham College, one of the women’s colleges founded to expand access to higher learning. Levy’s personal experiences with gender barriers enhance her portrayal of Xantippe’s longing. By giving a classical woman, the same thirst for intellectual life that Levy felt as a Victorian woman, the poem creates a bridge between eras. Xantippe’s desire becomes not merely personal but representative of a long history of women whose intellectual aspirations were dismissed or deemed inappropriate. Through this moment of self-revelation, Levy highlights the emotional cost of systemic exclusion and places knowledge-seeking as both a private desire and an act of resistance.

    6. Then followed days of sadness, as I grew To learn my woman-mind had gone astray, And I was sinning in those very thoughts—

      This passage reflects experiences that are both historically and personally grounded by connecting the lives of women in Ancient Greece and Victorian England. As a Victorian woman, Levy would have understood the deep emotional pressures created by a society that limited women’s education, rights, and opportunities simply because of their gender. Many women writers of the time, including Charlotte Brontë (writing as Currer Bell) and Mary Ann Evans (writing as George Eliot), adopted male pen names just to have their work published. This is just one example of the systemic barriers women faced. The line “and I was sinning in those very thoughts—” adds an intense sense of shame and internalized guilt, drawing attention to how natural curiosity and intellectual exploration could be framed as morally wrong for a woman. By illuminating this tension, Levy exposes the emotional cost of societal restrictions, showing how both historical and contemporary pressures could make women feel as though their own minds were prohibited.

    1. The tech industry is full of colonialist thinking and practices

      Boeing is a company that uses tech to directly further colonialism in Palestine today and historically on campus. One example is the GBU-39/B precision strike system that Boeing sells to the IDF who uses it to colonize Palestine. And back in 1939, here on UW campus, the Kirsten Wind Tunnel tested the B-29. This is the plane that would go on to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Modern tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon sell their cloud, AI, web, and other services to oppressive governments around the world that use their tech to do harm

    1. This is typically referred to as “no rights reserved.” Different countries, and even different states within various countries, will have varying copyright laws that address rights and public domain.

      This is just one more reason why many people are confused about copyright. Not only do the laws vary from country to country, but they can also be different based on regions within a country. How is anyone (who is not a copyright lawyer) supposed to keep track of this?

    1. In this system, users of Meta’s social media platforms have very little say in decisions made by the company. The users of Meta have few actions they can take that influence the company, but what they can do is: Use the site less or delete their account. Individually, this doesn’t do much, but if they do this in coordination with others (e.g., a boycott), then this can affect Meta. For example, when Facebook would make interface changes, users would all complain together, and Facebook worried people would all leave together. In order to prevent this, they began slowly rolling out changes, only giving it to some users at a time, making it harder for users to coordinate leaving together.

      This change has definitely affected a wide audience. The stark jumps that companies make are seen all over the place, mainly with major criticism. An example I can think of is companies changing logos which the public usually hates so they are forced to live with the negativity or change it back such as the Cracker Barrel logo. I’ve noticed these subtle changes with the Youtube UI where they change the font or symbols for different buttons. I usually dislike it for about a day and am forced to live with it until they inevitably change it again.

    1. When we think about repair and reconciliation, many of us might wonder where there are limits. Are there wounds too big to be repaired? Are there evils too great to be forgiven? Is anyone ever totally beyond the pale of possible reconciliation? Is there a point of no return?

      I would say that there is absolutely a breaking point as far as someones privileges to be amongst the public but to call it a point of no return is somewhat cruel. I believe that justice or reconciliation should be based on rehabilitation. There should always be a return offered if the problem is solved truly. This is only in the legal sense, in a personal sense no one owes you a second chance in that way accept maybe your parents.

    1. interrupt the learning of others in the classroom

      I have an observation experience where one of the students interrupted the learning of others. He kept calling out and making the other students laugh.

    2. if a child has speech challenges, it may be beneficial to observe the student in speech therapy. Consulting with the speech therapist after the session may provide insight into improved communication within the music classroom.

      I think that things like this could be really beneficial especially in a choral classroom or lesson. This could be helpful in a lot of ways including seeing how a teacher that is around the student more often than a music teacher would get the student to learn the best.

    3. Skill-specific group: Students are grouped together based on shared skills or abilities.Heterogeneous Grouping: Students with mixed levels of understandings or skills are grouped together to learn from their peers.Flexible Grouping: Using several types of groups at the same time.Learning Centers: Organized self-instruction areas of a classroom used to promote independent learning.

      How might these types of grouping for self-contained classrooms affect the students learning?

    4. Do not assume that the inclusion classroom is always the least restrictive environment (LRE). Some students with learning differences function best in a self-contained classroom free of the distractions of an included classroom. Often, these can be opportunities for reverse inclusion, where a general education class can join a self-contained classroom for music.

      I have come to learn that this statement is true. My original thought is that inclusion classrooms are better because it allows students with differences and dissabilities to interact with their peers. However I observed a music class in a self contained classroom and now I realize how self-contained classrooms are needed and how it could get in the way of learning for students without differences or dissabilities. And on the other side I've observed classrooms where some students who are in inclusion classrooms can disrupt thier classmates from learning. I think that if they were in a self-contained classroom that would be better for both parties.

    5. Engagement with special education faculty

      I agree with music educators collaborating with special education faculty to better reach students with differences and disabilities. I see this a lot in my current placement the special education faculty work with the teachers on how to help these students specifically. I feel like doing this is beneficial for everyone in the class.

Some people argue that the effects are really negative and traumatizing to the child but the author notes calling this type of prank a trauma betrays the true definition of a psychological trauma because there is no correcting of the wrong that the parent has done in the actual thing and in this prank the whole idea is you reveal to them at the end that all their candy is actually still there.

      This is a parenting source that discusses how shame is a helpful resource in teaching your child the difference between "right" and "wrong" however this tool is only effective if you consul the child for what they did and notify them that the action is wrong not them as a person. Then shame turns into guilt which makes it even more helpful in teaching right and wrong.

      Many people can't even notice the downside of a thing while they're laughing and enjoying. As this prank is an example, the audience who laugh at it can't notice what's wrong with this show, and probably won't exploit the potential negative influence it brought to the kids. In this case, we need someone to rethink this show from another perspective, even though they would be criticized, since they were standing on the opposite side of most of the audience.

      While reading this article, I thought of those moments when people said "just kidding", but for children, it was not just a joke. Adults might find pranks amusing, but the fear and humiliation children feel at that moment are one hundred percent real. Especially when they are recorded by cameras, posted online, and shown to strangers as a joke, that sense of powerlessness may linger in their hearts for a long time. Children cannot understand that "this is entertainment", they only think that if even their parents can laugh at them, then who else can they trust? This made me realize that laughter and hurt are sometimes separated by only a very thin line, and we often cross it when children are at their most vulnerable.

    1. The consequences for being “canceled” can range from simply the experience of being criticized, to loss of job or criminal charges.

      Relating back to what comes after being canceled, I agree it ranges from different things. I had a close friend of mine getting cancelled online which then transferred to in person. The bullying turned so bad that she was forced to quit her job, move schools, and create a new identity. She was 17 at the time. So through that I saw there were so many "consequences" that came from getting canceled.

    1. What do you consider to be the most important factors in making an instance of public shaming bad?

      I think the most important factors in making an instance of public shaming bad is shaming that person's other characteristics. For example, if the individual is being publicly shamed for saying something inappropriate and then making fun of the way they talk or look or dress, then that can really affect the person in a harmful way.

    1. The parent may then comfort the child to let the child know that they are not being rejected as a person, it was just their action that was a problem.

      This sentence reminds me of when I was a child and was scolded by adults. If I only heard, "How could you be so undisciplined!" that kind of hurt would linger in my heart for a long time. But if someone added a sentence after being angry, "I still love you very much, but you can't do this thing," the feeling would be completely different. It makes the child know that mistakes can be corrected, but they are not unlovable just because they made a mistake. Such comfort is actually teaching the child a safe self-perception: I can make mistakes, but I can also become better.
