the classic racist idea that Blackyouth don’t value education as much as their non-Black counterparts. No one seemed tocare that this well-traveled idea had flown on anecdotes but had never been groundedin proof.
This is a racist idea because it makes a negative generalization about a racial group, without proof.
She was earning 79 cents to the dollar of her male peers, a difference that had consequences not only on her annual salary but also on how much she got paid for overtime, how much she could set aside in her 401K, and even how much pension she would one day receive.
And imagine how this affected her mental health and well-being, knowing she was undervalued in this way!
people who identified as members of these groups as adults reported experiencing significantly more ACEs
I wonder if there are other groups that experience more ACEs

Can I just say how out of date this is???

I have to say, I hate this site so much. Why? Because it discourages critical thinking by seeming to present all of the answers in these little boxes. It also makes it seem like each of the sources presented is equally valid, reliable, and worthy. Yet I have found multiple sources that track back to groups identified as hate groups. This site is one of my least favorite sites for these reasons.
Student loan debt often forces college graduates to live with their parents and delay marriage, financial independence, and other adult milestones.
Is this an argument against college, or against the way we finance it? Also, I have to say--where would they be living if they didn't go to college? Can you even afford to live on your own with just a high school education or less?
“Maybe it’s also a staffing bias. Most AI teams don’t have people who want to work on these squishy humans and their soft problems,” Siu adds, laughing. “It’s people who want to do math and optimization. And that’s the basis, but that’s not enough.”
So once again, what's needed is someone with an understanding of--rhetoric.
AI can automate grading, giving educators more time
Wow. This sounds so wonderful, doesn't it? You wouldn't know from this description that there is an entire debate on this topic in the field of education, and that many experts in composition have huge problems with this use of technology.
The system mines patient data and other available data sources to form a hypothesis, which it then presents with a confidence scoring schema.
Our soldiers today fight wars unlike any others who have fought. They fight a largely unseen enemy and face casualties from IEDs and suicide bombers. Many are injured and maimed by unseen foes. They fight for unclear objectives and end up coming home with limited skills and in many cases with severe physical and mental injuries. They are often separated from the military service with questionable employment prospects. A number of veterans experience depression, loss of purpose present, in some cases, an overwhelming family crisis. Their mental health difficulties profoundly touch the lives of the U.S. general public.
Wow--this paints a bleak picture of life in the military!
Do ERPOs help with this?
So what does an ERPO add to this? I guess I don't know much about those laws.
Where are they in place? Do you mean in CA, since you mentioned CA's ERPO law earlier?
So would gun violence restraining orders have helped prevent this situation?
Is this a quote or a title?
Also, do you think readers will want to hear details about how this case led to the ERPO in CA, when you start talking about gun violence restraining orders later? Remember you can summarize points and re-state things in your own words.
So what do you make of this situation too? What does it prove about the link or about restraining orders?
I'm curious about your thoughts on this specific statistic. What does it mean that only 25% had a mental illness, in terms of the link between mental illness and mass shootings? And what does it mean that most of those who did have a mental illness hadn't appeared on the radar of the mental health or law enforcement system?
We can talk about how to make this in-text citation match MLA style. There is a video in the Week 15 page "Micro-Level Revisions." Basically you would say According to Jonathan Metzl, "Quote" (8).
This sounds so scholarly and authoritative--I love it!
I love your title and your whole essay! I made small comments throughout about little things I noticed that could be improved or that I liked. I'm impressed with the complexity of thinking and how well you knew and were able to integrate not just your sources, but your deep critical and creative thinking about them, and how you propose your own solution to this problem. I think this is such stellar work all around!
I love this broadening out of your topic/solution.
Did something get cut off here?
I would call this list References because that's the APA style title and it looks like your list and in-text citations are in APA style.
Who are the authors? Also check your list to make sure all of the sources are alphabetized.
These are the details I would expect in a body paragraph supporting your idea for the solution.
I wasn't sure what the three elements were. Is it Eastern pedagogies and methodologies, Western ones, and the student-teacher relationship?
Here's where I would expect a paragraph about the solution, separate from a concluding paragraph. Why would I expect that? It's because I'm used to the solution being supported in the body of the essay, before a concluding paragraph re-states the point and draws out the implications for the future and why this issue/solution matters. Does that make sense? You might start that paragraph, "To solve these issues, American educators could etc." Then explain the solution and why it would work.
Nicely cited and integrated information here. This is very well-done!
Again, I might say some or many American teachers do this.
I actually see this happen sometimes with students from poor American high schools. They get very confused when they get to college and the emphasis is on critical thinking and creativity.
I would say, some American educators prefer this, or many American educators. There are lots of teacher-centered educators in the U.S. and especially in schools that serve low-income students (Anyon,1980).
Nicely transitioned!
You can use [ ] to insert a word in a quote to explain something, this like: "(1) these [Mexican] schools etc."
Does that make sense? Brackets are handy like that.
Aw. I hope some of his peers and teachers work hard to invite him in and make him feel more welcome and accepted.
This is a fantastic topic sentence and I think it adds so much to your essay that you explain your own personal experiences in connection to this topic.
This was the only place where I really thought that Russell source might be out of date since I have a hard time imagining a more contemporary source using such judgmental terms about Asian students writing. Weak, rambling, and unimaginative?? Geesh. I've taught many Asian-born students and that's not what I would ever have said about their writing.
APA style uses p. for page (p.3)
I would suggest making this two sentence: one about how the study was done and the other about the findings. In "X Article," so and so describes their study of the mental health coping strategies of 274 Chinese, Japanese, etc. students. They concluded that etc.
This sounds like something I'd read in the abstract of a published scholarly article. I love the confident tone and wide range of this sentence!
I love this point.

More examples of real-life timers
real-life events as timers.
Or instead of a timer, use a real-life thing like the washing machine cycle.
30 minutes.
30 minutes of work, followed by ten minutes of a reward activity. Use a timer and be strict about it.
Because his action was rewarded in the now every time, Ariely continued to do the right thing (inject the drug) for the wrong reason (so he could watch movies).I’ve tried this myself in the past. I got hooked on the first season of the Serial podcast, which had new episodes released once per week. I never listened to Serial except when I was running, so whenever a new episode was released, I would get excited about going for a run (doing the right thing) because it meant I could listen to Serial (the wrong reason)—rather than because running is good for my health and fitness (the right reason).
I need to use this strategy more.
A few months ago I just created a file in my book writing software and laid out the chapter headings, and just started playing around and rearranging them. And each time an idea came to me during the day, I just added a quick note inside each chapter. Recently I’ve been opening up the doc in the mornings, just looking at the table of contents, and just adding a few more notes here and there. It’s a slow ramp up where I just tell myself to add a few things here and there, no pressure.When McGuinness wrote that paragraph, he’d already written 12,000 words of his book. “I haven’t really started writing it yet,” he said. “And since I’ve not been officially working on the book, resistance and procrastination hasn’t shown up for work either. It’s been fun.”If it helps, you can also try using a timer for this approach. Set the timer for just 5 or 10 minutes. While the timer’s running, you don’t have to work, but you can’t do anything else. You have to sit with your work, even if you don’t get started. Personally, I’d rather work than do nothing at all, so I wouldn’t even last five minutes before this trick made me get started.
Good examples of making it easy to start. I did this with my essay and it worked.
“A real mood boost comes from doing what we intend to do—the things that are important to us”. Knowing this, we can reason that although getting started might feel uncomfortable, we’re likely to feel much better once the task is done. Compare the mood boost of having done what you intended to do, to the disappointment and frustration of dealing with the consequences of procrastination later.In fact, research shows that progress—no matter how small—can be a huge motivator to help us keep going.My favorite trick for getting into a task I’m dreading, is to start with the mindset. I start by just thinking about the task for a while, until I’m drawn in and can’t help working on it.If it’s a writing task, I might pull up the draft I need to edit and just sit and read over it. Soon I’ll find myself changing a word here and there, or fixing typos. Then I’ll think of a whole sentence I want to add. And suddenly I’m well into the task, without really pushing myself to do so.
Remember it will feel better to start and do something.
And make it easy to start. Pull up the document and type in a quote. Start filling in sentences in your outlines, etc.
Based on the research, it’s clear that we have two ways of dealing with our procrastination:Make whatever we’re procrastinating on feel less uncomfortable, andConvince our present selves into caring about our future selves.
2 larger buckets for addressing the causes of procrastination
Evidence from Connecticut and Indiana, where risk warrant legislation has existed since 1999 and 2005, respectively, suggests that such laws have a number needed to treat of 10 to 20 (in this case, the number of firearm removal actions needed to prevent 1 suicide).8-10
This means they need to have used the law to take guns away from at least 10-20 people in order to prevent one suicide.
“ERPO laws, in California and elsewhere, have been established after mass shooting events, but evidence thus far points to their promise for preventing suicides, the overall leading cause of death from firearms in the U.S.,” Pallin said. “More research will allow us to better understand how ERPOs are being used to prevent suicides as well as harm directed at others.”
So they get these laws passed after mass shootings, but the evidence shows these ERPO laws are helping prevent suicides by firearms. They need more research.
Among the youth who made it to college before age 21, the amount of time spent in extended care was not significantly related to their chances of persisting through two semesters in college or the total number of semesters they completed.
Bingo! So the programs are helping them get to college but not to finish. WHY? What is missing?
ust as black English plays a vital role for black people, Chicano speech serves an important purpose for Chicanos. Purpose, Baldwin argues, validates and makes language authentic. It is then the social, cultural, and political significance of Spanglish in the lives of Chicanos that legitimize it as a language.
I think this might be the thesis. Of course it's best to re-state in your own words the big point you're getting from the piece.
Some educators criticize code-switching as a “bastardized” form of English and Spanish that hinders Chicanos from mastering any one language.
One of the sources in my Wakelet plays into this view, I think.But it's from a student researcher.
his term has been rejected by some linguists who claim that it is technically flawed and only applies to casual oral registers. In this paper I consider the linguistic nature, sociolinguistic functions and attitudes towards Spanglish, I show that Latinos are using this hybrid, heteroglossic variety beyond casual oral registers, and I suggest a broader perspective which not only considers the linguistic features of Spanglish but also the political, social and cultural issues involved.
This is the thesis of the piece. How would you re-state it? It really brings up some important issues about how we should see Spanglish.
Our expectations of school personnel are equally emotionally and morally fraught. It is not incidental that the majority of primary school teachers are undercompensated women who are expected to sacrifice themselves
So glad someone is saying this!
including the poor decision making of adults who allow deadly infections to spiral out of control
I'm feeling this part too!
Like all essential workers, teachers and other school personnel deserve substantial protections, as well as hazard pay. Remote working accommodations should be made if possible for staff members who are over 60 or have underlying health conditions
I'm feeling this part, especially on the hazard pay! I also think remote accommodations should be made for people whose families are high risk. I'd never forgive myself if I brought the virus home to my spouse (who is high risk) and he died or was permanently harmed from it.
It is tragic that the United States has chosen a path necessitating a trade-off between risks to educators and harms to students, given other countries’ success in reducing transmission and opening schools with routine control measures in place. This dilemma represents a social and policy failure, not a medical or scientific necessity.
This sentence hit me hard. Why does it have to be a trade-off between harm to students and risks to teachers? Why can other countries successfully meet the needs of both groups, while we're meeting the needs of neither group?
I wonder if the question should be, should we apply the same cultural adaptation strategy for students from Asian countries, or should we expect the students to adapt to the American teacher-student relationship?
Seeking help from counselors or teachers is notably absent from this list, isn't it?
This is interesting to me, that the counselors are making the same move as recommended in the study of Mexican students--adapting their methods to the culture of the immigrant students. I can see how it would be difficult for immigrant students to adapt to a culture where they are expected to share problems with counselors/teachers. Thank you for sharing this source!
If computational readings consistentlyfind that essay content is largely a reflection of socioeconomic resources, then essay requirements may beworthy of the same level of critical scrutiny that standardized testing has heretofore received. Removingthe SAT would likely remove practical barriers to selective colleges for at least some students [38],3but ifthe essays encode much of the information as SAT scores and have a stronger relationship with householdincome, then the use of essays in admissions decisions warrants careful consideration.
And the same could be said for placement decisions--using essays in placement produces the same issues that using standardized tests produces
Household income, test scores, and essay content are highly interrelated.
Income, test scores, and essay content are highly interrelated
these results suggest that essay content has a stronger association with RHI than do SATscores.
Essay content more closely associated with reported household income than SAT scores are. Wow.
Counts of total punctuation (r“0.343), comma use (r“0.434), and longerwords (r“0.375) were positively associated with SAT, for example, while function words (e.g. prepositionsand articles;r“ ́0.419) and verbs (r“ ́0.471) were negatively associated with SAT
Verbs associated with lower SAT, longer words associated with higher SAT
For example, essays with more content on “human nature” and “seeking answers” tendedto be written by applicants with higher SAT scores (r“0.53 andr“0.57 respectively); in contrast, essayswith more content about “time management” and family relationships tended to be written by students withlower SAT scores (r“ ́0.4 andr“ ́0.26 respectively)
The topics correlate with higher/lower SAT scores. Higher scores correlate with topics on human nature and seeking answers, lower scores correlate with time management and family relationships, which are of more concern to lower income folks.
Funding agencies could help by including clauses to encourage visiting researchers to hire local residents, even if they aren’t fluent in English. These locals understand the problem better than does a scientist who has never been to the area, and that knowledge matters whether it’s expressed in Hindi or English.I’m a member of @herpetALLogy, a Twitter group that brings together herpetologists of different backgrounds, languages and orientations. We have the space to talk about ourselves. The barriers can be hard to fathom for those who don’t face them.Science should reach local residents, and it should be beneficial to people beyond those who manage projects. When I hire candidates, I try to understand what they’re going through, as well as what they can contribute. We talk about their issues, and I learn a lot. Scientists need to be open to all people who show an inclination towards science.
This person argues against the use of English as a gatekeeper for hiring people for your project. They think scientists and local folks should be able to communicate and share knowledge in whatever language they use.
I’ve worked on many multinational collaborations, and I notice that European researchers often speak to each other in their native languages. However, it’s relatively uncommon to see Chinese or South Korean scientists talking to each other in their own language in an academic setting away from their home country. They just don’t feel comfortable.
So scientists from Asia countries don't speak to each other in their native languages because they know they'll be targeted. Sounds like racism to me.
In countries where English isn’t spoken, you shut out everyone but the well-educated. We could be losing some really smart minds.
I'm sure we are losing a lot of smart minds
We need a common language to communicate in science, and this is now English. That is a good thing, because English is perfect for science: it’s precise and straightforward. A good level of English will help you to get the job or the project that you want, in both academia and industry.
So what's a "good level" of English for science?
we all found the British accent difficult. And many English speakers didn’t realize when they were speaking too fast. Some non-native English speakers would prefer to talk to other foreigners in English — it was easier.
Exactly what the BBC article on native speakers found.
So far, I’ve identified more than 600 peer-reviewed articles written in languages other than English. I’m building collaborations with native speakers of those languages to get a better sense of the information in the papers and to see how they complement or fill in the gaps in English-based knowledge.
Wow--so there is scientific research published in other languages but English-speaking folks aren't necessarily reading about it.
The dominance of English has created considerable bias in the scientific record. In a 2013 study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, we found that biodiversity databases were more complete in countries that had a relatively high proportion of English speakers (T. Amano & W. J. Sutherland Proc. Biol. Sci. 280, 20122649; 2013). In other words, biodiversity records are comparatively scant in countries where English is rarely spoken. As a result, our knowledge of large parts of the world’s biodiversity is much less robust than it could be.
Ugh, holy heck. This is a big problem, then!
It’s not enough to hire a specialist in academic writing. Such specialists often have backgrounds in the humanities or social science. Students also need assistance from scientists who can help them to write for their specific disciplines.
Yes--you can teach students how to write for your own discipline but then there will be other issues when they write for other disciplines. So writing needs to be something every discipline teaches.
Language support and translation services could be built into grants.
Right--you don't need to be perfect at English if you can have these sorts of supports to write your findings in English.
English speakers have become the gatekeepers of science. By keeping those gates closed, we’re missing out on a lot of perspectives and a lot of good research.
English shouldn't be used as a gatekeeping mechanism because it not only limits individuals, but also limits science.
“(President Herbert) Hoover says (Strange Fruit) is un-American.”
This reminds me of the current attitude some have towards Black Lives Matter. It answers the question why we haven't had anti-lynching legislation. Because some folks think even talk about it is "un-American."
Also how many Congress members are affiliated with white supremacy groups?
Can anyone imagine telling taxpayers that they must stop using a mailbox to send in their tax return four days before taxes are due? Why should any state tell its voters that they must stop using a voting drop box four days before election day?
Good comparison.
For example, the law makes it harder for voters even to access a drop box after normal business hours. This will make it particularly challenging for people who work multiple jobs or long hours, who face transportation challenges, or who have multiple caregiving responsibilities.
This is also concerning.
This means that Fulton County, where most of Microsoft’s employees live, likely will see an 80 percent reduction in drop boxes, from 40 during the 2020 election to only about eight moving forward.
That's a significant drop. It would be easy to be fooled by folks saying oh, this will increase the number of drop boxes statewide. The question is whether the provision hurts Democratic voters more, and from this it sounds like it does.
increase the number of drop boxes statewide, as the legislation requires each county to have at least one.
It might increase the number statewide but in some Democratic counties it will decrease the number of drop boxes. I believe in Fulton County it would decrease the number from 40-50 to 8--need to check Rolling Stone on this.
Science is clear that children can learn multiple languages as easily as one, given adequate exposure and practice, and this process brings cognitive advantages.24 In groups in which children speak different home languages, educators may not be able to speak each language, but they can value and support maintaining all languages.25
Ha--this supports my thesis for my topic question, if you translate "all languages" to include multiple types of English.
Although adults can be play partners (for example, playing peekaboo with an infant) or play facilitators (by making a suggestion to extend the activity in a certain way), the more that the adult directs an activity or interaction, the less likely it will be perceived as play by the child.
Wow--choice is so important to children's sense that they are playing and not being forced to do something.
Play is essential for all children, birth through age 8.
Wow. Schools need to do more to allow kids to play--up through age 8!

I think this is the main topic you've covered in this paragraph. To re-state the point I'm getting from this paragraph: You're saying that Hispanic students have cultural resilience but they also have a particular set of barriers when it comes to getting an education, and the main one is that many Hispanic students have to prioritize being in the workforce over getting their education, and you've had to learn to change that priority. Did I get that right?

Exactly what you were talking about!
The analysis of serious adverse events included 21 862 participants who received at least one dose (of whom 19 866 received two doses) up to database lock on Nov 24, 2020. 70 episodes of serious adverse events, considered not related to COVID-19, were recorded in 68 participants: in 45 (0·3%) of 16 427 participants from the vaccine group and 23 (0·4%) of 5435 participants from the placebo group (appendix pp 5–7). None of the serious adverse events were considered associated with vaccination, as confirmed by the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC).
So this is how they determined the thesis that the vaccine was well tolerated.
The vaccine was well tolerated, with 45 (0·3%) of 16 427 participants in the vaccine group reporting serious adverse events, all of which were considered not related to the vaccine.
I think this is the most important point in relation to your question about vaccine safety.
And since people "receive" the world as passive entities, education should make them more passive still, and adapt them to the world. The educated individual is the adapted person, because she or he is better "fit" for the world. Translated into practice, this concept is well suited to the purposes of the oppressors, whose tranquility rests on how well people fit the world the oppressors have created, and how little they question it.
Sure hope I'm not doing this, trying to fit people into systems of oppression instead of allowing and encouraging them to question it.
They may perceive through their relations with reality that reality is really a process, undergoing constant transformation. I
Also love this quote. Reality is a process undergoing constant transformation, so any "knowledge" that is "deposited" is limited and could also change. Knowledge like reality is always undergoing transformation. We are forever incomplete.
Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in "changing the con-sciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them";1
I love this quote and the rest of this paragraph. It reminds me of Price's point that the situation is responsible for students' barriers, not students' internal personalities or characters.
The truth is, however, that the oppressed are not "marginals," are not people living "outside" society. They have always been "inside"—inside the structure which made them "beings for others." The solution is not to "integrate" them into the structure of oppres-sion, but to transform that structure so that they can become "beings for themselves."
This reminds me of code-meshing and Young's celebration of it. The language of the oppressed is not "marginal" to society, it is always "inside" society and the point is to change society so that stigmatized language varieties can be become "languages for themselves" and not "languages for others." When something is for others, it has no strength or meaning or freedom to define itself, its own worth, value, meanings, uses, ideas. It is always for someone else, from someone else's point of view. Freire is saying that we need to stop thinking of the oppressed only through the lens of the oppressor.
the teacher teaches and the students are taught
This approach is reinforced by online teaching methods as they have been taught to me. It's funny how ingrained it is that we think of education this way. The teacher teaches and the students are taught, as if they have nothing to contribute themselves.
The measure of wealth in a civilized nation is not the currency accumulated by the lucky few, but rather the strength and resonance of social relations and the bonds of reciprocity that connect all people in common purpose.
As an American, this breaks my heart. By this measure the U.S. is the poorest country in the world.
People who tell contamination stories, McAdams has found, are less “generative,” or less driven to contribute to society and younger generations. They also tend to be more anxious and depressed, and to feel that their lives are less coherent compared to those who tell redemptive stories.
I can imagine that it would be a battle within oneself to turn this sort of experience into a redemption story. I admire people who are able to use this sort of experience as the springboard into a greater sense of purpose--e.g., Matthew Shepard's mother turned to fighting homophobia after her son's murder, so other parents would never have to feel that pain. It must take such continual and focused effort not to give in to despair after something like this happens to someone you love.
Now he is college age, and I can’t help him. So then we’re talking about two generations of student loans compounded for a college degree that everyone agrees my son needs to succeed in life.
This is just heartbreaking.
The reduction in happiness for poorer people — who already were at lower levels before the crisis — was about twice as large as the reduction in happiness for richer people, reflecting their greater vulnerability to the virus and the sharp economic downturn.
So why didn't they START the article with this information? And how does this drop in happiness correlate with answers about solidarity and support for policies to reduce inequality--did income level affect how people answered those questions?
The study also captures the significant decline in the level of happiness of respondents across the board during the crisis, with the poorer respondents showing the greatest decreases in their happiness.
Wow. It makes sense that poorer people would be suffering the most during this crisis.
they’ve learned they can protect themselves against the coronavirus through their own actions — by staying inside, washing their hands and wearing a mask when buying groceries.

will the lure of setting your background to the Death Star be enough to keep us all on Zoom?
So you're saying we're all that shallow? Probably true.
The world turned its attention on his software sausage factory, peeled the skin and spotted all the rat meat.
Points for the creative analogy/imagery here. "Software sausage factory," ha!
The reality is most casual users will never experience any problems from Zoom’s lack of security and privacy, and so the issues become difficult to care about in practice.
So maybe this point should have been made earlier so the blog could spend time convincing us to care about the security issues even though they won't ever affect most of us. I found myself not caring throughout the first few pages because of exactly this--the thought that it won't affect me.
integration with the Snap Camera that lets you join a meeting as a potato.
What? How did I note know about this!
Zoom was easy to install, and in the current climate, the government needed it to work more than they needed it to be secure.
This applies to all of us who went to Zoom so quickly, I think we "needed it to work more than [we] needed it to be secure." Sigh.
One Cisco senior manager described Zoom to Forbes as “a bunch of borrowed resources from Webex.”
Wait, so Webex OWNED these people?
When I peeked at the code, I noticed a process called “zoomAutenticationTool.” That’s not my typo, but a misspelling in the application code itself. Another message reads, in broken English: “System need your privilege to change.” Zoom is like a phishing attack, designed to weed out the gullible.
So typos in the code -- of the sort made by people for whom English is not their first language -- are being used as evidence that Zoom is "a virus." This is disturbing rhetoric.
