also recent discourse around school and bedtime abolition is fun because i had the unreasonable(ly based) positions before it started, feels great. also arguments over definitions/misunderstandings of words are primary and people dont really wanna look into stuff or be charitable

to be fair tho people rarely link good resources or clarify, but to be double fair its hard when people that are supposed to be with you take snobbish reactionary positions lol. also very funny to watch libs who want to seem woke on the latest discourse totally mangle what is

intended. (demonmama debate must have like 300k+ views across youtube pain pain pain)

this day has felt so long, but in a good way. i finished 3 books. skipping lecture is so pog, and even going out wasnt totally a negative experience. being able to walk to shit feels really nice too

my YDSA meeting was so white lol. presenter guy was interesting about history of marxism, but discussion afterwards i could have had with libs lol. what an odd group, but i enjoy it i think. dont think im gonna find many other anarkiddies but what can ya do

Ok I reread Illich and I think I like him better now, definitely quirky but he has some good ideas. Gonna reread Gintis critique now tho

Ok it seems like still some very salient criticisms, I really want to read his sociology of education but the PDFs online suck :/ only thing I’m unsure of is the dialectic stuff, he uses the thesis antithesis synthesis model which idk enough to criticize but I don’t think it’s

Hegelian, maybe Marxist? Idk overall p good and glad I revisited

Lol fight back by being exploited locally with poor worker rights/pay. Exploit your own workers. Run your own life. Your carbon footprint is nothing compared to the corporations that run you, so instead of challenging this authority attempt to become it yourself.

really good article: Teachers as mothers in the elementary classroom: negotiating the needs of self and other James, Jennifer Hauver https://booksc.org/book/30306765/264409

good followup piece: “The Discipline Stop”: Black Male Teachers and the Politics of Urban School Discipline Ed Brockenbrough https://booksc.org/book/43086114/b34252

oh my god how i have not heard of this actor before hes so hot lmao (Timothée Chalamet for future research) also yeah im aware i might be a sexual narcissist so what

My prof keeps saying “He she or they” when referring to a nonspecific individual, just say they

Assignment in class to propose an ed policy: someone says “increase autonomy… of teachers grading students” lmfao incredible

They meant like less federal/state standardized tests which I mean, good I guess, but lol it’s so funny to hear someone use autonomy as a way to exercise power over others abuser logic

also interesting how socdems and other progressive ppl are so against school abolition, while that and RA was the things that got me much more into anarchism, makes sense tho they struggle for better access for disadvantaged ppl

ive thought about that a lot too, but if the thing marginalized ppl are excluded from is fundamentally unjust, their historical exclusion isn't an argument to keep it around. like women were excluded from being king, but that doesn't mean we should keep around monarchy

its just a wholly unnecessary aspect too - theres no need to justify your answer in front of a class to understand the material, and i imagine it makes it much much worse. things dont get dwelled on if the answers are correct, but if wrong its like "a chance for learning"

which like yeah i guess but out of trying to be respectful to the student who got something wrong you make the ordeal last so much longer its humiliating

i keep doing that dwelling stress out thing about my experience yesterday in class and fuck fuck fuck its so awful i want to shrink and die and never be seen again i hate school i hate school how disgusting and embarrassing

i love learning but i hate school - reading this book for class describing a classroom experience and holy fuck the secondhand embarrassment and anxiety ive had to stop 3 times now what a horrendous environment

just so tired :( this sucks

I’m not meaning to blame my anxiety or whatever, I also just genuinely suck at talking. But then I also get in these loops where it’s like “fuck anxiety, just say your shit” and then it’s dumb or awkward or I put myself on a path I can’t follow through on

And obv that just makes future anxiety worse

Lmfao it sucks so fucking much being afraid to speak, finally doing it, then having a horrendous experience. I can feel my harmful psychological dispositions being reinforced and i hate it.

Teaching against Hierarchies: An Anarchist Approach

The state of California spends more on prisons than on colleges and universities, and the fact that these two budgetary figures are often compared shows the relationship between the two state institutions. Our classrooms, starting from a very early stage, not only prepare children to be productive members of the consumer economy but educate them for complacency in the face of state violence and mass incarceration. In attempting to move away from hierarchical models of education, this article looks at the feminist pedagogical theory of bell hooks and antiauthoritarian and anarchist theorists such as Jacques Rancière and Derrick Jensen in order to begin investigating alternatives to current education systems. It also identifies major problems in attempting to construct antihierarchical classrooms within a larger society that is still suffering from oppression and structural inequality, and claims that, if not paired with direct action, any attempt for revolutionizing education will meet up against repressive state institutions.

Basically what I expected out of YDSA meeting. They don’t meet too often so I think I’ll keep going. I’ll def follow along with reading group (someone likes Bookchin so copium maybe some libertarian socialists) and maybe will do some irl shit too if something seems interesting

Mostly progressive Democrat freshmen but plenty of ppl had done irl shit so idk, interest

I was super awk at end tho I just like listening to ppl so I just sorta sat there while ppl chatted. I wanted to talk to Bookchin person but they were busy w other ppl

based i should look up (also luxemburg too)

:/

lol sure man

lawl dude its not authoritarian if they don't intend it to be, teachers are only trying to get them to focus!!!! i hate how the language is so hidden like "emotional and social tranquility" bruh youre just saying they shut up and listened bc you coerced them to

also holy shit tyranny of the clock is like so so so real in school holy fuck

:(

:)

enjoying the 20 minutes of soft legs before my body starts doing this again

Have an important recognition of the evolution on my perspective on the contents of my will (when I die document thing yk) and gail that I wanna think through after class

"this is just as dictatorial as someone defecting" "authoritarian" guy is throwing a fit lmao like holy shit neoclassical econ brain got to him actual white guy sovereign citizen right wing libertarian arc, incredibly embarrassing

to be fair tho holy shit the appeals ppl made were so bad omg i cant imagine trying to TA for this class, ppl keep giving random answers to very clear questions but yeah idk yikes, i know intro class on something i have good deal of knowledge about but still has to be frustrating

this guy got so mad today in class - collective action problem example +.5 grade pts if all cooperate, 2.5 if 1 defect, 0 if 2+ defect. 1st round 4 defect, 2nd round we get chance to talk, conclude we do public ballot rather than private, this guy gets so pissy lmao
