I really should sleep. Instead I’m…. uhh… reading Reddit. It’s a fascinating thread about poverty.
But this other one is one is a super neat thing about educating students who come from a variety of kinds of poverty. This is good stuff for anyone who provides direct instruction. How do you help your kids overcome deficits?
oh my god
I am going to tell you what my friend A told me when I told him I had come across that website.
Back away. Back away slowly.
No.
Quickly.
Yeah.
In retrospect I strongly wish I had taken his advice. And whatever you do, _don’t_ create an account!
Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 🙂
Although, following your link, I actually thought of you and your Aunt V when I read that.
I will never create a Reddit account and I’ve only read maybe three threads total from there and I don’t plan to look much more. 🙂
I see interesting things that relate to my life all over these documents. I have poverty, middle class, and wealthy markers. I like to keep things interesting.
I was curious to see what the author’s opinions on common core was, since her rubric seems like a potential precursor. Google search gave me “The Best Critiques Of Ruby Payne” which mostly seem questionable to me on a first read, however this one sounded credible:

These criticisms seem legit. I can only say that her experiences are fairly similar to mine and that inclines me to question it less closely. I am also not working with children other than my own as a job so I am not super worried about the exact validity of every theory I am interested in hearing about. Even if it isn’t right all the time it might be interesting to keep in mind as a sometimes tool.
