"We should stop thinking in terms of 'compensatory education' but consider, instead, most seriously and systematically the conditions and contexts of the educational environment.
The very form our research takes tends to confirm the beliefs underlying the organization, transmission and evaluation of knowledge by the school. Research proceeds by assessing the criteria of attainment that schools hold, and then measures the competence of different social groups in reaching these criteria. We take one group of children, whom we know beforehand possess attributes favourable to school achievement; and a second group of children, whom we know beforehand lack these attributes. Then we evaluate one group in terms of what it lacks when compared with another. In this way research unwittingly underscores the notion of deficit and confirms the status quo of a given organization, transmission and, in particular, evaluation of knowledge. Research very rarely challenges or exposes the social assumptions underlying what counts as valid knowledge, or what counts as a valid realization of that knowledge."
- Basil Bernstein, Education Cannot Compensate for Society, in Education for Democracy (2nd ed., 1972)
#teaching tag#basil bernstein#education for democracy#quotes#education cannot compensate for society#1972#published around the same time Bernstein was writing his first books on language codes (he's better remembered now as a linguist than for#his contributions to the sociology of education‚ altho there's naturally a pretty broad overlap) and that features fairly heavily#in this paper; in particular he cites a fascinating experiment in which children from different social economic backgrounds were#asked to describe the actions in a purely pictorial story‚ with a marked contrast between the kids from working class homes#(whose descriptions were short‚ specific and required the context of the images to be understood by an outsider) and those#from privileged homes (whose descriptions were elaborate enough that the story could be understood without reference to the images)#Bernstein is very clear that this has no indicator of intelligence or ability; he's correctly identifying a difference in forms of#communication‚ particularly between different class types‚ something that would become more or less his life's work in research#he also finds time to condemn the then novel and nearly universal habit of streamlining in schools‚ and his words are brushed with anger#but that's perhaps understandable; as he himself writes‚ his own research had played some small part in the adoption of the process#despite his insistence that his work was being misunderstood at best or purposefully misused at worst#his ideas were fairly radical in 72 but with the hindsight of time he was simply displaying an empathy and#commitment to a duty of care for students‚ of all levels and abilities‚ that was demonstrably lacking then (and all too often now)

So
I had this idea
The Miya twins
being brothers yk
forgot their first names so it'll just be blondie and gray except they're both actually brownhaired here since they're like 13 yo or smt (bare with me 🙏)
basically the prompt is "Gray : How can I be homophobic, my bitch is gay
Blondie: I'M NOT!!?"
They both share pretty much the same taste in girls, okay
Like every time Blondie sees a pretty girl at school, he'll tell Gray and if Gray finds a hot actress/female singer, he'll tell Blondie...and it kind of became one of their things.
But as he grows up Blondie slowly realizes that he also finds this guy from their volleyball club kinda pretty 🤨?
Okay, boys can be pretty too so what? It can't be that big of a deal 🙄
And oh, well, the lead actor in the movie Gray just put on on their shared laptop was also pretty hot 🤨?
Blondie was reeeally trying to focus on the lead actress- which is the reason they picked this movie in the first place- but was the scene where the lead actor rip off his shirt really that necessary🤨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈??? NO he think the fuck NOT
Of course he wasn't going to discuss it with their parents and certainly not with Gray because he would tell their parents, so he did what all teenagers his age do at that age.
Googling it.
The twins have to share a computer at the moment since Gray spilled fcking Sprite on his... and that's how he found out about Blondie's search history (cuz that dumbss forgot to erase it and seems like he doesnt know about private browser mode neither)
Gray: omg ya so gay!!
Blondie: wtf-
Gray (showing the history) : I'm so going ta tell ma and pa!!
Blondie: What?! No, ya won't!! (he was really starting to panic and tried to get the computer back)
Gray: Damn, relax dude, I'm just messing with ya- ya can tell me, ya know that right? I won't judge ya.
Blondie: ya literally judging me, right now!!
Gray: Yeah, right, I was just saying, cuz like- actually how do they do that? Seems like a real pain in the ass -if ya know what I mean, huh 😏
Blondie: SHADDUP, I'm not gay!! and why did ya just watch it? Maybe ya the one who likes these kind of things!
Blondie: I'm not-
Gray: Well I'm certainly not the one bothored about it and who looks like he's about ta burst into tears
Gray: yeah whatever, I dont care
He was already moving on so fast, watching the stupidest video on ytb, eating popcorn
Blondie (with a pout) : Seriously, does it really not bother ya? at all?
Never did he really care what others thought of him. but maybe his brother's opinion mattered. A little.
Gray (already forgot the subject, mouth full with popcorn): what?
Blondie: urg. the gay thing.
Gray: Like I said, whatever. I don't care
Blondie: and... ya won't tell da parents?
Gray: Why should I
Blondie: I don't know... I thought ya would want yer revenge bc I snitched on ya, about the cookies and all
Gray: oh I am going to get my revenge. but not now. not with that. besides, I think ya're bi, not gay
Blondie: by?
Gray: yeah, like bisexual. it means ya like both men and women
Blondie: How do ya know all that 🤨🏳️‍🌈?
Gray (shrugs): Stuff I read on da internet. Ya know. when ya know how to use it.
Blondie: Oh fuck off! (pushes him aside to sit and watch the video with him)
So they did kept their thing of showing each other someone they personally find attractive.
turns out they do not share the same tastes in guys at. all.
Fin.

as a writer who both loves tragedy and doomed romance, and happy endings, who currently wants to write a lot of horror gothic whatever... i'm curious as to which impulse i should lean harder into: the tropes i enjoy in media, or the (fanfiction based?) impulse to end things mostly happy

Sayang yang malu malu
Di tenang malam, bulan terhampar memberi temaram melawan gelap Bagaikan penjaga rahasia cinta yang tak terungkap
Gemintang malam menari seusai dekapan senja, Sementara hati menyanyi rindu yang entah bagaimana bisa
Di langit hitam, sang bulan tersenyum lembut Bermain peek-a-boo dibantu awan mengejek hatiku yang tak patut
Dalam cahayanya, dibalik keheningannya, ia tahu ada dua jiwa bersatu Terpenjara ikatan indah yang tak terlihat sebab malu malu
Dibalik tirai malam bulan menjadi saksi atas keindahan rasa yang tercipta Mencatat setiap bisikan kata-kata Mengiringi tarian dua hati yang saling mengisi meski hanya lewat doa
Dua hati
Membersamai Yang tidak mesti memiliki Justru bisa jadi Mungkin itulah pesona cinta sejati Cinta yang hakiki Tanpa banyak tapi tapi Hanya memaklumi tanpa henti Meski kelak ada cinta lain mengisi Tetap cinta yang ini tak tertandingi

hello gamers minor life update I have been doing Real bad lately so I will likely continue to be very inactive, but hey on the bright side I have been fleshing out some eternal gales lore I reworked a while back and I can happily say that Dodie no longer completely contradicts the very nature of reality in eternal gales and the fog tower™ officially has a real reason to exist again so hell yeah to that
#rat rambles#eternal gales#oc posting#this is a piece of lore I technically updated a while ago but I mostly just relocated dodie home to a different piece of worldbuilding#but now Im fleshing things out a bit more and Im so glad that I set myself up such an easy way to jump ship on the old stuff#it also makes my life easier because it means that I have an actual reason for mase to be the first person dodie encounters in person#also an actual reason to trap him at first sorry dude it adds to the suspense#longggggg story short dodie lives in the universe's core of sorts#its where all the other characters are transported to at the beginning of the story due to other stuff#I already had it as a thing that the core attempts to replicate the casts home and food and such to help maintain them#but the fog tower™ had its core echo in place since forever basically#mostly because the narrator wanted to get dodie a home set up in the core instead of having to find a way to house her in notmal society#now the tower wasnt exactly meant to be found but it still had to be real enough to actually get echoed so it was real enough to be found#hense why mase's family lives in the lower half of it#the top half is fully reserved for setting up stuff to be echoed to dodie's tower#this is mostly handled my cup aka dodie's long distance mom figure#but most of that stuff was done before dodie was properly created and as such cup had to fight for their life to figure out how to best get#this child growing up in fucked up situations as happy and stable as they could with limited budget and time#they were also dealing with doing a lot of this behind the backs of mase's parents as the two wanted them to provide just the bare basics#despite this cup managed to sneak in a shit ton more video tapes than they were supposed to and attempted to cover as much as possible#ofc dodie still ended up incredibly unstable and fucked up anways but she still loves her long distance video mom dearly#up til she was like 12 or so those tapes were the only way she could see and hear another person#but yeah in the echoed version the lower half of the tower is mostly consumed by plantlife and the such#hense why dodie avoids the area like the plague she has hashtag issues regarding plants#oh yeah Ive also been thinking abt fydd a lot lately#I have been slowly developing a bit of a side plot for him in my head that Im not 100% sure Im going to commit to but Im mivrowaving it#basically I was thinking abt each of the human casts sort of quote unquote domains are#by that I mean the whole reason they get drawn to the universe core is because theyre all sorta connected to universe functions#fydd is one of the weird ones because his place in the system is the basic software ig would be the best way to put it?#hes connected to the very base of the system that the rest of the functions are built into

मोटिवेशनल स्टोरी – एक राजा की अद्भुत कहानी
यह एक राजा की अद्भुत और जबरदस्त मोटिवेशनल कहानी है | किसी नगर में एक राजा रहता था | राजा बूढ़े होने को आ गए पर उनको कोई बेटा नहीं हुआ सिर्फ एक बेटी थी | राजा को बहुत चिंता होने लगी की अब मेरा इतना बड़ा साम्राज्य कैसे सम्हलेगा ? इसकी देखभाल कौन कर पायेगा ?
एक दिन अचानक भगवान का नाम लेकर राजा ने यह निर्णय लिया की कल सुबह जो भी हमारे दरवाजे पर आने वाला पहला व्यक्ति होगा मैं अपनी बेटी से उसका विवाह कर दूंगा और अपना नया उत्तराधिकारी बना दूंगा |
अगले दिन सुबह – सुबह एक फटी पुरानी कमीज पहने एक लड़का दरवाजे पर दस्तक देता है | राजा ने प्रभु इक्षा समझ कर अपने निर्णय के अनुसार अपनी बेटी की शादी उस लड़के के साथ कर देता है और अपना सारा राज – पाट उसे देकर पहाड़ो पर सन्यास को चला जाता है |
अब ये नया राजा राजपाट के बारे में जानकारी इकठ्ठा करने की कोशिस करता है | राज्य कैसे सम्हालना है ? युद्ध में कैसे जाना है ? क्या तैयारी होनी चाहिए ? ताकि बहुत अच्छा राजा साबित हो | उसने अलग – अलग काम अपने अलग – अलग मंत्रिओं को दे रखा था जैसे राजकोष वित्तमंत्री को , सेना की बाग – डोर सेनापति को , और ऐसे ही अन्य कई मंत्रिओं को अपने मंत्रिमंडल में शामिल कर रखा था 
नए राजा के संचालन में राज्य बहुत बढ़िया से चल रहा था | सारी प्रजा पुराने राजा की बहुत तारीफ कर रही थी की , क्या राजा चुना है महाराज ने , समस्त प्रजा के हमदर्द बनकर सदैव खड़े रहते है |

Nothing like the feeling when you feel like you're supposed to be productive but there's not really much you can do so you just sit back and simmer in your inferiority complex and contemplate the fact that grades really are more of an arbitrary method of judgement in a way certainly influenced by personal bias and the teachers mood and opinions and the students day and overall mental state and that they really say nothing about a students abilities and capabilities and even if my teacher told me i produce a slodge of unhelpful wordmaterial that doesn't mean I suck at the english language and am incapable if bringing things to the, to put it in her words, " 'points' which are often repetitive" with my limited analytic vocabulary. As if the grasp I have on the english language isn't at least native level. As if I'm not perfectly capable of being short and concise. Just because I'm not the best at interpreting short stories and mark my quotations wrong which, I might add! wouldn't be a bloody issue if they actually told you what to do different when they correct their blasted rigged exams. But yeah sure me not revising is the issue.

Lunch with the Person Who Dumped You: The For-Old-Times'-Sake-Lunch
It's like a movie adaptation of your favorite novel, a theme park ride version of your favorite movie. It's a Xerox of a Xerox, a shadow of a ghost.
