Educating Trayvon Martin « Cooperative Catalyst
I stand for justice for Trayvon, not because he was a “good kid”, as has been brought up many times in the media. In my opinion, that’s neither here nor there. Even if Trayvon had just been released from jail, he still has a right to live! There is NO evidence that he posed a threat to anyone, so why is no one being held accountable for his murder?
I think this is a very relevant issue for educators, because we must be aware of the type of society we are preparing our students for. How can I encourage the young black men who walk into my classroom to do their best and look to the future if they know full well that they can be shot down in cold blood by someone and nothing will be done about it?
All of the changes that we make to our education system in an effort to close the achievement gap mean absolutely nothing if our students are not safe in their own country. How can we trust a government that would allow this to happen to a black boy to fix an education system that has failed so many of them? No matter how this situation ends, it is a sad reminder that we have a lot more work to do to make our country a place where EVERYONE has a right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.
I know that I will be talking to my kids about why it is so important to vote, be politically involved and to watch how their lawmakers react to situations like this. I also want them to know that soon it will be THEIR responsibility to create the society they want to live in–it’s not a spectator sport.
What will you say to your students about this?

Imagine walking through a forest and seeing just a glimpse of these awesome invisible figures! They’re the creative work of artist Rob Mulholland, who makes these sculptures out of mirrored Perspex (or acrylic glass). It has been called the Predator effect after the 1987 film where an alien life form seamlessly blends into its background. Mulholland has previously installed these chameleon-like figures in the woods around Alloa, Loch Ard and the David Marshall Lodge in Scotland.
Mulholland told BBC Scotland that the key to the effect was creating a distorted reflection. “It alters reality, one moment you see them and the next moment they blend in. There’s an ambiguity to it - it doesn’t answer all the questions.”

d'Book: 犯贱心理学
jinn:
- 当一个男人同时对两个女孩子有好感时，他更爱谁取决于谁更不爱他。这是传说中的犯贱心理学
- 如果有一天，你在街上碰到了你的前任恋人和ta的新欢在一起，请不要心酸。不想输就记得妈妈说过的话：“因为自小我们的妈妈就教我们要把旧玩具，捐赠给比自己更不幸的人。
- 那个人突然不联系你了，很正常;那个人突然又联系你了，也很正常，这什么也不说明。这句话就如同，别人访问你主页并不代表别人想念你或者对你感兴趣，也有可能别人正在给身边人举例解说什么是傻逼。
- 我们最讨厌听到的话，深表同感。
