On this episode, Gord gets to chat with members and facilitators of The Party For Reclamation and Survival Party School. We discuss topics surrounding how their classes are set up and how they are facilitated, along with the topics they covered, comparing them to more conventional classroom structures and learning methods. We go onto discuss methods that radical educators within the system might engage their students in a dialectic learning experience through engaging in questions and context-building stories to help better understand concepts and ideas. You can find the Party for Reclamation and Survival at on Twitter at @Reclaim_Survive and contact their party school at ras (dot) school (at) protonmail (dot) com.

If someone’s job requires an appreciation Week it means they aren’t getting paid enough. I hate Teacher Appreciation Week because it only magnifies all the ways teachers are NOT appreciated. I'd really rather it just not happen at all. Or alternatively, maybe it would be best if it happened all year round, in our paychecks, and in our working conditions. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit teacher appreciation week nonsense. If you appreciate us, fight to get schools funded, cops out of schools, end schools shootings, and at the very least treat us with the dignity and respect of being fellow human beings. You think all the bullshit we deal with is fixed with dunkin donuts gift cards?

  Gord is joined again by Zitkato, one of the hosts of Bands of Turtle Island to continue their discussion on Decolonization.    In this second part, Zitkato leads us through how lifestyleism - theorizing without real actions to help others materially - is patronizing and doesn't actually empower anyone. Zikato also shares his own experiences growing up in the colonial education system, and much more.    Little Red School House is committed to taking part in Decolonization and our first step is to start with us.

On today's episode we were fortunate to be joined by a truly talented, and empathy filled educator, Jennifer Binis. Jennifer discusses how teaching began as a job only for women. We also discuss feminism and how white feminists in the Open School movement think feminism is telling other women to quit their job if they feel unsafe? We had a blast talking with each other and hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

69 - White Feminism And The Open Schools Movement With Jennifer Binis

This podcast focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education. Shouldn’t people be put before profits? Shouldn’t our children be educated to grow and learn instead of being treated like the means to the financial gain of those in power? If you agree with this so called “radical” and “revolutionary” perspective, you’ve come to the right place! Join educators Gord Milstone and John Battalion as they call out systemic problems and discuss how we can break down barriers in the educational system.

As an educator so deeply entrenched in capitalism it is so heartening to hear these two teachers reflect the things that I see every day yet are so often left unsaid. I am in love with the idea of a worker-owned cooperative school and look forward to seeing the idea continue to develop and grow into something substantive and material. Education is so often where theory and praxis meet and I’m so glad there are leftist teachers out there looking for ways to help improve education for all!

Heartening and useful

Been waiting for a podcast on radical education. This one delivers!

Finally!

That is why we also share ways that we challenge the capitalist grading structure within our own classrooms and offer ways that we can educate without grading.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Red School House focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education.

In today’s Truly Talented episode, we meet Adam, a left-wing academic who is joining our movement. Adam uses what is called Cultural Historical Theory, a system of inquiry popularized by Marxist educators and educational philosophers like Lev Vygotsky to critique research practices, along with using the theory as an approach to training educators he works with. Adam has had a few stages in his educational journey that he shares with us and we hope his insights help us to see the need for a left-wing perspective to the methods of educating and researching. We also talk about the current COVID-19 crisis and how it will make for a major paradigm shift in many aspects of society, not to mention education Follow us on Twitter @LRedSchoolHouse.

30 - Student Spotlight - XOZYPEDIA

On this episode, we discuss a Youtube video created and released by content creator Jim Sterling titled "The Addictive Cost of Predatory Video Game Monetization". Using this video we delve into the predatory nature of Capitalism through the lens of video games. Learn about the British family that had one of their accounts emptied out by their children just by playing Fifa, and a chef who's gambling addiction was targeted by video game micro transaction. Then we will share with you audio from Torulf Jernström, a mobile studio CEO whose tactics for hunting "whales" - the prime targets of microtransactions - sound scarily like instructions for selling drugs. From "Hook Habit Hobby" you're about to learn just how low this industry's tricks get. Warning this gets horrible if you have empathy.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------   Little Red School House focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education.

9 - The Predatory Nature of Capitalism through the lens of Video Games

After listening to our episode "Grades are Capitalism in Action,” a former student from Jefferson County Open School in Denver reached out to us. “I never got a single grade while attending JCOS,” Edward told us. Obviously, this sparked our interest. This led to a fantastic conversation that had become one of our favorite episodes. Not only did we get to hear about Edward's experience as a student of an open school, but we also got to speak to his former advisor and former teacher from the same open school, too.
