"I see this stratification in the classroom and on the page every week. My students from districts that protected sustained reading through small class sizes, strict phone policies, and faculty who refused to teach to the test all arrive with their attention relatively intact. My students from districts that surrendered to devices and standardized testing arrive cognitively winded. A democracy that requires a literate electorate is now training one fraction of that electorate out of literacy while marketing to the other a “deep work” lifestyle as a luxury good. The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." #literacy #education #books #democracy

More from Sarah in our fictional space , The safety of a queer space:
I couldn't sing in front of him, Sarah said. Isn't that a strange thing to notice about yourself? She wasn't asking them. She was turning it over in her own hands. I'd be in the car with my child and we'd belt out everything—AJR, Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews, CCR, Queen—windows down, voices embarrassing—and then if he was in the car I'd go completely quiet.

A UK national security assessment (Jan 2026) identifies biodiversity loss as a long‑term systemic risk.
It doesn’t tell schools what to do—and that’s the point.
When risks become foreseeable, professional responsibility shifts. This post explores how to read such documents without alarmism—and why education can’t pretend this context doesn’t matter.
