Early Year Education: The Science

When I and TheRoyStory started working on the content for Eduqation, we decided to begin from the very basics of a child’s learning journey. So I started looking into the importance of a child’s Early Year Education. Read full blog here- https://eduqation.co/2022/09/26/early-year-education-the-science/

I keep thinking how sad Quill Kipps' whole deal is. He's brought up as a child soldier and he becomes quite good at it, good enough to work at one of the best agencies. He works hard, suffers, loses people, carries on because it's all got to be worth it. He ages in a system that prioritizes youth and feels everything special about him slowly starting to slip away. He has put everything into being an elite agent and he's about to age out of everything he's ever known.

He gets tangled with an unruly bunch of independent agents. They're annoying rule breakers but god they're amazing. Part of his beef with them is he can feel their talent rolling off them in waves making him acutely aware of how his is almost used up. When it becomes unsafe for him to pretend any more, he does what other agents do and becomes a supervisor. He keenly feels the separation from himself and agents in the field and finds he now can't just sit on the sidelines and watch others put their lives at stake when he can't help.

He's adrift, nothing to his name but his old reputation and a set of skills that are no longer useful. He ends up tangled back with the independents because they trust him - need him - and by god does he want to be needed. He wants so desperately to be part of their world again. They find some goggles that allow him to see visitors again and he's like a kid at Christmas. He can finally be involved again! It doesn't have to be over!

While working with them he learns everything he was taught to believe in was a lie, the prestigious agency he gave his entire being for is causing the rise of spirits. Once his involvement is found out, he loses his pension and privileges. He is cut off entirely from his old support system. With nothing left, the independents take him in. He's useful but he knows it's more out of pity. He works hard, almost dies and fights to dismantle the very establishment he spent his best years serving. The battle is won but things stay the same for him.

He is still a young adult clinging with aching fingers onto his childhood and teen years because that was the only way he had purpose. His closest friends are still young teens, five or more years younger than him. He chastises them for their childishness even as he desires more than anything to be one of them. He is Peter Pan, refusing to grow up because there is nothing for him as an adult in haunted England. He does not even look towards his future because he cannot let go of his shining past where he was actually needed.

#lockwood and co #the more I write kipps the more sad I get for him #I grew to like him in the books but getting in his head really hammers home his inherent tragedy #most 21-22 year olds would HATE hanging with 15-16 year olds #but he desperately wants to be one of them again because thats all he knows #the agent system builds these kids up with power and prestige and then throws them to the curb as adults #youre not special anymore not useful #but what is he supposed to do? He stopped education early and he's aged out of his most useful skills #quill kipps

"It's so hard to teach kids consent 🥺" WRONG! Library books be upon ye!

Yes Means Yes, by Elaine Tai: "The various, "everyday" scenarios include the desire to touch someone's hair, play that can frustrate or hurt someone, and how someone might feel uncomfortable being touched or approached. Children will learn the importance of using their voice and listening when others use theirs, and parents can use the scenes as a foundation for further conversation."

Connor Kissed Me, by Zehava: "After Connor kisses Miriam on the playground, she tells a number of people who have differing reactions to the incident, until her mother encourages her to listen to and stand up for her own feelings."

Talking to kids about important topics goes way easier when you give them a basic expectation of what these experiences and situations might look like!

Additionally:

Emphasize to children that barring all necessary medical or safety interventions, their body belongs to them, and shouldn't be touched without permission. Yes, this does mean the conversation about vaccinations is going to take longer than usual. Consider it a trade-off.

Emphasize the affirmation, not the rejection! Sometimes people say no, and we respect that, and sometimes friends say YES to hugs and cheek kisses, and we get to share that with them!

There are plenty of alternatives to hugs and kisses! Don't want a hug? How about a high five? How about a pinky-promise? If you can't hold hands, why don't you hold onto my jacket, or I can hold onto your sleeve? Teaching kids how to ask for and offer alternatives when their peer says "No" goes a long way.

Encourage little kids not to keep "body secrets" at the request of others from their parents. If someone is asking them to hide something about their body from their parent, that's a huge concern.

Ask before hugging. Ask before kissing. Make other adults— yes, even nosy relatives—ask your child before a hug or a kiss. You can even model asking for physical affection with the co-parent if you have one. Modeling respect is worth it.

Lots of daycares are working harder to teach consent to younger children at younger ages. Some daycares are very proactive. Some are not. If you are in a position where you are interviewing multiple facilities about whether or not to place your child there, it's something that you can ask. "Do you have a stance on hugging between children, or between children and adults? What does it look like? Do you encourage boundary setting?"

And I like to think that we're beyond telling children that their bullies are secretly interested in them or want their attention but stop telling children that the other children who are harassing them are showing interest. 🔪 Stop it.

Children deserve safe, strong, respected boundaries! 🫂

I ate a homemade breakfast of chocolate-flavored coffee and 'loaded' avocado toast this morning at the bus stop.

Got to campus with over an hour before lab class. So I sat and read my library book. Ended up finishing it.

Today's chem lab was about the Conductivity of different compounds. We have to use the data to make scatter charts and them use those scattered charts to finish the lab worksheet. It's all due by next Thursday.

Took the kids to the playground and then out to the diner for supper.

Now at home, I'm deep cleaning my room since I haven't been able to since classes first started.

Don't you find the strict rules of society in Japan overwhelming for you and the kids?

not one bit

#i can’t express how safe i have felt here versus the US over the past several years specifically #no guns… good healthcare… clean environment… good childcare benefits… good food… #no strong religious chokehold permeating society #vaccines and masking aren’t a moral conundrum #functioning public transportation system #functioning postal system #don’t have to worry about people randomly yelling at you #many convenience stores open 24/7 #focus on seasonal eating so produce tastes better and you appreciate it more #i can walk the streets at night #in my city all childcare costs and child medical costs are waived up to 3 years old #cost of childbirth fully covered including a week long stay in the hospital after #you can drink the water #early public education has a focus on community and natural science #credit cards are automatically set up to autopay out of your bank account #my company does my taxes for me #did i mention no guns? #i could go on #like i have my philosophical issues with the country for sure but my base needs are covered and that means a lot as a parent

I completely don't understand how were people so mad at Suvi for the "Bring them to me" thing.

First, the last time she didn't wait for Steel, a bunch of people died and her own friends almost died in Port Talon. Again a reminder that they were level 1 characters tackling colossal troubles.

Second, Steel is basically Suvi's mother here!!! She's the only family Suvi has, that any of them had up until that point. They don't have an older authoritative figure to whom they could turn to except for her.

Third, Suvi has grown up in this world, by these rules, cared for and taught by these people, who can judge her for not becoming a true rebel in the span of very fraught three months of half-adventuring? Especially when it was the citadel's title that saved her ass multiple times in the past.

Fourth, as far as both she and Ame knew, Ame would die in the council of witches without Suvi, why would she go without her? Ame had this half hope Suvi would follow, but again, only half and a 50/50 bet when talking of her life is too high as risk.

And yet at the end of all of this, she goes to Ame's aid even with her broken heart because her best friend's life is more important than her pride.

#i'm such a cliche of the suvi defence squad but like #it wasn't that deep? #i mean it was to them. but for the story? it doesn't feel that out of character #it was suvi's way of protecting them. from themselves and from the punishment of the citadel #was it a bit controlling? yes definitely. but this is a girl being raised and educated to take an authority position #and yes girl. you're a girl at 20 by a fellow girl in her early 20s #a position she's so close to taking after years of preparing for this #suvirin kedberiket #suvi the wizard #wbn spoilers #wbn liveblogging #wwwo

it’s easy to ignore the stupid bits of age gap discourse bc people always say things like “people in their early 20s are all basically children with no life experience, the only possible life status they can have is University Student”. people who say stuff like that have a severe case of Not Knowing Any Working Class People disorder and therefore do not need to be taken seriously in any way.

#lots of people in their early 20s have kids! or have been supporting themselves for many years! lots of people do not go to university! #obv not only working class people #but if you only know people who are university educated that says something about the demographics you associate with #and your perspective on the world in general #tell a 21 year old with two kids that she’s basically a child with no life experience i dare you

"From a very early age the child becomes part of a pattern he never fully understands and is powerless to change. It is a pattern that is made up of rituals - of form periods, morning assemblies, lessons that follow each other in quick succession for no apparent reason, bells rung by other people that govern his changes of activity, milk, school dinners, homework. His life is part of a scheme that has been devised by people he does not know, and into which he is expected to fit without question.

And it is here that we come to the real content of our educational structure. At school, the child is taught by experience that it is normal for other people to organize his life. He will be told in Civics or History that he lives in a democracy, which means that people govern themselves. But he will know as an experienced fact that he must expect to be governed by other people who know better than he does."

- Albert Hunt, The Tyranny of Subjects, in Education for Democracy (2nd ed., 1972)

#teaching tag #education for democracy #albert hunt #quotes #the tyranny of subjects #1972 #education #teaching #this is proving a valuable read; it's necessarily dated‚ and some of the ideas that must have seemed revolutionary in the late 60s and #early 70s are now taken for granted in most popular approaches to pedagogical ideals. elsewhere tho there are radical suggestions for #completely new approaches to comprehensive teaching which still carry merit and would still bear further investigation (and remain just as #unlikely to see implementation under the current uk culture of education). many of the articles and papers collected in this book were #written under a Conservative government that was slowly undoing what small progress had been made in the field of universal education #by the previous labour gov. in the 59 years since publication‚ that baton has gone forwards and backwards several times‚ with seemingly #ever slower and smaller progress made at the expense of ever greater compromise and deconstruction. two steps forwards‚ one step back; same #as it ever was. same as it may well ever be

Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld lecturing on sexology in Different From the Others (1919 dir. Richard Oswald), a silent film arguing against German legal code Section 175, which criminalized homosexuality. Parts of the film are lost due to the later Nazi government's attempt to destroy all copies of it.

#pictures of queer people from decades ago and in this case over a hundred years ago make me so. like. god #also watching this film and realizing that was the actual magnus hirschfeld on film trying to educate people on gender & sexuality #as early as 1919. fucking hell man!! #also wanted to add that last gif to really emphasize how many people wanted to work on this film. how many people sat in that lecture hall #to be a part of making this activist film about normalizing queerness. in 1919. that's so many people #ntm crew and the other actors and everyone who pieced it back together when it was burned #and translated it #and made the cards in between saying what was supposed to happen in the lost scenes #:( #cricket gifs #magnus hirschfeld #different from the others #long post #queer history #lgbt #lgbt history

Elwing, who ruled a mixed elven-human town of refugees, who managed diplomacy while her husband was away, who spoke multiple languages and loved the waves, was a much greater influence on the politics of early Númenor than local boat dad Eärendil or feral coleader of a political movement turned jewelry-ownership cult crawling towards the end of the world Maglor.

#elros got most of his adult skills from human leaders and Gil-galad and Círdan #but his early education is down to Elwing #Maglor taught him the basics of PR spin and some desperate tactics as well as seventy ways to feed a warband in a wasteland #all of which are useful but not civilization building #you think the feanorians were constructing stuff and improving in those last horrible years #as the earth began to surrender to Morgoth’s blight? #nah that was their mad max boarding school period #Elwing was the one showing them how to open oysters #how to defuse city council meetings #how to thatch roofs #and mend fishing nets #how to not just survive but thrive #how to speak Gondolin Quenya and Taliska and Sindarin #elros is especially her child #he’s the one who chose to rule! #who chose the sea and the press of people #the valar’s gift over middle earth #Elrond is the artist the hermit the one limboing from positions of ultimate authority like Eärendil and Maglor #Maglor’s time holding the high kingship football was a stalling pattern and by god was he good at it #but there’s not evidence he was good st much else #second sons born into the house of feanor only know slaughter their enemies write epic poems play the harp and lie #thinking again about that post on parallels between Eärendil and Maglor thank you warrioreowynofrohan
