the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

BALITANG NASYONAL: 'Brigada Eskwela 2023' readies School Year of 2023-2024, promoting Toxic-Free & Waste-Free environment at the Elementary School in Quezon City

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Mass Communication Student at Piapi High School, Freelance Online Media & Broadcaster for OneNETtv Channel and News Writer, Reporter & Presenter of OneNETnews)

QUEZON, MANILA -- The Department of Education-National Capital Region (DepEd-NCR), Local Government Units in Quezon City (LGU-QC) and a toxic watchdog group BAN Toxics aims to promote a toxic-free and waste-free environment during a nationwide programme of 'Brigada Eskwela 2023' at the Toro Hills Elementary School (T.H.E.S.) in Brgy. Bahay Toro, Quezon City, Metro Manila. Student residents in this said city ensure T.H.E.S. readies for the upcoming School Year in late-August 2023.

Per the Department of Education (DepEd) Order #21, Series of 2023; 'Brigada Eskwela' is a nationwide school maintenance program activity that encourages education stakeholders to ensure that schools including T.H.E.S. are all set in time for the opening of classes the said scheduled date until graduation in mid-2024 onwards. The theme for this year in the aforesaid programme with a slogan called "Bayanihan para sa Matatag na Paaralan" (Community of Unity for a Strong School).

“As classes resume, we ramp up efforts to ensure our children and teachers (in Quezon City) are safe from toxic exposure and schools aggressively promote safe and environment-friendly alternatives, and sound chemicals & waste management”, said Thony Dizon, whose a Toxics Campaigner of BAN Toxics.

Quezon City officials, students, teachers, parents and community partners have all participated in the event. Toxics Campaigner of BAN Toxics (Thony Dizon) and Executive Director (Reynaldo San Juan Jr.) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between T.H.E.S. and a toxic watchdog group emphasizing the commitment to the Toxics-Free Schools Program (TFSP).

The TFSP is a campaign of the aforesaid toxic watchdog group started in 2014 to encourage educational institutions to adopt sound chemicals and waste management in their operations and develop school-based awareness to protect the students and faculty members from the harmful effects of toxic chemicals & hazardous wastes. Some of the toxic chemicals that may be scientifically present in schools include lead, mercury, phthalates, cadmium and arsenic. Exposure to these chemicals pose serious health risks to children & school personnel. The program also promotes proper waste management both in school and at home in Quezon City alone. This includes proper waste segregation, implementing the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle); urban gardening and composting, and minimization of single-use plastics usage.

"We thus enjoin schools and academic institutions to incorporate TFSP and similar initiatives into their curriculum and practice to protect them against the negative effects of chemicals and wastes that could be found in schools, aside from communities and homes", as Dizon added.

“Brigada Eskwela should not be a one-time event, ensuring that the schools are safe and environment-friendly should be prioritized. We call the attention of the Department of Education to adopt a system approach to be able to protect the students, teachers, and school personnel from everyday exposure to toxic and waste”, the toxic watchdog group said in a Media Conference to OneNETnews.

Aside from kicking off the 'Brigada Eskwela' event, solicitations and contributions will be strictly forbidden during and after its maintenance activity, per the radio interview of DWPM-AM's Radyo 630: Manila. A school-wide clean-up drive was organized to promote cleanliness and sustainability, beginning August 14th, 2023 and ends on Saturday afternoon (Manila local time).

Some schools are preparing the 'Brigada Eskwela' nationwide and is already well underway. A cleaner, more environmentally friendly school opens on Tuesday morning (August 29th, 2023) in the National Capital Region (NCR).
