If you’re an educator and/or parent who’s experiencing increased pressure to accept getting infected because everyone around you is saying that "COVID is unavoidable everyone will get it so stop being anxious there's nothing you can do". Please hear us out when we say you are not alone, and even if you are hearing these lies from loved ones, they are lies.
We have reached out and interviewed 2 schools that prioritized community care over profits thus making all of their decisions centered around community care.

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.

James from Prolekult is back! We start up with a discussion, and a few laughs, about British documentarian Adam Curtis and his new BBC series, Can’t Get You Out of My Head. Then, we talk about the current situation with the National Health Service, a few other current events, and why more means less.

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.

When we talk about systems, we should be talking about a system not individuals. When we use words to describe what we stand for, we should mean everything that comes with it. But too often we don’t. Sammie and Adam touch on these concepts in a wide ranging discussion on the pandemic, police murders, and sexism in purportedly ‘leftist’ spaces. Sammie shares a number of personal experiences and Adam offers sage like wisdom such as “White people, shut the fuck up.”

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.

On today's episode John discusses why we must defund and abolish the police.
Is a system that needs more funding/training to not shoot a child worthy of being saved?’
Maybe the system is just doing what it was originally designed to do: kill.
Maybe it’s time to invest in people instead.
Maybe it’s time to collectively build new systems, designed for us.
There is no reform to the police system. Abolition is the answer.

Adam and Christina continue their chitty chat about the ways in which capitalism distorts our feelings. In this second installment, they dive into the way capitalism commodifies our very real, negative personal experiences, necessitated by a model of constant production, and then sells them back to us as mental health. Along the way, the conversation touches on the oddities of advertising about anxiety & depression, dismantling the ideology of the labor system, and theme parks.

As a teacher have you felt like you don't want to teach any more? You aren't alone! Feeling like this does not make you a bad teacher. That is why we are sharing our brutally honest feelings about the topic.
Not only do Gord and I share our own feelings on the topic - spoiler we both have felt this way countless times. We also share reddit posts about this topic, a great slam poem by an amazing educator, and I share a hot take - under the current education system teaching is not a noble profession it's a lie told to keep us working hard while being paid crap wages and paid little to no respect.
If you have any questions or just would like to talk to us about this episode please do. We would like to hear from you.

Pimlico Academy, a school in central London, made headlines on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 when students protested against their racist head teacher Dan Smith.
Dan Smith tried to implement Christian hymns, tried to over-emphasis 'British values' in a manner that alienated senior staff, 30 of who left and were subsequently replaced by like minded ideologues. The head teacher also banned afros saying that they “blocked the views" of other students, banned colorful hijabs, and didn’t do anything after 3 cases of sexual harassment and rape occurred in the school.
Today two students of Pimlico Academy join us to explain what happened and share their thoughts about everything related to their successful protest and their racist head teacher.

Adam and Christina get down to the business of how capitalism distorts our feelings, starting off with all the clichéd phrases we’ve all learned to rely on when someone is having a tough time. Then, we move into the current movements that are meant to make up for defunct US health care system—self-help gurus and psychoanalysis…shit like the Minimalists, Aubrey Marcus, and the Tiny House movement.

NYC parent Rafael Lena shares his thoughts on the COVID Open Schools movement, education in this country, and much more.
It was a pleasure talking with a parent that not only doesn't hate teachers but understands that we all (parents, students, and teachers) need solidarity if we are going to succeed as a caring, empathetic, and loving society.

John, and guest Deanna discuss why they both decided to take leave this school year and why they believe other teachers should take leave too.
We also discuss the racism inherent in the "Open Schools" movement, our sad predictions for the future of education in this country, and our hopeful predictions as well.
It was a pleasure talking with another teacher who made the same decision I made and didn't try to teach in this toxic environment.
