OK #teachers I have a fun challenge for you!

I'm working with a 15-year-old who reads and writes at a kindergarten level [insert rant about how we leave Black students behind from the beginning].

He's smart enough that he's faked it until 9th grade and is now having an "oh shit" moment where he doesn't think he can keep going like this.

Any tips for teaching a 15-year-old, very little parental involvement, to read and write from the basics? I have done it with little kids but it's a whole different thing when it's a teen.

(I don't think the mechanisms of teaching are different but the pride and shame around it sure are. Also when you're a Black kid who's been ignored/dismissed/ridiculed by mostly white teachers your whole life, there's a bunch of emotions that come with that.)

Still looking for a possible #TeacherMastodon or #TeachersOfMastadon group that's as effective in helping teachers fund classroom projects (like via DonorsChoose or #clearthelists) as #TeacherTwitter...

Hey #teachers, who knows anything about Panorama? Good? Bad?

Schools in the UK are facing an unprecedented funding crisis, threatening staff redundancies, larger class sizes, restrictions to the curriculum & the elimination of support services.
