'Taking and passing the baton’, a conversation with Manny.
On this episode from @ewbpod, Mahlon (@SuperMahrio) and Manny (@Mannyawo) have an EXTENDED conversation about the legacy of the education system inherited by the previous generation as well as the hopes of correcting some of the harmful impacts endured throughout their own.
We talk about how structural racism and discrimination are ever present in the education system and how pattern spotting - being something that all educators are trained to do - can reveal a very different sequence of events when an equity/justice lens is placed over it.
We explore critical moments of our educational experience including a teacher explicitly volunteering a hierarchical view of Black diaspora as a means of endearment after passing a GCSE and where the structural system of racism upholds teachers who are able to lie on students, cause chaos and irreversible trajectories and not be held accountable.
It is a brilliant and blunt episode that explores and explains why more engagement in understanding and recalling experiences of the education system is crucial to the advancement of Black students going forward.
