Why a Truly Liberating Education Is Imperative
This entire journal is dedicated to the theme of democracy. Exhibited are many teachers’ and students’ answers to "what is democracy"? I ask further questions: Why has democracy disappeared in our country? And can democracy exist in our schools? This nation is ours to shape, to create, to criticize, and to democratically raise our voices. As I stand in front of my class, the definition of democracy that was taught to me in my youth rings through my ears: a nation of, by, and for the people. This was a main principle upon which this nation was built. Unfortunately, those same forefathers were slave owning, misogynist, white men. Their idea of democracy was never to include all of the people. But they were onto something remarkable. I think the true potential of democracy, one where the people have an informed, legitimate, and constant say in the shaping of this nation, is something we should strive for. To that end, I have chosen to struggle to make my school more democratic. Indeed, my struggle begins within my very own classroom where I try to make my curriculum and my class environment democratic. I can’t say this is an easy task. Our schools are over-crowded and under-funded. Add to that, a conservative need for artificial and superficial "accountability" causing congress people, district big wigs, and administrators to scramble for higher test scores, and my workplace often seems the antithesis of democratic. Nevertheless, when I close my classroom door, what goes on is up to my students and me.

On March 12th, I officially began working from home, as did many Americans. The following day, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year old Black woman, was shot and killed while she slept when Louisville police ransacked and fired through her home. The week after, my teenage brother started remote learning when New York City public schools closed. While Breonna Taylor’s murder made local news, the rest of the nation carried on as the primary focus at the time was this new, remote learning. One county and city at a time, public schools shut down as the United States joined a national quarantine.

Besides, the time when the teacher's duty was to provide students with education only are long gone. In some cases, people might say that those days never existed.

HOW TO FIND RIGHT TOPIC FOR YOUR COURSE
1. KNOW ABOUT YOUR PASSION AND STRENGTH: Now when you have decided to make your course first thing is to know about your passion. Ask yourself a question What are you passionate about? What you like to learn? Where your interest lies? What you enjoy to do and write it down. Being passionate about your work will surely make your course less a mission and more a passion project. This in return will result in more interaction and engagement with your audience. Knowing and contrasting your passion with your abilities will help you find the happy place where you are strongly interested in a subject and have the skills to provide outstanding training. Go ahead and build a list of all the stuff you're good at. Ask your friends and family to tell you what they think you are good at. You should also note down something that people ask for help with these skills, which you typically take for granted.
