Love all of these, and as ND teacher of ND young people, I couldn't agree more.
Given the proportion of ND young folk who are also gender non-conforming and LGBTQI+ then if I could add anything to this brilliant piece, it would be around the language we use and the assumptions we make in these areas.
All of these ideas would make a dream class room for my kid. In my 26 years of parenting, I have never seen a classroom subscribe to treating its students this way. That’s why we have to homeschool.
Excellent lists! When my daughter was a 1st grader (20+ years ago), my husband and I volunteered in the classroom. We were amazed to see kids walking around while the teacher was teaching. She told us later that she scribed to many of the ideas you have above. When our daughters were diagnosed with ADHD in their teens, we were pleased to see that several other teachers, not all, but a good amount were moving in the directions above and could provide support.

I know! But it shouldn’t be that farfetched.
