We're told that giving aid to the poor kills motivation. False. What has killed motivation? Corporate tax breaks. At the height of American innovation (1975-93) the corporate tax rate was between 35-46%. Now the lowest in 80 years, and innovation & productivity has stagnated. matthewdesmondbooks.com

We love to glorify the rich as driven and self-made while painting the poor as lazy freeloaders. But the reality is Americaβs wealthiest take in more handouts than anyone, while blaming those who need it most. This is the true nature of our welfare state. #poverty matthewdesmondbooks.com

Stop Telling Kids Their Lives Arenβt Real
βThe goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather, better adults than you have been.'' -- Adora Svitka
"In the real world..." How often do we use this phrase to justify lessons or issue warnings? This blog explores how invoking "the real world" can alienate students and offers insights into fostering compassionate, relevant teaching.
