jabiz raisdana

Geographically, Raisdana is a California native but has been teaching internationally for the past eight years, including stints in Malaysia, Qatar and—most recently—the Sinarmas World Academy in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“The idea of community building is really important to me,” Raisdana said. Given his own pedagogical philosophy in which he visualizes his classroom as “less of a classroom and more of a community”, this statement comes as no surprise. ”

quote from him on twitter:

If you have to teach someone how to use a tool, do they really need it? Don’t we learn how to use what we need on our own?

Every massacre is proof that we have failed to understand each other.

We owe it to the beauty of humanity to keep working toward a better understanding of each other.

Aware enough to know that I’m privileged with an emotional surplus- read as wasting time being bored by ennui and wallowing in melancholy. I watch sad movies about lucky people, finding beauty in their sadness, more than worrying about things like getting clean water to drink.

As an Iranian the American government doesn’t like my Iranianness.
As an American the Iranian government doesn’t like my Americanness.
As a human I don’t like either government and this is why I will never understand nationalism. #NoWarWithlran

It’s amazing the things kids will do when you let them choose what to do and give them the time, support and resources to do them.
