@Charlot4779395 @RogersHistory His point was that parents support disrespectful behaviour. You’ve proven the point.

@RogersHistory Being called a Karen? Is being called Karen as an adult that distressing?
I wouldn't want my child answering back or calling a teacher any names. But Karen? You've wrote a tweet and said this is what we are up against.

@Wendy32917599 @alphaman_111 @charlesmurray The high-level strategy of schooling is a big part of the problem for sure.
English
On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said
You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.

English
@alphaman_111 @charlesmurray …or you can make the bar higher. Challenge them instead of wasting their time.
There’s obviously a strong correlation between demand and performance. Pressure makes diamonds.

@0riettaRose Not one homeschool detractor has ever said that. 🤣
English
Homeschool Detractors: "Homeschool is selfish, what about all the other kids?"
Children aren't responsible for other children. Parents are not obligated to leave their child in an unsafe, unsuitable environment in deference.

@TheGratefulMe13 @JamesAFurey This mentality sounds good, but never works. It’s how we got here in the first place.
English
@JamesAFurey entire system needs to be shaken up, without blame, and with love and support for everyone involved. I know that’s not popular w many of us who grew up in the education system of “Do as I say. Sit down and shut up”, but there’s a better way. It’s time IMO ✌🏼
English
If schools want to keep their teachers, administration needs to get serious about behavior.
This will have to include making moves like kicking the worst classroom offenders out of the school and disciplining kids with behavior plans at a rate congruent with their rate of offense.
No excuses. No endless chances.
Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”@MrDanielBuck
RAND reviewed surveys of 1,000s of teachers Any guesses on what the NUMBER ONE stressor was??? Managing student behavior! Any politician who claims to "support teachers" but stays silent about behavior doesn't actually support teachers

It’s like home school, charter school, and private school get so much free advertising. If my child was in that bus, I’d be at the Superintendent’s office before he arrived this morning.

@TheAliceSmith Tell us you don’t understand the teaching realm without telling us you don’t understand the teaching realm.

Unpopular opinion: Homework is an intrusion of the state education system into private family life. It is both a signal of dominance but also of failure on the part of the teacher. There is sufficient time during school hours for all learning activities.

@TheAliceSmith My son isn’t going, but if he were I would have a firm no homework rule.
I would not care what the consequences were.

@TheAliceSmith Learning without repetition decays fast.
A short daily review isn’t domination, it’s basic cognitive science.

@Ryandally08 The people who believe this are generally helicopter parents.

Government officials are asked about their own statistics showing a gender pay gap in Australia.
They end up being forced to admit that the entire gap could be explained with the fact that women work less hours than men.
Absolutely brutal takedown.

@DanaPalubiak This sounds like the ‘whole language’ philosophy that was a total disaster.
English
We keep trying to reduce reading to one “correct” path.
Meanwhile, parents are out here proving:
reading grows through talk, books, patterns, context, and yes, sometimes phonics.
The system wants a formula. It’s looking for the perfect program.

I see a little skepticism about this figure, but a couple of years ago I volunteered to read with 4th graders who were struggling in my kid's class once a month, and the interesting thing I found is they could all read the text out loud no problem - they just didn't understand it

2. My official background is in business (MBA from INSEAD, worked at McKinsey). I took a few education philosophy courses in undergrad but mostly have just read a lot, observed a lot of classes, and written a few academic papers. Considering an edu PhD though.
2. Low income parents, supported by private donors (family and friends mostly)

If you're going to weigh in on what's wrong with classrooms, you should be able to answer a few basic questions:
When did you last teach in one?
What's your actual background in education?
Who's funding your work?
No gatekeeping. Just transparency. For everyone.

@teachthemx3 I don’t know one teacher who would say the word autism in the kids first year of school, let alone any other year.
English
My first and last parent teacher conference was years ago when I enrolled my oldest son in kindergarten.
Three weeks into the school year, the teacher requested a meeting. She told me, “All your son wants to do is read chapter books and multiply.”
I asked, “Is that a problem?”
She said yes.
She explained he was bored and didn’t want to participate in the class activities. Then she suggested he might have autism because he didn’t work well with the other children.
I withdrew him that same day.
That was the beginning of our homeschooling journey.

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning My wife told me not to come I came anyway She said "please just listen and nod" I said "I always listen" She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge" That's how listening works Nice

@NoahRevoy @BowtiedQueenBee My kid had an evil teacher at kindergarten, it traumatised him and lost trust with teachers, he only expressed his fears much later so we decided to pull him out and homeschool him for a while so he can recover mentally. There is many teachers who are evil people be careful
English
Too many teachers love to have total power of small children and it goes to their heads.
The Modest Teacher@ModestTeacher
We have to normalize telling kids “no” when they ask to use the bathroom during class
English
@NoahRevoy @kacynlaura48566 You are simply blocked, stuck in a pattern of feeling, thinking, and behaving that's not going to get you what you want.
English
@kacynlaura48566 I have been a teacher before.
If they are that desperate to get out of class then you are a bad teacher.

@adamboxer1 Not yet, but it’s ability to do so accurately isn’t that far away.

Ok, real talk: as a teacher, do you think an AI could watch a video of you teaching or read a transcript and give you meaningful feedback?
What would you do if someone suggested it to you?
Thoughts in replies please!
Adam Boxer@adamboxer1
Can AI give teachers meaningful feedback on their teaching? This week's guest @RajEcon tries to convince me and @amymayforrester that maybe it can. My eyebrows were pretty raised, but it was a fascinating discussion. Tune in and share if you can! open.spotify.com/episode/7JLuKL…

@NoahRevoy @theweekafternxt @BowtiedQueenBee My experience is that those who feel that way about school had an attitude problem and/or were arsehole entitled kids.

@theweekafternxt @BowtiedQueenBee I had one like that in grade 2.
