@brittlestar Mushroom gravy with the cheese curds and fries means it can be kosher too - yeah!

This May Offend Some People... But It Needs To Be Said

@PickleVermont All the best healing thoughts!

@SenatorBaldwin Excellent points @SenatorBaldwin ! (and our cousin sitting next to our Senator - priceless!)

There’s nothing efficient about taking away research that millions of Americans are counting on for life-saving treatments and cures.

"The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.” 3 assertions with no data. Many in the public sector routinely work SO HARD bec. of their passion about it.

@DrPrestonGreen Fantastic! Thanks for all you do!

My brother and I got the chance to talk about growing up, sports, and the future of education in this podcast. youtu.be/mUkQjYFW30E?si…

@BisforBerkshire They fixed the website - Wednesday, Sept 18th is now correct!

@enuffer That’s right!

Hey Jennifer, @BisforBerkshire - could you clarify the date for the webinar with PSPF? They have it advertised as on Thursday, Sept 18. Thanks! pfps.org/join-pfps-for-…

Yes, I HAVE read the book, but I still registered for the webinar - you should too! Public Funds Public Schools welcomes Jennifer Berkshire & Jack Schneider on Thursday, September 18, 3 p.m. to discuss their new book, The Education Wars: A Citizen’s Guide and Defense Manual.

@Edu_Historian @pdkintl Fascinating! Thanks for all of your work in this area. I too have been fascinated and then confused by casual remarks about "bad schools". "How do you judge that?" I ask. "Oh - I just heard." is the response.

@thisone0verhere Darn Tough. All day, everyday. @DarnTough

Thinking about a complete sock reset. Like just getting rid of allll my old socks and starting over with nothing but brand new ones. Thoughts?

@PickleVermont A beauty of a challah! Good shabbos!

Shabbat shalom on this stormy night! Peace to all. (Now if our power can just stay on for the peach cobbler)

@PickleVermont Mine are busting out too!

The lilies are bursting this year and whoa is that a rare Kamalalily? Right here in our Vermont garden? How sweet and surprising it is.

@PickleVermont I continue to be just stunned when I hear friends say that they don't even have home tests and who don't test when gathering with others. Lots of places have free tests available - go get them and use them!

@ChefReactions Kids in this area get so enthusiastic about this and learn such great skills (culinary and otherwise)! vtfeed.org/jr-iron-chef-vt

@DrPrestonGreen Such important questions! Thank you so much for tackling these issues!

@becdot I don't know what this means, but IRL is usually good. Hold on...

i did it, it happened, i wrote a recursive function in real life

@BisforBerkshire I am so sick of people equating a good education with getting a job. There is more to education than that! And "competing for internships" assumes that competing is a virtue in itself and that one lives in an area where there are sectors to which one wants to aspire. Grr.

I've never actually looked at Trump's education plan (AKA Trump’s Ten Principles For Great Schools Leading To Great Jobs). Once you get past the ranting about Marxists and *gender ideology* it's basically just cut & pasted from various education reform websites

@BisforBerkshire Wow! Thank goodness for your excellent journalistic / research skills! I was unaware of this little gem. This is what you are referring to in the "fanning the flames" (p. 61) section in "The Education Wars"?

Here's Blackboard Tyranny, written by a Heritage staffer in 1978. Kind of amazing that even as Heritage gets more and more unhinged, school voucher sales pitch has stayed exactly the same

50 years ago, a brand new conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation seized on a West Virginia school board conflict, warning that schools were teaching *atheism* and *cannibalism* & urging parents to abandon them. Call it Project 1975

@DrPrestonGreen @WBUR Oh wow - how cool! Looking forward to the audio being posted soon!
