Life advice nobody taught you in school:

As the school year comes to a close, a new analysis shines a harsh spotlight on what's being called a "learning recession" among American students. It's a problem that started long before the pandemic, according to the latest National Education Scorecard — an annual deep dive into data about kids in grades K-12. The findings of this report are sobering. Children had a steady decline in math and reading scores beginning all the way back to 2013, which happens to be when smartphones and social media really took off. Compared to a decade ago, math scores today are down in 70% of school districts. Reading scores are down in 83%. Scores have climbed a bit since 2022, but nowhere close to making up all the lost ground. In fact, 8th grade reading scores are now at their lowest level since 1990. @wmbrangham recently spoke with Thomas Kane, one of the authors of the scorecard and a professor at Harvard University.

Physical Football Teams have Elite Offensive Guards.

Attn PE Teachers 🚨 Try this - On the last week of school send 4 kids every 5 minutes to their favorite English or Math teacher and have them say "Can I hang out here, my PE teacher said it was ok since we're not doing anything". Good times 🤣🤣

Dialing in for summer workouts! 58 5.22 sec @DrewDaKicker24 @HKA_Tanalski @Briggs_bourg @moorepete18

Somebody finally realized people don’t just miss the pizza… they miss the experience. The red cups. The Pac-Man machines. The salad bar. The booths packed with families on Friday night. Tim Sparks says he wants to bring back places where people actually sit down, talk, laugh, and put their phones away for a while. That old Pizza Hut feeling meant something to a lot of us.

Keep stacking good days, CONSISTENCY IS A SUPERPOWER. #TPD

After a great conversation with @arudolph53, I am very excited to have received my NINTH division 1 offer from @CharlotteFTBL! @CoachAlbin @CoachTFitch @GoldenBears_FB @jbuttermore2 @CoachSchaefer62 @OHLineAcademy @DaleRodick @247recruiting @TomLoy247 @AllenTrieu

Had a great time at @thelinemanlab showcase yesterday. Thank you @DaleRodick for the invitation! @GoldenBears_FB @jbuttermore2 @CoachSchaefer62

Today’s transfer portal data was sobering. Since 2020, the number of DII student-athletes entering the portal has more than doubled. Yet only 39% find a new home. 😔

Big Ball from last week’s workouts! 53 5.1 @DrewDaKicker24 @HKA_Tanalski @Briggs_bourg @moorepete18

There are a lot of indications of craziness. That a fourth year MJ (2nd official card) could sell for $76K is complete and total insanity.

Eric took the stage at UNC Chapel Hill to deliver a commencement speech to the next generation of Tar Heels, sharing a message for the graduates as they step into what comes next. Watch the speech in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=pSYEDc…

@GoldenBears_FB Blockhouse dinner at Roosters tonight! A family that eats together. #TPD
