Schools don’t just transmit knowledge. They model norms. If students learn that rules are optional and consequences negotiable, we shouldn’t be surprised when disorder follows—first in classrooms, then everywhere else. thedispatch.com/article/public…

This is what ICE being at the Atlanta airport looks like. Doing NOTHING 😂 @realDonaldTrump

How will it be enforced? What are the consequences for not enforcing it?

Nothing meandering here. He’s telling us a story abt a profound realization re: the reasons we outsource intellectual work. Stories are vital bc they help relate complex phenomena from one human to another in a form that is memorable, portable, replicable.

Republicans should send their kids first.

True. This includes: 1. ‘Decide the consequence for yourself’ 2. ‘Use a restorative conversation’ MID LESSON 3. ‘Give them three warnings, then move them, then corridor, then chat then…’ 4. ‘Do all the detentions yourself, plus admin plus follow up plus escalation’

The central purpose of a school is learning. Teachers are not therapists, clergy, politicians, or stand in parents. Our role is to teach.

George Orwell on writing:

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

In his Nobel Prize lecture, Bob Dylan discusses three books that have stayed with him since he read them at school. One of them is Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’. “The Odyssey is a great book whose themes have worked its way into the ballads of a lot of songwriters: ‘Homeward Bound,’ ‘Green, Green Grass of Home,’ ‘Home on the Range,’ and my songs as well,” he says. “The Odyssey is a strange, adventurous tale of a grown man trying to get home after fighting in a war. He’s on that long journey home, and it’s filled with traps and pitfalls. He’s cursed to wander. He’s always getting carried out to sea, always having close calls. Huge chunks of boulders rock his boat. He angers people he shouldn’t. There’s troublemakers in his crew. Treachery. His men are turned into pigs and then are turned back into younger, more handsome men. He’s always trying to rescue somebody. He’s a travelin’ man, but he’s making a lot of stops.” Listen to Dylan discuss ‘The Odyssey’ and two other favourite books in his Nobel Prize lecture: bit.ly/3XUwOPH

I need AI to combine ice hockey with couples figure skating.

Reality check: Some classrooms require a teacher to work relentlessly—carefully defining expectations and enforcing rules with total consistency—just to reach the baseline behavior that other classrooms start with. How a teacher manages and teaches is deeply dependent on the students in the room.
