@ramez Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers. Looks like 20-40% of don't knows are the only smart people to respond.

A complete self-own. And entirely foreseeable. The damage done might be reperable, but not easily or quickly. It'll take very large and clear steps in the US, including some substantial constitutional and legal reforms to limit the power of a crazy President.

This is wild. People in *every single one* of the top US allies now think it's better to depend on China than the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

@mattyglesias Parents opinions nationally are overly general and subjective.
"things have gotten worse" also overly general and subjective.

Parental satisfaction with their child's actual school reached its low point in 2013, which was also the year that NAEP scores peaked.
Things have gotten worse since then, and people seem somewhat happier with the worse results.

@Budgetdog_ Full, On, Retard.
Investing in a personal home, building assets which you leverage for a nicer home, is investing in quality of life. Or, in only financial terms, assets which can be most easily leveraged for other investments, but at a lower interest rate.
Retard.

@jennfrey It's fun to watch the anti-productive squirm on their way out of relevancy. AI is only a problem to those low hanging fruit for which it will be first to replace.

Elementary school students do not need to be learning computer science concepts.
Iowa Department of Education@IADeptofEd
A new workshop series offered by the Department aims to help elementary educators naturally integrate computer science concepts into the lessons they are already teaching. Learn more and register: educate.iowa.gov/headline-story…

@russelldobular I draw the line of hard working and lazy at the billion dollars' worth of assets mark...says the most retarded.

@benryanwriter The studies flawed, the differences minimal, and basing it all on a single subject study. I just can't imagine the amount of retard it takes to have the worlds largest single library at your fingertips, accessible withing milliseconds...and advocating for paper....So dumb.
English
Research indicates that we retain knowledge better when reading on paper rather than on screens. So it stands to reason that professors would advocate for reading printed books.

“Oh. You want to be an English major?!” “Yes.” “Great! Here’s some books to read.” “No.” 🙄

@TomLondon6 When every brilliant society, and nearly all brilliant invention is born of one or two particular types of human being, not accepting these facts is even more dangerous. The "melting pot" has been a failure...Not realizing that is also dangerous.

The Nazis thought that Aryans/Germans were SUPERIOR to all other races, they were ÜBERMENSCHEN
The Americans think they are EXCEPTIONAL
The Israelis think they are CHOSEN
These beliefs are highly dangerous

@LisaBritton The same high-T males that you seek are being filtered out by the low T males and women that are currently running the systems that produce teachers...
English
I believe more male teachers could help fix so many problems… We need more male teachers! How can we do this?

@eduleadership AI is about to make your profession obviously obsolete, instead of just obsolete. Productive people are getting tired of paying the way of the anti-productive people among society.

Bans actually work great—far better than hesitant measures.
Everything schools have banned in the last two decades has been a smashing success when vigorously enforced: vaping, bullying, cell phones, AI.
Just eliminate the opportunity.
Rod@rodjnaquin
Rather than attending to the hysterical panic of some educators, I'm paying close attention to USC research showing two-thirds of teens use AI for homework even in schools that ban it. Most parents don't know their school's AI rules, and only 9% realize how much their kids use it. Students mainly use AI to search information and brainstorm. Both teens and parents worry about AI's harms, though frequent users are more optimistic. Bans clearly don't work. open.substack.com/pub/psychoftec…

The only powerful moment at this year’s Oscars you should pay attention to—and share.
Sean Penn won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a military zealot in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film One Battle After Another.
But he skipped Sunday’s ceremony and traveled to Europe instead. As of late last week, he planned to visit Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

@RadioFreeTom Universal suffrage guarantees that the dumbest among us get to choose. As half of the country is dumber than average, and some of the other half make mistakes.

We could argue that Trump 1 was a one-off, a freak occurrence. But electing him *twice*? Raises reasonable questions about what kind of electorate would do that.

The drop in global perceptions of the US is 100% because of Donald Trump. Clear as day.

@MarketPalmer_ Teaching finance would inevitably lead to fewer democrat votes...the democrats in education won't have that.

If schools are teaching us:
– Cursive
– Calculus
– Bunsen burners
– How to dissect a frog
They should be teaching personal finance as well.

@JoshPhillipsPhD @shrededward If you get there by car and not horse and buggy, you are wasting your time attending university. This is what happens when the dumbest among us run education.

@shrededward If you don’t plan on reading books, you probably shouldn’t be wasting your time or money attending university

@S_Oberle No way! You mean the same people that refuse to discipline students are seeing worse behavior? Maybe the education system is dumber than it's ever been, and the price of that is being paid.
English
Frankly, I’m surprised it wasn’t more.
Neetu Arnold@neetu_arnold
60% of teachers in new Ed Week survey say student behavior has worsened over the past two years: “We’ve seen a large increase in the inability for students to cope when things don’t go their way. We see a lot of crying, yelling, shutting down, gross overreactions”
English
@MsEscoTeaches There's a lot of discussion about "screens" that are overly general. It's like "transportation" as if crawling and spaceships are the same thing. It's absolutely fucking retarded, and it's being used in education as a scapegoat for their own failures.
