After I finish listening to the "Classic Starts" Audiobook collection, I plan on working my way through this list:
Dissident Teacher@educatedandfree

It is done. Here are clickable links of over 400 books in the western canon, separated by age group. It's meant for all of you who want the best for your child's education and for your own as well. The good news? Emily Dickinson was right when she said of books: "How frugal is the chariot that bears the human soul." Link to the library below: ⬇️

@is_OwenLewis Many people see a massive increase in electricity and water bills, or at least assume so. If you can show the data center is generating it's own electricity and won't increase taxes, water and electricity costs for the community, people would be on board. I'm bullish on IREN.

Not building datacenter is economic self-sabotage. It's also civilizational sabotage, but let's stick to the level most people can relate to. If there's a datacenter built in your area, that means a massive increase in tax revenue flowing into local coffers, which can be used to improve the lives of local residents. It'll mean a few extra jobs, and (because datacenters now have to bring their own power) more abundant available energy, likely at cheaper prices. It's relatively quiet after construction is done, and the only byproduct is heat. They use some water, but not much. Concerns over water have been greatly overblown due to fearmongering and outright lies. There are zero significant downsides. How often can that be said for anything this big? Opposition to datacenters is the height of irrationality, and I just hope enough people realize the benefits before they're all forced up into space.
Payton Alexander@AlexanderPayton

Data centers are generating trillions of dollars in value for the economy. Data centers don’t consume water, they return it to the environment. Data centers lower household energy costs by producing their own electricity and generating stable demand that reduces operating costs for the grid. Data centers create jobs for construction workers, electricians, and other skilled workers year round, all across the country. Data centers data centers pay billions in state and local taxes without using public services, meaning more resources for the rest of us. Data centers power every part of the digital economy in ways most people don’t even know, even enabling things as mundane as stocking products at grocery stores. Data centers are driving the AI revolution that will keep America ahead of China and enable universal high income for everyone.

@travisakers In Washington State, or at least at my school district, we do not retain. We provide Tier 2 support. We work to qualify students for SPED. We do not retain.

Why would a student do any of their assignments for the entire school year if they’re going to be passed anyway? They know this and they’re exploiting it. That’s not on the student. That’s on school admin, the school district, and state for continuously allowing it.

@smorrisey Although I like this idea, I 'd like state testing done each fall rather than each Soring. We'd get less "teach to the test" and more "teach to the end of the year." Also, how about this: Test Kinder in Spring to set 1st grade groups. All other groups, proceed from year before.

Unpopular opinion: We would get better reading outcomes by skipping fall benchmark assessments for first graders and up. Here me out. Most school districts get benchmark testing all wrong. The assessment team and the reading interventionists are one and the same. So students don't receive intervention until all the fall benchmark testing gets completed. Then the testing/intervention team spend days pouring over the data and setting up groups. In many schools intervention begins way too late (5 weeks or more after the school year starts). Why not just start on day #2 of the school year, seriously. Spring to Fall data doesn't generally change much. Please don't come after me about regression. Yes, some students may regress more than others, but I wonder how many schools and districts actually analyze spring to fall data by rank ordering students based on need. I've done this and generally nothing changes. There is so much opportunity cost to delaying intervention. Just look at spring data. If you want to look at yearly growth look at spring to spring data. This is as good or even better measure than fall to spring data.

I am begging journalists to look more closely into what Louisiana actually did to achieve this status. Also, “they just followed Mississippi” is not an accurate statement.
LDOE@doelouisiana

Louisiana is leading the nation. The latest Education Scorecard shows Louisiana is No. 1 among states in reading growth, No. 2 in math growth, and the only state to surpass 2019 levels in both reading and math. Learn more: ow.ly/1XeJ50YZaxB #laed #lalege #lagov

So let me get this straight… We’re supposed to panic about falling behind China on AI like it’s some massive national emergency… but falling behind on high-speed rail, renewable energy, and even childhood nutrition is somehow totally fine? Interesting priorities 👀

@moultano If 2nd grade scores don't rise by next year, it's not the pandemic. It's likely devices that are the problem.

The American education system is fixated on finding the latest method or system to get students reading and writing. Unfortunately, no hack exists. Reading is sometimes dull. Writing is often hard. You can’t entertain yourself to an education.

No kidding. For 5 years, we ran mortgage “workout” programs where missed payments were pushed to the BACK of the loan. People weren’t current. The debt was just delayed. Now those programs are ending. And suddenly: • Delinquencies are rising • Foreclosures are climbing • Short sales are returning • Consumers are tapped out A massive amount of financial stress was papered over after 2020. Now the bill is finally coming due.

@Alice_MiaX Oh my goodness. You need to realize that you can withdraw your ROTH contributions anytime without tax or penalty. Sure, you can't withdraw earnings early, but the savings on the taxes is like free money. I'd say max out all ROTH opportunities. When they reach your #, retire early

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don’t believe in 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, or traditional IRAs. I have none of them. If you’re a Roth millionaire, you’re basically a paper millionaire on hold. The money looks great on paper, but you’re still waiting for permission, waiting for retirement, waiting for “someday.” Me? I’m living life NOW. Making the moves NOW. Building freedom NOW. Let’s just say… I’m not on hold. 💃

We could all use NWEA MAP for school testing rather than iReady.

I don't care if violent behavior is a manifestation of your disability. You should still be expelled. IDEA needs to be amended so it no longer protects violent children from immediate expulsion or long suspensions. I don't care if I'm called ableist for this take.

I met a 16 year old girl who had no idea how to read a clock. What is going on in this country with our young people?

@MsEscoTeaches This is true. Class cannot be successful without attention. I talk to my students about all the signals our brain is processing: everything we hear, see, touch, taste, smell, and what we are going to say. If you want to learn, you have to minimize all these and pay attention.

Here’s the sad thing about reading… I teach a phonics intervention class for 30 mins a day. It is extremely difficult to get them to pay attention, practice, and participate. They fight me every step of the way. I’m at a loss on how to help them when they won’t help themselves.

@RachelTrue We teach the best of what the parents send us. We can't just blame parents either for students reading levels. Sure, we can talk to them about students disrespect and academic levels. We can suggest what books to read. Maybe we do deserve merit pay based on 1 years' growth.

If your HS age child can’t read over a 3rd grade level, it’s because you can’t read over a 3rd grade level Or you didn’t read them books as toddlers Or the child has a learning disability you ignore Stop blaming teachers & start Paying them what they deserve

A few students asked me if I was planning on coming back next year or if I was going to leave and find a new school to work at I shrugged as a joke and they thought I was serious and begged me to stay They then asked me what I'd be teaching next year and I gave them some potential options and they told me to pick the role where I'd be their teacher again I guess I looked defeated or sad in that monent (I was just tired) so one of the girls said You're calm, you push us to work hard, and you try to make class engaging And another girl chimed in and said to not let the few bad kids get to me because they are missing out And the 3rd student chimed in and said you give them everything and they choose not to take it. They have to want it too and put in effort because you can't do it for them To which I couldn't have agreed more - some responsibility has to be put on students to take ownership of their education
