How to memorize the Greek alphabet, widely used in math and physics, with a song.

Grade inflation is a MASSIVE problem, but it is definitely not one that is the fault of teachers. Ever since college has become a business many parents do not concern themselves with actual learning, only the appearance of learning. In many cases if a teacher gives a grade that is actually deserved, they are harassed by parents and administrators. In some cases they even lose their jobs. So, before people jump on and blame the teachers, remember: They have been forced to give people what they wanted.

“Without standardized testing, parents have little awareness of their children’s deficits, in part because of grade inflation—over the past few decades, test scores have gone down while grades have gone up. This issue, which predated the pandemic, is known as ‘the honesty gap.’”

@gunsnrosesgirl3 That's quite a tilt on the camera. Silly

The problem with mountain trails …

I get your point, but to be clear, there are not many high schools and very few students that ever get to the level where they are solving that first integral and even fewer that will see the expansion of the second series that you’ve written. Perhaps you should have chosen more appropriate mathematical topics than what you’d find in an undergraduate mathematics class at university.

The arts matter! 🎵

@elonmusk Grok is the best!

Cool

@iamvsus close it in and just make a big closet

what should i do with this space?

Here is a brilliant (yet obvious) take on education. Grade inflation is a huge problem. A reason for it, though, that is not talked about is how teachers are not allowed to grade students properly without the consequence of losing their jobs. youtu.be/Bv13ynsArIg?si…

@JamesAFurey You are spot on, my friend. Nonsense like this is why so many people don’t take educators seriously.

One of the acceptable options (I have to choose 7) for my big project in one of my Masters Program classes is to create a social justice playlist. So, if you're wondering how infantilizing graduate work is in Education, that might give you an idea.

@Bubblebathgirl You chose to get a degree that was worthless. It's like you bought a Ford for the price of a Ferrari and you want us to pay the difference.

Women says she’ll never forgive us for her having to pay her student loan debt back. I’m glad to see US tax dollars aren’t being wasted on her bad decisions anymore.

I am on board with 99% of what was said here (except the part about capitalist society.) To be clear, I am a teacher and I am very critical of the profession. The thing that no one will talk about - especially politicians - is BAD PARENTING. The only way to achieve success is a good faith collaboration between expert teachers and parents that are present. Otherwise we are like cops without guns.

2002: Student finishes work 8 minutes before class ends. Turns in paper, grabs their book and reads 2025: Student finishes work. Asks what to do with it (has been the same place for 28 weeks) and then wanders around the room, ignoring the list of things to do on the board (has not changed in 28 weeks), then sits down and stares at a wall. Asks to go to the bathroom. Argues when you say no because the bell is about to ring.

This really is a good idea. I would love for the public at large to see what it is like to teach the children of their respective communities. This is not necessarily a punitive action. It would allow parents and the public at large to see the reality of how today's youth interact with authority.

Do you agree?

@TaraBull808 I’m sure these scholars have greatly contributed to the vast body of scientific knowledge.
