@NateSilver538 Wish casting the outcome of fools errand thats got oil and markets going wild.

You can check my Twitter feed for the prominent names I was fighting with about this over the weekend (a big VC and a TV host). But more importantly, people in the White House and the Defense Department seemed to be engaged in exactly the same sort of magical thinking.

"Fuck those people who said it would all be over in a few days." So fuck a bunch of Twitter randos? That's a weird thing to say. Anyone know why Big Nate is crashing out so hard over this? Just seems to have lost his marbles for some reason.

Still hear this justification re: AI in classrooms: “It’s out there & we can't be left behind.”
Friendly challenge: which happens more often?
1. Schools regretted waiting too long to adopt a technology.
2. Schools regretted adopting a technology before they knew how to use it.

@MenInBlazers @BankofAmerica The bigger problem here is his club has a mug of a manager.

"[VAR] was for clear and obvious errors. It was not for toenails offside by 3 centimeters...So if you turn on that tape and it's not clear in 60 seconds? Leave the on-field decision as it stands."

@gtmom They also looked at more data pre and post covid in a follow up. Still lots and lots above grade level. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…
English
@JebPuryear I have seen that version but it almost sounds too extreme for people to believe??
English
Friendly reminder that it's not just a few prodigies who are above grade level... it's very many kids.
(some 20-40% of students in reading, 11-30% in math)
Imagine how many more students would be "ahead" if we reliably did a damn thing for them.
Zach Groshell@MrZachG
Students who are years behind need intensive instruction, not be told to color until intervention time starts up. Students who are years ahead need intensive instruction, not be told to act as peer tutors and wait until college for real challenge to begin.
English
@gtmom Agree. The wildest stats to me are the numbers that are 2 3 4 etc years above.
English
@eduleadership It all comes back the adage that "you can't intervene your way out of a Tier 1 problem"
English
Nobody wants to hear this, but better Tier 1 means “teach all the kids a lot more stuff a lot faster.”
That’s it.
Amount, not technique.
More, not better. Better isn’t gonna happen.

@JamesAFurey Most implementations of multi-tiered systems of support that I have seen spend way too much of their energy on tiers 2 and 3 and not enough time on tier 1. Do we want a fence at the top of the cliff or an ambulance at the bottom?
English
@gtmom Somewhat similar to our experience in MT where we were so excited a couple years ago to have the law change to mandate service along with ID mandate, but it just led to schools being more stringent and playing the "we don't have any of those kids" card.
English
Missouri: requires schools to run a gifted program if they have > 3% of students qualifying as "gifted"
Also Missouri: didn't require any gifted identification in the first place 🙃
English
@sbkaufman I sense from the headline post that this will be a disappointing take. Encouraging people already predisposed to poo pooing advanced education services unfounded ammunition.

The Hoosiers are a team with a bunch of grown ass men, a brilliant choir boy quarterback, and a semi-psycho head coach, which is to say they are a blast to watch and I hope they win it all

@RealKidPoker Every time the draft approaches and I hear someone referred to as a Barry Sanders type, I think, nope. 1 of 1 with that guy.
English
I was never a Detroit Lions fan but it was very easy to be a Barry Sanders fan.
Dude was out of this world.
Super 70s Sports@Super70sSports
Barry Sanders’ ratings in Madden were such a joke it allowed him to do crazy shit like this that ruined the realism of the game - hang on, being told this is actual NFL game tape.

@JonathanLWai One accepted publication on average every 12 days for a quarter century is insane. I can't process anything beyond this.

Growth Mindset update: In 19 countries, mindsets showed no association with achievement; in five countries, students with fixed mindsets actually outperformed those with growth mindsets.

New evidence from over 6,000 college students finds that digital devices are bad for academic performance and even effect peers in negative ways!
Mobile app use reduces grades, increases stress, and lowers class attendance, job applications, and wages coming out of school.
It also impacts the academic performance of roommates (who were randomly assigned). nber.org/system/files/w…

The more time students spend on screens, the less they learn.
Ed tech does not belong in schools (until it is thoroughly tested & proven to help).

Math anxiety: meta analysis of longitudinal studies suggests a bi-directional relationship. Being bad at math makes you anxious when doing it AND being anxious about it impairs performance. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-94…

One of the most common myths in education is the myth of the “bad test-taker.”
In a study of college students, the majority (56%) identified themselves as bad test-takers. It’s a self-defeating myth that discourages effective studying and the use of test results as a yardstick.

@richmondie @NielsHoven Anecdotal experiences too often Trump a century of research journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.31…
English
@NielsHoven I was ability grouped, and always felt left behind socially. At parties everyone was a year or two older than me. I'd have done much better with kids a year or two younger!
English
> “Ability grouping feels intuitive, but decades of research shows it often widens gaps”
Yes, that is literally the point.
We should allow smart kids to excel instead of holding them back to the lowest common denominator
They will achieve more if we let them
