@bernardtjoy Possibly. Hopefully it will force us to elevate expression to uniquely human heights.

Will AI, as I am being told, soon make academic writing by humans obsolete?

@bernardtjoy Or was Shakespeare everyman, and we are all Shakespeare? 🤣

No one was Shakespeare. Shakespeare wasn't Shakespeare.

@agNavya Yes

Is it humanly possible to read 200 pages in a single day?

@MrDanielBuck The secondary standardized test should just be the ACT! It has been consistent for over 25 years, and it MAKES SENSE! Stop with the movable goalposts!

Louisiana just added cursive to their language art standards The Southern Surge states continues to lead the way in basic, commonsense education reform

@JamesAFurey I have a similar issue with kids asking questions. The trouble is that we as teachers often have a set of questions in mind, and if a kid deviates too far from the topic at hand, we do reign them in. Curiosity is not rewarded the same way that accuracy is.

There have been groups of students who I have practically begged to ask questions. This weird notion, borne of the idea that teachers are dictatorial taskmasters who try to stamp out every last hint of independent thought, that we don’t allow kids to ask questions is bizarro world levels of wrong.

@KatelynTweeter Yes, and I already have adopted two drug babies.

If you are pro-life would you ever be willing to adopt an unwanted baby? Trying to prove a point.

@bernardtjoy Glad I got my Master's while my kids were younger. It was easier to study when they were playing beside me rather than now when I am a glorified chauffeur for them. 🤣

@bernardtjoy 43 here. Thinking about it. But mostly just to give myself the credibility to do the things I already would have tried to do anyway. Gotta get in the room where it happens.

Would you begin a PhD after the age of 40?

@allie__voss I was born in the 80s, and nobody told us that even then.

I’m sorry, but if you’re a girl who grew up in the United States in the early 2000s….please be serious No one told you that

@karenvaites The medium is the message.

I talk a lot about the Cult of Engagement in K-12 circles: The presumption that making learning more engaging will naturally make it more effective and reach lower-performing students (when in fact, engagement tactics can detract from durable learning). It shows up like this:

@bernardtjoy Possible silver lining: creativity and innovation could become elevated in public schools because teaching facts won't be necessary.

Our most celebrated ideas today are all disgusting beyond measure.

@bernardtjoy We need earnest intellectual conversation.

This was not actually a call by me for greater kindness so much as it was a call for greater disagreement. I don't mind when enemies disagree for no reason but I hate when friends agree for no reason.

@lady_valor_07 83

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

@ronsterd89 $350

How much do you think I spent? This is a Kroger store! Closest one gets a 🏆

@ronsterd89 Baked sweet potato 1 hour at 400 degrees, ground beef with taco seasoning, avacado, sour cream. Sweet potato bowl. 🥰

Ground beef challenge. No spaghetti. No tacos. No burgers. What do you cook

@HippyMomPhD I am convinced that people "get" numbers at different phases of life. I wish I could go back and retake my high school math classes because I think they would be fascinating now. I barely got a B in each class although I had an in every other class.

I'm starting to wonder if teaching conceptual math heavily is making it harder for a lot of kids - hear me out. They looked at students who were gifted in math & went "huh, they think conceptually. We should teach everyone conceptually" My youngest is gifted in math. She just "gets it" It's absolutely conceptual to her - and easy. But my oldest, nope. And no amount of me explaining the concept ever helped her. You know what did? Procedural practice ... over & over & over. Then, something kinda like magic happened. She looked at me this week and said "oh, I get it!" and she then explained to me the concept I'd tried to teach her a year ago. Don't get me wrong. Conceptual math for prek-2nd grade is great. But I'm not convinced it's the best path long-term. Conceptual learners - already "get it." The strugglers.... might just need a LOT more practice before that light bulb goes off. Thoughts?

WOMAN TO WOMAN!!!!!! Be honest… if money wasn’t an issue, would you be a stay-at-home wife?

@usuallypregnant He does have an obligation to lead his family spiritually m, including providing guidance on what the family reads.

@godlywomanhood This is true, and it is also true that many women were trapped in miserable and dangerous situations. It is fine to acknowledge both.

Marriages lasted a lifetime before feminism because women knew their role and responsibility was to work hard in their homes and care for the children while their husbands worked hard to provide. Quarreling about who did what didn’t happen. Feminism destroyed the family.

@dalepartridge Some women would be fine. Some would be abused and trapped. There are tradeoffs. I would LOVE this for myself because I 100% trust my husband. Not everyone can say that.

If women stopped working: Men would have more jobs. Women would need husbands. Wives would stay home and have babies. Families would multiply. America would heal.
