@mpershan @mathillustrated Ummmm... Players have box scores. And what happened to auto-numbering?

This!! Three examples of things we should get rid of: 1. desks - kids shouldn't be stationary, they have to move! 2. grades - you don't give every player a score 2. personalized learning - you don't have your basketball team practice by themselves on computers

@alexanderrusso @CurriculumAssoc My apologies... I thought you had something in mind when you wrote "[t]he results are consistent: when used as intended, students who use i-Ready demonstrate stronger outcomes in reading and mathematics than their peers who do not."

@KevinDaberkow @CurriculumAssoc might be able to provide that

"#iReady has been studied at scale across states, districts, and students from diverse populations.... The results are consistent: when used as intended, students who use i-Ready demonstrate stronger outcomes in reading and mathematics than their peers who do not." linkedin.com/posts/kelly-si…

@DrCamiloOrtiz "My treatment philosophy is to use a gentle and empathic approach...". 😳

No parent needs to have "child foods" like sugary cereals or processed chicken nuggets at home to "get their child to eat." For example, you serve them whatever you are eating for dinner. If they don't eat it, that's perfectly fine. Breakfast will be served in 12 hours.

@DanaPalubiak I'm not sure we want to die on the whole language hill... features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

They won't. Teachers do. And we keep forgetting that. We've known Hattie was problematic for years. Years. But we kept elevating him. Citing him. Building policy around him. Because he was useful! Now we tear down Calkins and Boaler while protecting him. Pattern recognized.

Paul Thomas said it: We attack Calkins (reading) and Boaler (math), both women, while staying silent on Hattie's credible problems (bad science, plagiarism). Gendered? You tell me. But here's the real issue: We keep chasing programs like they'll save us.

@Pastor_Gabe @JoshuaBarzon Every tax can be "unfair" depending on your goals. Income taxes disincentivize work, so that's a problem. Property owners benefit th most from amazing schools in safe, beautiful communities. Sales taxes discourage commerce.

@JoshuaBarzon The sales tax is the most fair, income tax the most unfair, and property tax the most unjust. You never truly own your property.

You can get rid of one of the following: 1. Income Tax 2. Sales Tax 3. Property Tax Which one do you choose to eliminate?

@CedraCrenshaw So much for opportunity cost...

When I see politicians throw around amounts like $14,000 or $7,000 or whatever for a homeschool government school choice voucher, I know they have no idea about how much it costs to homeschool. Many homeschool for less than $1,000. Politicians are so disconnected from real costs that they routinely overspend tax money, driving up prices for everyone. We've seen this price inflation in public schools, higher education, and private schools that accept government subsidies, and now many want to do this to homeschools. Basic economics doesn't evaporate just because you believe your cause is righteous. Every tax dollar spent above what it actually costs to homeschool is waste, fraud, and abuse.

@BoomerDivvies Learn how to faithfully and cheerfully give. Give of your time. And give of your increase, your money. And then save like crazy. Save an uncomfortable amount. Buy your parents dinner. Focus on what you spend not what you earn. Read Overspent American Squirrel Manifesto.

What best piece of financial advice would you give my 20 year old son? He’s in business school now so he has the book learning side of finance, accounting etc. But real life is not the same as university. He’ll see the comments. Thanks in advance

@Demeter_Erinia Built forts, rode bikes on trails, played Neef baseball 16 hours a day, played Strato-matic baseball, listened to Cleveland Indians games, went to Great Northern Mall game room,and read Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Those who grew up without screens and smartphones : WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU WERE BORED?

@MrMac_Math @eduleadership I have never met a math student in Calculus that had not yet memorized their multiplication facts.

Anti-memorisation rhetoric is real and does real damage. Knowing things is good folks

@NickyPerkss Hillarious list. Is this for the past 100 years or the 1800's?

Respectfully, in what world is OSU not a blue blood?

@virgilwalker Follow your heart (or feelings)...

Parents: What’s the ONE cultural lie your kids are hearing the loudest right now, and how are you countering it with Scripture? Drop your battle plan below.

@BarbellFi You make $400,000 and you give $1,200 a year? Not sure if that is gifts or giving.

Here is the breakdown of the $60k budget my wife and I had last year Our household income was $400k We saved & invested the difference💰

@virgilwalker This is not difficult. I would imagine He would do the same thing as when He was physically here. He would confront religious hypocrisy.

If Jesus walked the earth today, which modern sin do you think He would confront first and why?

@r0ck3t23 @JoshMLowe He figured out how to build rocketships, electric cars, and satellites before he figured this out???

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

@TheMattViera You might make $117k after 25 years plus of teaching. Your estimate on hours worked is way off. And travel takes money. Sorry. Not running to Europe all summer.

My friend is a teacher Owns a home Has ~$300k invested Makes $117k per year Works 9 months per year Home by 5:00pm each day Does whatever she wants on weekends Travels outside the States each summer Will retire with a pension & health coverage Teaching careers are underrated

@VivekGRamaswamy St. X is a public school?

Ohio needs a leader who isn’t beholden to anyone, reporting directly to the people of our state.

@ronrule So by that logic can I take the role of the federal government and provide for my family's defense? That would net me $5,700 per family member or $22,800 for my family. That's $2,000,000,000,000 (federal expenditures on defense) divided by roughly 350,000,000 Americans.

If you homeschool your kids, you should be exempt from the portion of your property taxes that goes to the local schools.

@TheMattViera I haven't seen the research backing up your claim.

@KevinDaberkow Because most people think they can get rich quick by pursuing a different direction.

My friend is a NYC public school teacher Makes $117,000 with a 9 month schedule Will retire with a pension, health coverage, & ~$1 million invested No wonder 2 out of 3 teachers are satisfied with their job And why teaching is a top 5 profession of self-made millionaires
