@BowTiedKong I don’t know if it was fake but pretty sure we didn’t get the real story about how we didn’t go back. We indeed should care because it looks like we might not suck at this like we sort of did for the last 50ish years since we did it with calculators and pencil and paper….

Every time I see something like this I think the moon landing was fake Why should I care about this? We landed on the moon RIGHT?

@SojuConnoisseur @thTexasTeacher @clharrington024 As the Texas teacher said you are going to always have some slip through. But if you ACTUALLY put the kid in ISS and send a note home with notice that X amount of ISS will lead to alternative school you would be surprised how parents would do something if they knew consequences

@Luciferous_22 @thTexasTeacher @clharrington024 Yes but how are you going to get the parents to police their kid? I'm telling you, direct experience as a social worker. The biggest problem at the lowest levels is that parents REFUSE to even monitor their children, let alone hold them accountable.

Yes. The solution to students disrupting learning is simple. They do online learning at home. Every school should be expelling at least 5-10 students a year. More at high school.

@thTexasTeacher @SojuConnoisseur @clharrington024 If they just put those kids in In School Suspension with a certain number then go to alternative school for a semester kids would police themselves, parents would police their kids. Like it used to be

@Luciferous_22 @SojuConnoisseur @clharrington024 We still have alternative school but it's basically just for kids caught using drugs at school or consistently getting into fights. Not for simple disruption no matter how consistent it is

@OurOldDad @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ We aren’t saying take the computer lab out what we are saying is teach the kids how to type on computers when age appropriate AFTER they learn how to read and write! Not having 8 year olds bringing home a Chromebook every night!

@OurOldDad @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ One:one in K-8? The only parent saying that is parents who have no idea what their 6 year old is doing with Chromebook at school.

It’s time to go back to paper and pencil standardized testing, so the cart doesn’t drag the horse. Students learn better and test better on paper, period. #education #teachersoftiktok #edleadership #principalsoftiktok #testing

@n0n0tagain @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ No. They are dumber. They are also overconfident in their intelligence. Cognitive abilities are not outdated.

@Luciferous_22 @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ Well, I respectfully disagree. Each generation learns different skill as technology has changed. They aren't dumber, it's just the older generation don't get why certain skills have become outdated.

@n0n0tagain @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ No - it’s not too late. It’s going to be very easy to get them out of K-8 schools in America. We just got the phones out. Everyone can see how this is harmful to all educational goals of this age group. We have the data because this crap records how bad it is!

@Luciferous_22 @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ Too late to go back now. Of course they still see books, but not 100% it's just not going to happen now.

@n0n0tagain @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ This is why each generation has become dumber than the last for the first time in modern history

@Luciferous_22 @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ Yes, from this year all kids Y1 to Y6 have their own chromebook.

@agentw240 @jencf13 @SketchesbyBoze Yeah. Parenting matters. Also just realizing paradigms change. From the 60s-05 college was a great deal. Devaluing the dollar and unlimited government backstop of college debt lead to soaring financial costs. Plus AI/Video have made access to learning very cost effective.

@Luciferous_22 @jencf13 @SketchesbyBoze But instead of changing the situation the elites are doing everything to make kids dumb and deprive them of the future.

Literacy. If the oligarchs have their way, the children of the very rich will have human teachers, physical textbooks, handwritten assignments, phoneless schools. Everyone else will have chromebooks, malfunctioning AI tutors and screen addiction.

@n0n0tagain @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ Right. 80% of lessons for 6 year olds should not have digital content. In fact, six year olds should see books, whiteboards and using pencils and paper and real books 100% of the time.

@Luciferous_22 @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ To be fair, it wasn't my decision. The trust that runs our school made the call.

@TJRinNY @ClemSkelton @ZacharyDonnini When do you think the last time Gavin went to church was? You think he’s taking his family for Easter Sunday?

@Luciferous_22 @ClemSkelton @ZacharyDonnini Always the worst people with performative religiosity in their bios like yours. Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear are both straight white Christian men.

Out of the Top 9 best Democratic candidates in remotely competitive 2024 U.S. House races, NONE of them were White men. We need to put to bed the idea that only White men can win elections for Democrats, the data just doesn’t support it at all.

@n0n0tagain @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ Do you give 1:1 Chromebooks to 6 year olds?

@Luciferous_22 @eduleadership @GovSherrillNJ Most teachers, in the UK at least, do want them. We use them everyday. About 80% of lessons have digital content. Our board is electronic. I talk to parents through email. I'm not going back to total paper and pen...it's a retrograde step.

@ClemSkelton @ZacharyDonnini Ok. Why don’t you list 2 off the top of your head that meet all criteria?

@Luciferous_22 @ZacharyDonnini I could GAF if they're your brand of "Christians".

@ClemSkelton @ZacharyDonnini Actually Christian’s or just pretending to be? I bet you couldn’t name 3 that have a legit shot at a presidential primary.

@Luciferous_22 @ZacharyDonnini A ton. And I'll be happy to vote for these women.

@ebennett74 The fact we don’t have “home economics” really is a massive failure of our schools.

Genius idea—should be duplicated everywhere. I would have paid for this in a second when my kids were younger (we did teach them all these things ourselves tho!)

@drantbradley @madefordominion I’m guessing some of these families don’t have a washer and dryer at home. But I see your point.

@madefordominion Exactly! So what are families like this doing at home then?

Wait, what? Why aren’t they doing this at home already? What kind of parents don’t have their kids doing laundry at home, cleaning, etc? Why do you need a camp to teach kids things parents should be teaching at home anyway? Or, is this like “home ec” like I had in middle-school?

@SojuConnoisseur @clharrington024 She’s talking about the kids who actually come to school. The fact violent or consistently disruptive kids stay with the general student body You’re referring to a eparate issue.

I agree with you. Understand that first. But I don't think the average American understands how hollowed-out some of our cities are. In Buffalo, NY, they categorize most statistics at the county level (to include the suburbs doing okay like Amherst, East Aurora, Elma, Orchard Park, even Cheektowaga and Tonawanda) But the city center, where most of the issues are? We're probably approaching 40-45% illiteracy (most of which below level 1 - unable to identify more than single words or numbers). 40-50% of the population of Buffalo is totally dependent on welfare programs (and are fundamentally unemployable). We totally missed the boat to get in front of these issues with interventions like you suggested. Hell, more than 60% of students (and approaching or exceeding 70% of high schoolers) just never went back to school after COVID. The solution is necessarily going to have to be more comprehensive. The first step is admitting the scope of the task instead of trying to find a rug to sweep it under. 22 months in social work was bad for my soul, but I saw a lot. Too much, perhaps.

@voxdotcom All other children would be helped if we had a complete implosion of whatever this crap the are calling “school” now.
