Have a friend who’s an expert in the science of learning. Once, we got to talking about math. He said the lowest hanging fruit is to send every kid back to the stage of math they’re not 100% fluent in. For most kids, that’s something like 3rd or 4th grade. Then they should work their way up, step-by-step, and only graduate to the next level once they have mastery of the level before. And now with learning apps, they can speed-run the catch-up process. The research is clear. It’s the social stigma of going back that holds kids back. Kids don’t want to be made-fun of, and no parent of an 8th grader wants to send their kids back to 3rd grade math, no matter how effective it may be. We know how to fix the problem. We’re just afraid of the social repercussions. Many things work like this.

@EACoachDavis What are the factors that you believe are contributing to this phenomenon at your school?

As a High School teacher I find the gap is widening. The top students tend to be better year after year but the average and below average are declining.

@EACoachDavis Those times will be even faster over the next 2 weeks, as we get closer to the deadline.

PA Indoor State Meet gets harder and harder to qualify for every year. Last year's 5th place in the 800 is this year's 15th place. Last place 4x200 right now is almost as good as 8th place was last year this time.

Has the NIL structure numbered the days of amateur sports? What will the outcome be for sports that are considered no revenue? Will the Olympic sponsored sports entities pivot in order to become attractive entities for investment capital? x.com/JoePompliano/s…

Mike St. Clair has been West Chester Rustin’s only football coach since becoming a program in 2006. This might be the most he’s smiled since. First district title since 2008 with a 34-2 win over Springfield Delco.

@nheckenberger @WCRustinKnights @Rustin_Football Since then they have 8 district titles in: '22 Girls Track & Softball '23 Girls Basketball, Girls Track & Boys Lax '24 Boys Golf, Girls Soccer and Football Quite the run for Rustin Athletics

A step in a new direction... sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/…

It would be amazing for @WorldAthletics to create a pool of funds, that pays those that sets world records, apart from those that just win gold. It ends when the record is broken. Stories like Bolt, @MJGold create perpetual value and build dreams for future record setters.

@cs_hatton @PrincetonFTBL @Coach_Flinn @CoachMikeWeick @Rustin_Football Keep up the good work!

Had a great day @PrincetonFTBL !! Cannot wait to be back. @Coach_Flinn @CoachMikeWeick @Rustin_Football

That's because this dude doesn't know what education is. He speaks of growing wheat, herding sheep, riding a horse, and so on, but in the era of these skills, this was the kind of education given to slaves. Only a slave, a person who was owned as property, and used as a machine for a task, could be expected to do one task for his whole life. A gentleman, or even a freeman of the lower classes, was not a machine for labor, but a person who could be expected to act in his own interests, and thus would need to do many different things throughout his life, depending on what served his goals at the time. And he would need to be able to independently learn these tasks, rather than needing to be taught them in childhood. Therefore if a boy was to formally educated, that might include some of gentleman's skills (riding, fighting with a sword, the management of finances), but his education was centered around what education really meant: A fundamental grounding in how to live and thrive as an independent and free-willed person. Thus, he was taught the seven liberal arts of classical antiquity: - Arithmetic - Geometry - Music - Astronomy - Grammar - Logic - Rhetoric These were not trade skills in the sense that they did not enable the performance of any particular trade or task, but that wasn't the point. The point was that they taught the young gentleman how to think and learn. By contrast, modern government schools were founded to train clerks and factory workers at public expense... a servant class with the specific skills necessary to be useful workers, but not the general education to be independent or question their betters? Have you noticed which two of these arts are utterly absent from a modern government-school "education"? That's right, logic and rhetoric. Logic is how to arrive at true conclusions from known facts. Rhetoric is how to persuade. A servant educated in logic might notice that the things he is being told are false. A servant educated in rhetoric might notice the techniques that are being used to persuade him to act in the rulers' interests instead of his own. If you conceive of your children's education as training in career skills, whether that be growing rice or programming a computer, you are preparing them to be slaves, not free men. If you properly prepare them to be free men, what skills will be lucrative or useful twenty years from now is irrelevant, because they will be prepared to learn them. In my opinion, the seven liberal arts of the modern world are: - Logic: how to derive truth from known facts - Statistics: how to understand the implications of data - Rhetoric: how to persuade, and spot persuasion tactics - Research: how to gather information on an unknown subject - (Practical) Psychology: how to discern and understand the true motives of others - Investment: how to manage and grow existing assets - Agency: how to make decisions about what course to pursue, and proactively take action to pursue it. Notice that you didn't learn any of these things in school, even if you went to a so-called "liberal arts" college. Instead, they taught you things about mitochondria and calculus and symbolism in Jon Steinbeck novels where a boy has a dog, and the dog dies. That's because liberal arts, whether you define them as I have, or slightly differently, are the arts of the master, the arts that make one a master, and therefore not be taught in a school for slaves. Worry less about which "career skills" AI will take over, and more about whether you are training to be, and training your kids to be, high-agency, perceptive, self-motivated people who can navigate an unknowable future with an adaptable mind.

Congratulations to my young protege!

@EACoachDavis Great job with your team this season

250 boys in the school but likely one of the most complete teams in the country this indoor season. 7:48 4x800 1:52 800 47-11.5 TJ (11th Grade) 6-07 HJ (11th Grade) 59-8 SP 3:22 4x400 (3rd race of the day) 21.71 200 (10th grade) 49.10 400 (10th grade)

🚨OPINION🚨 IN HS BE ALL IN ON ONE SPORT PER SEASON COMMIT to the sport you’re playing in each season Offseason work for the others can wait. If you only want to focus on one in HS, that’s fine go do that Don’t waste other coaches’ time being halfway in for their season

What if you're afforded your opportunity or your chance, are u prepared? Are u ready? Can u handle the pressure, the moment, the expectations or the seriousness? Are u built for this? Can u handle the scrutiny of the position? Please evaluate u because your time is coming & u may only get 1 shot. PREPARE for Success now. #CoachPrime
