I'm not taking advice from people who made Gaza their whole damn personality and then fucked up and made everything there worse.

Could you imagine living in 1969? Sending astronauts to the moon. Fighting a useless war and the president is a crook.

@jungleg62135331 Much more nuanced than that, and no edtech.

Of course teachers are starved for students to ask questions. At the same time, almost all teachers in mainstream schools have curriculum coverage goals that they need to meet. Confident, mature teachers who know they can cover the material in less time are often more likely to allow leisurely exploration of ideas. But less experienced teachers under the pressure of administrators who expect curriculum coverage goals are less likely to allow leisurely exploration. And to create a culture of inquiry, it is helpful to be able to have more leisurely explorations. Students who have been habituated to the routine of covering the curriculum often have little interest in asking questions on the content taught by the teacher. Thus the apparent paradox of teachers wanting students to ask questions on content but students passively sitting there staring instead. In my experience even in the 90s, before NCLB and then smartphones, it took leisure to get students to engage in intellectual dialogue. But once given the opportunity, most loved it. But gradually that kind of leisure became less common as high stakes testing, culminating with NCLB, created an atmosphere of marching through the curriculum among the less confident and experienced teachers (even while more experienced teachers, again, knew they could get through it while still providing the leisure to engage in intellectual dialogue). Then smartphones created additional habits of passivity, resulting in student habits where it takes even more leisure to create cultures of intellectual inquiry. Moreover, even if some experienced teachers are fully supportive, if the default message of many classes is, “We’ve got to cover this unit this week” and students don’t feel as if the classroom is a place to explore ideas, and smartphones are making them passive anyway, then the experienced teachers who do welcome inquiry will face headwinds by way of students who default to passivity. It is ultimately about default modes that form habits and attitudes beyond the particular expectations of particular teachers.

In regular school, kids who ask questions get told to be quiet. In Socratic dialogue, they get asked better questions in response. The shift from silencing to deepening changes everything. Kids feel seen rather than shut down. One student put it this way: "All my other teachers told me not to ask. Here, asking is the whole thing." That difference between punished curiosity and celebrated curiosity rewires a young person's relationship to learning.

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.

Amazon found a way to charge 200 million people for something they already owned. Twice. Step 1: Insert ads into a product people were already paying $139/year for. Step 2: Charge $2.99/mo to remove the ads you just added. Step 3: Take away 4K, which was free for years. Step 4: Charge $4.99/mo to get it back. Total time: 26 months. Total new revenue at even 15% conversion: $1.8 billion per year. The genius is the sequencing. No single step is outrageous enough to cancel over. You don't cancel Prime over $3. You don't cancel over $5. You definitely don't cancel over 4K because most people don't even notice the resolution downgrade until they watch on a big screen. Amazon needed $3.6 billion per year in new revenue to cover NFL and NBA rights. They got halfway there by selling people back their own product one feature at a time.

IT WAS THE WORLD SERIES, not a random ass regular season game against a bottom tier team in a less popular sport 🤦‍♂️ I swear, the “fake 100” narrative is the dumbest take in Basketball, because it blatantly ignores the most obvious context of the time.

@BBGreatMoments So we got this on video but not Wilt’s 100 point game?
