I am in my 20th year of teaching full time and I have a Master's degree in secondary education. Public school works. It's where my three kids go and we have private options nearby. Public school...like almost everything else in education can be done well or poorly. Don't generalize.

"One study of..college students...found that they spent nearly 40% of class time scrolling social meda, checking email or watching videos on their laptops." Precisely why I have a phone ban in my classes. They can't concentrate with phones. It's also incredibly rude for students to be on phones during class. nytimes.com/2025/11/16/opi…

Teach, lead, coach … in whatever capacity you work with kids act like every child is your child. That mindset changes everything.

England has transformed its schools using ideas from US educators at exactly the same time the US has foundered (& ignored those ideas). Agree w this excellent @NickGibbUK piece (& honored to have earned a small mention). fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

The best section of the Steplab documentary for me is minute 20 of episode 4. If you think PD is useless at your school, watch this. If you think what this school is doing is weird, that's because useless PD has been normalized and weird PD is weird because is hasn't been.

There is a two tier system of public education in American schools. One tier is the overwhelmingly majority of students who go to school day in and day and get zero rights to an organized, non-disruptive education. The other tier is the students with labels who have so many federal guarantees that they are allowed to hijack the education of anyone in their way without any recourse whatsoever.

@educator4ever36 So sad. Of course I taught my kids things when they were little. The idea i used was to teach through play, like kids are designed to do. Use colors when building blocks, read stories, count pushes for swinging. It is natural learning and builds conceptual understanding.

I really hate this take. Why would a parent ever hold off on teaching anything? If your child is bored in school, then talk to the teacher but there’s ZERO harm in teaching your child to read before they enter school.

@ksammie3 @educator4ever36 Probably so you wouldn't be bored at school. I didn't teach my youngest to read before kindergarten because he wouldn't have had anything to learn at school. I was really irritated with school in the lower grades because I knew everything they were teaching me.

Read books that interest you. Watch documentaries that interest you. Learn about things that interest you. This is how you feed passion. Too many kids have zero passion for anything meaningful. This is how dark ages in society emerge.

Why do other countries continue to out perform the 🇺🇸 in education? It has a lot to do with the fact that they value education and educators so much more than we do.

Decades of abandoning knowledge for "21st Century Skills" has produced a generation of kids that can't read, write, or reason but can make a Power Point or Canva slideshow with which to boringly read off with their back semi-turned to the class. You can't build anything lasting without memory. You can't think clearly about a world you don't know anything about.
