I spend half my day with a two & four year old and the other half with incredibly intelligent PhD scholars. On any given day I understand about 80% of what either group is saying.

This piece by Jed Atkins, Dean of the School of Civic Life and Leadership at UNC, is well worth reading. The school offers exactly the kind of education many parents want for their children. A few excerpts: “Nearly all incoming college students say they want meaningful work and a sense of purpose. But far fewer graduates report that they have actually found it.” “To address this deeper crisis, universities should ground civil discourse and civic education in the Western tradition of liberal inquiry—one that invites students to reflectively transcend their immediate identities in the shared pursuit of truth.” “At the School of Civic Life and Leadership at UNC–Chapel Hill, we have tried to take this seriously by placing the humanities at the core of our curriculum and community. Students engage in enduring questions in the classroom and continue those conversations in a residential setting organized around civil discourse. They form friendships across disagreement and learn, through sustained conversation, how to seek truth with others who do not all think alike.” “What we are seeing is not disengagement, but hunger. Students are eager for serious inquiry, for conversations that move beyond slogans, and for an education that connects knowledge to purpose.”

@johnarnold And this is how I have had my New York Times and Washington Post subscription for about 5 years.

Every subscription service: We're raising our rates. Me: Ok, I'd like to cancel. Every subscription service: Actually we can renew you at the old rate. Me: Ok, I'll stay. Talk to you again next year.

@johnarnold winstoncenter.unc.edu

Was walking through a random high school recently and was shocked by the number of kids with a phone in their lap playing games or scrolling and/or wearing headphones during a lesson. Made me very partial to ‘lock phones in pouch’ policies.

@nanopharmNC But on the bright side... I'm just kidding there's no bright side. You're stuck. Godspeed

@johnarnold That happened in CLT, NC

Square these stats: - 76% of DC high school students graduate in 4 years. - 43% of DC high school freshmen have missed at least 21 days of school. One theory is districts responded to growing importance of graduation rate by lowering the bar rather than improving outcomes.

@dkjhaunc Give mom a break! 😂
