The example of the student who does the volleyball unit every year and never learns to serve ... I find that powerful. That is a clear sign that PE is not being used to teach in the same way as we expect any other subject. Mr. Robinson's a smart guy! educationrickshaw.com/2026/05/03/s5e…

@MrZachG Yes, and putting a ‘hands on’ piece up front makes the lesson take twice as long and keeps the students out of the deeper water they could have otherwise reached.

I’ll admit, I’ve often taken a dim view of PE. At its worst, it's often just games and activities that don’t build toward much. So I was genuinely curious to sit down with Ste Robinson - PE teacher extraordinaire - to talk about how to rethink PE. educationrickshaw.com/2026/05/03/s5e…

Every time I go to Best Buy I look for the alien my dad taped to the ceiling 20 years ago when he worked there. Still going strong

What John is talking about is the assumption that the learner cannot understand, or will have trouble understanding, abstract mathematical concepts without first being taught with concrete materials. We do not know that, and these papers point in the opposite direction.

Education research is weak and sloppy. Why? We all quickly condemned Units of Study, and Fountas and Pinnell, but what is happening in math is even worse. open.substack.com/pub/theargumen…

@MrZachG The "you're doing it wrong" is even coming from advocates of traditional methods, whose criticisms range from "I don't accept you not doing cold calling" to "If you don't use MWB's or turn and talk you're failing your Ss" etc. The coaching industry meanwhile is flourishing.

@MrZachG 100%. Should the fact that you're saying this the day after ResearchEd concern me?

The science of learning movement can’t widen its tent until the point of collapse. It doesn’t need presenters who recycle progressive catchphrases, dress up bad ideas in a veneer of science, and constantly tell teachers, “you’re doing it wrong, everyone but me is doing it wrong.”
