@grok @NeverNewsom50 @GavinNewsom What is the likelihood that these lower costs will be passed onto the consumer? Provide any examples in any industry where this has happened in the past 20 years.

This change primarily benefits airlines by reducing regulatory costs and potential payouts for disruptions. For passengers, it means no mandatory cash compensation for delays or cancellations (beyond basic refunds), which could lead to less financial protection but possibly lower fares if savings are passed on. Views differ on the net impact.

Americans have been begging for this.

@AP_Trevor What’s the rationale for offering this as an AP level course? What percentage of exam takers are NOT taking AP Calculus the following year?

The 2025 AP Precalculus Exam scores: 5: 28%; 4: 26%; 3: 27%; 2: 11%; 1: 8% The common-item equating psychometricians use to gauge changes in student mastery year over year found that this year’s AP Precalculus students had higher content mastery than last year’s, resulting in an overall increase of ~3% in students scoring a 5, part of an overall 5% increase in scores of 3+. AP Precalculus grew more significantly than any AP subject this year, with ~70,000 more students participating than in 2024. An increased volume in participation and higher content mastery means more students are accessing higher level math and are positioning themselves for future success. In part, these impressive scores reflect the far larger number of instructional hours that precalculus courses typically provide high school students, in contrast to the hours provided such students in college, where this is generally a one-semester class. Many of these excellent students will enter colleges and majors that consider precalculus “advanced math” and will thus allow this AP credit to fulfill their college math requirement; for others who attend colleges or enroll in majors that require calculus, it’s great to see this strong preparation for further advanced mathematics. AP Precalculus Multiple-Choice Questions: Overall, students performed well across most function types. General Functions (non-analytical) stood out, with 53% of students earning all or most of the available points on these questions. In contrast, Trigonometric and Polar Functions proved most challenging: 20% of students earned all or most of the available points on these questions. This is a good instructional focus next year. AP Precalculus Free-Response Questions: spr.ly/60164jSxY Students performed best on Question 1 (Function Concepts), whereas Question 3 (Modeling a Periodic Context) was the single best question on this year’s exam, psychometrically, since it had the best mix of difficulty levels across the 6 points available. Students who can earn just 1 point are typically receiving an AP 1 overall; students who can earn 2 points are typically receiving an AP 2, overall, and students earning 5-6 points are typically receiving an AP 5, overall. Question 4 (Symbolic Manipulations) was the most difficult, and served to differentiate the 3s, 4s, and 5s, as starting this question requires an understanding of algebraic manipulation that is beyond the proficiency of students who receive 1s and 2s. Students able to begin this question successfully are generally receiving an AP 3, and those able to earn multiple points on it receive 4s and 5s. All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2025 will be posted here when available: spr.ly/60174jSxl

@GregAbbott_TX Shouldn’t you pull yourself up by your bootstraps? Shouldn’t you deny handouts? I thought socialism was ruining this country?

I requested a Presidential Disaster Declaration for Texas communities impacted by recent severe weather & flooding. These storms caused extensive damage across Texas. This disaster declaration will give communities critical financial assistance to help Texans rebuild & recover.

@tguskey Thanks for sharing this. It was a good reminder as we look to embark on updating and clarifying our assessment and reporting practices. One question: What are you thoughts on assessing at a standard level and then reporting to parents at a strand level?

Before attempting to implement standards-based or competency-based grading at the secondary level, be sure to address these issues that evidence indicates are necessary prerequisites to success. kappanonline.org/addressing-inc…

First #Teachmeet in Beijing in a while!! Such a wonderful environment @SteelcaseAP office. Great lineup of speakers including @LiangKivi @jennyzhangeduc1 @SatArora

George Santos has been expelled. If they can do this to a college volleyball star, world famous Brazilian journalist, successful NYC financier and noted producer of the Spider Man musical, what hope is there for we mere mortals?

Spending some time with @HollyClarkEdu this afternoon.

@becinthelibrary Crazy!

@carlosalvacr @heyfocusapp I did and they set us up with a very versatile install for our school. Looking forward giving access to students to help them self manage their digital environment!

@chamada @heyfocusapp Hey man! Did you got a response?

I'm trying to get in contact with somebody at @heyfocusapp to enquire about a school-wide license but no response... Is the app still being developed?

@becinthelibrary @klbeasley @PanaAsavavatana @kevincrouch @DannyGlasner MLA has published guidelines for citing AI generated content. It seems a lot like citing a conversation (of which there is no recording)

@klbeasley @chamada @PanaAsavavatana @kevincrouch @DannyGlasner How does one correctly cite option second from the top? (Genuine question!)

I'm looking for an image I saw here last week to no avail. It was a graphic showing the ladder of student use in assignments using no AI to full AI. Please help! @chamada @PanaAsavavatana @kevincrouch @DannyGlasner @klbeasley

@klbeasley @becinthelibrary @PanaAsavavatana @kevincrouch @DannyGlasner I think it also depends on the parameters of the task.

@becinthelibrary @chamada @PanaAsavavatana @kevincrouch @DannyGlasner I think if they are being assessed, then any time where they pass off work as their own without acknowledgment.
