@MrDanielBuck 100% this. Also, these kids who are behaving HATE group punishments. My 4th grader currently has a teacher who utilizes group punishments, and she's making him and many of his classmates grow to hate school.

Ohio State is the latest domino to fall. Notice how it's the schools that conduct in-depth studies on the impacts of test-optional policies on student success that are the ones who return to requiring a test score? The schools who remain test-optional make sweeping, grandiose statements, but never have any data to back up said statements. Imagine that. #SAT #ACT #SATPrepTeacher #Attest

The mistake we have commonly seen in hiring is when it is done out of desperation. Namely, it's August, there is still an unfilled FTE for, say, a math position, and a teacher is hired so the school can fill the position out of fear of having an unfilled position. Administrators learn very quickly that it would have been better to have just started the year without a teacher and continue trying to find a quality educator than the headache that the disaster of a person they hired brings.

@cmcfarland77 Give them peppermints: they are performing-enhancing drugs on tests.

Original command: "Show a bald eagle asleep at a student desk."
Follow-up: "Put the eagle in comfortable pajamas"
Um... 😮🤣 #grok3 #grok

OpenAI's image generation is sooo painfully slow. Grok is much, much faster. #Grok #OpenAi

@JamieClass5 @LizStepan Hopefully, that gets the Prop 47 treatment and is repealed… insanity.

The smarter students have already learned to have AI write, say, the essay, put it into an AI checker, take the results from the AI checker and put that info back into the original AI creator requesting updates to avoid detection, and so on until the checkers can't detect it.

[Chrisman @chrisman]

Current state of education: teachers use AI to make assignments, students use AI to complete them.

@ChefGruel We are rewatching all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad, but we have zero desire to use meth. #BreakingBad

@Resmond259106 @Eduventuring04 The school textbook industry is such a racket. This is truly one area where DOGE could make a massive difference.

[AtTest LLC @AtTestLLC]

There are certain subjects where it's really absurd: take Calculus, for example. Calculus hasn't changed since Newton, but the state forces the school to adopt the new textbook that's the 43rd edition (you know, where the picture on page 212 has now been moved to page 343) and everything must now be updated (except, of course, for the content itself, which doesn't, and will never, require an update).

@askteacherzcom @Eduventuring04 We often say that the best PD is to visit other schools in other districts and simply observe how they run. It's truly enlightening.

[AtTest LLC @AtTestLLC]

@Great3rdGrade @Eduventuring04 Yo... we're going to need the name of the school where you teach. Please tell your principal that we'll do a PD (even though we hate doing PD for teachers because they really are the worst students) for "only" $90,000.
Imagine the savings! 🤣

[AtTest LLC @AtTestLLC]

@Eduventuring04 This is the "research" that the Department of Ed produces.
Send the money to our classrooms and quit reinventing the wheel!

Applying to multiple colleges is a great way to assess scholarship offers from multiple schools (same reason you should get at least 3 quotes on a car or HVAC system), but we do agree that 60 is ridiculous... other students are not receiving offers at their 1st choice schools because this student applied with little intent to attend most of them.

[Buck Sexton @BuckSexton]

Applying to more than 60 colleges is absurd, wasteful, and selfish.

@LizStepan The learning time of the 20-30 other students in class shouldn't be compromised because a student feels the need to act a fool. I'm not saying that the kid must automatically face harsh discipline, but that kid shouldn't be in the classroom first and foremost.
