ONE reason our math scores are so abysmal is the questions are written like this

@bluewmist If you don’t have time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it over?

@MarketPalmer_ And drank Folgers at home, never got their nails done or eyebrows waxed, and had one car per family at times.

I watched a guy run a sub-six-minute mile pace ... uphill ... on skis

@edtechmathteach Education caters to the extroverts. The introverts hate cold-calling. There are other ways for teachers to see if students are on track with their understanding.

@sam_niac Best post I’ve seen in a while. And everyone nailed the responses. Tape measure, scotch tape, Carmex, and a random clothes pin.

@eduleadership Minus the fountain pen, that was basically my college experience. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

I’m sure sleeping in is nice but being the only one awake in a quiet house drinking coffee by the Christmas tree is elite.

@CollegeHoopsTIk Great tradition!

@DudespostingWs Reminds how convenient the under-cabinet radio was. Those need to make a comeback.

We like to imagine that a noisy, energetic classroom means learning is happening. But the research tells a different story.

A small bump in background noise can cut cognitive performance by around 5%. Effort doesn’t drop, thinking does. Pupils stay busy, just not deeply engaged.

Quiet and calm aren’t about control. They’re about giving the brain the conditions it needs to learn well. Noise has a place, just not when we’re asking pupils to think hard.

@mindy0739365693 @kwok_xian Also, as a hearing aid wearer myself, hearing aids aren’t like glasses which can give you 20/20 vision or darn close. Hearing aids don’t make you hear like a naturally normal hearing person. It’s astounding there’s so much outward irritation directed at people with hearing loss.

@realEstateTrent On Sunday, make lunches for Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, make lunches for the rest of the week.

@ColbeyDecker @marcportermagee Yes, math has somehow turned into an extension of reading comprehension.
