True mastery-based (or standards-based) education would focus purely on results. Attendance would be the means to an end, not the goal.

Know what's better than an employer's mental health fair? A job that doesn't jeopardize mental health.

Waiting for supporters of classical education and champions of western civilization to condemn the removal of Michelangelo's "pornographic" David from a Florida classical school's curriculum.

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

Waiting for the media to call this a hate crime against Christians.

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

PS -- I still plan to revive the podcast with an altered format. Someday, I'll have enough time to do it. Perhaps in June. Stay tuned.

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

I haven't checked this account in 4 months. Busy w/ 3 kids, wife, town council, coaching little league, Scouts, tutoring, teaching, & more.

I'm relieved to see everyone is still behaving exactly the same, harping on the same ideas, beating the same dead horses. Carry on.

@FrancheskaG_76 @teachergrind The result of learning is power. If students are learning valuable content and skills, then why does pedagogy matter?

I'm all for intrinsic motivation & lofty ideals, but if, in the end, Ss' lives are better for what they've learned, then do a few Starbursts really matter?

@JeremyTate41 Also, Patrick Henry College generally sucks. The only people who want to go there are homeschoolers. Test scores may be great, but [shudder].

A paycheck and a captive audience. 😉

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

@unprocast I DEMAND STANDARDIZATION. But also differentiation and individualized instruction. I DEMAND STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS. But also avoid sharing personal information, biases, preferences, and anything that could possibly be interpreted as political or values-based.

*Applies to high school too

@edu_survival Help them understand how badly they suck. They don't want solutions because they don't see the problem. You have to give them a mirror.

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

Students look at reading the way you look at Fortnight. So what.

[The Modest Teacher @ModestTeacher]

Students look at email the way you look at a telegram.

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

@unprocast When being observed, I ALWAYS ask the principal at least one question. If you're in here, you're in here. We're all participating.

@jkirk___ Loser.

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

Life is bribery. There are incentives (& disincentives) in everything we do. You change how you interact w/ Ss, they receive grades, etc. If candy isn't your thing, cool. But if another T uses candy & kids actually learn, who cares? Are we about learning or moral stands on candy?

[That Teacher Grind @teachergrind]

I am not a candy teacher. I refuse to bribe students like they are animals because they are capable humans. However, I’m one of the only teachers on staff right now not using bribery.

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

@MattRhoads1990 That's the plan. I was actually ready to start recording again a few weeks ago, but I'm running for Town Council, so that's eating into my schedule a bit. I'm hoping to relaunch soon!

[ClassCast PodCast @ClassCastPod]

I haven't released new contact since the birth of my third child, but ClassCast is still attracting listeners. Just passed 10,000 downloads, excluding YouTube views & direct downloads! https://t.co/4RXp8yo87t
