“It is injustice that makes them cross deserts and seas that become cemeteries,” he said, and “injustice that forces them to ensure unspeakable forms of abuse, enslavement of every kind and torture in inhumane detention camps.” https://t.co/Kg1MGTyE5R

Researchers have repeatedly found that our memories are faulty.

The implications of this extend far beyond where we left our keys—they extend to serious settings like the criminal justice system, where we ask people to remember things under oath.

When someone asks "How do I motivate these kids?" or "Should I use standards-based grading?" or "Are we closing the achievement gap?" the best answer may be "Hold on - you skipped a step." My new commentary in Ed. Week: https://t.co/FV2YeeT4gd
