@AP_Trevor is there a way to see what percentage of students taking the BC Calculus exam took AB previously? (Not the subscore, but took the classes in sequence.)

@dunkindonuts opened at 5. WHM walked over at 5:05 and was already 20th in line. 😆 It is not the only option in this terminal. It’s just that Boston runs on Dunkin.

@AgathaChocolats “Hide the ugly part” failed us.

Preach! We may have singlehandedly
turned Target’s numbers around.

If you thought college tuition was expensive, wait until that last minute run to Target to get her all the toiletries she will need.

This is the central problem with higher education in the age of AI.

We can't require students to do take-home writing assignments (e.g. term papers) any more, because most will cheat and have ChatGPT or Claude or Grok do the writing.

But we can't teach critical thinking, rationality, perseverance, & scholarship without requiring writing assignments that they work on -- researching, drafting, editing, revising, polishing -- over a period of days or weeks.

The result may be a whole generation of students who can't really write, or think, or articulate what they really believe and value, and why.

I signed up and committed to running an SAT/ACT Math prep "camp" at my school's summer camps. It's 4 hours daily, M-F, 1 week. I'll start & end w/practice tests, but I'm debating how to frame the rest of the time. Have you done this? What worked best for you? #MTBoS #ITeachMath

@pamjwilson @druinok I sat in an AP Stats pbl-based-approach session this past week and missed her deeply. She would have been in her element!!

[Jennifer Michaelis @MichaelisMath]

Feeling so very sad today and thinking of @druinok. We will forever miss you, Shelli. I am a better teacher and person because of you.

@Mrs_CHibbard @FiveThirtyEight Sorry I am late to reply! But that does not mean I don’t appreciate this. Belated “thank you!” — this is great!

[Jennifer Michaelis @MichaelisMath]

#MTBoS I'm re-working a #stats unit for our h.s. Geometry course, & I'm looking for fun data science articles for examples. I used to rely on @FiveThirtyEight for such stuff, but it's gone. What are your new data go-to's? (Think: entertainment, sports, education ... NO politics)

@SDWesq Haven't you always wanted a monkey?

[Jennifer Michaelis @MichaelisMath]

Filling my online cart and wondered, which is the better deal? Got myself a unit conversion problem in the wild! #MTBoS #ITeachMath

@guardian For the love of all things holy, it’s ON Long Island.

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.

Over and over and over.

@Target, we think you need an Orlando-area SpokesToddler, don’t you agree?! She was shopping for her new baby brother like a seasoned pro! #ToddlersofTarget #SpokesToddler #Target

My h.s. sr is looking to learn about the world of sports medicine & ideally to get to help with some research. She's struck out w/various requests; medical offices can allow for a shadow day, but can't provide much more. Any ideas for approaches/opportunities? We're in central ME

Climb a 15-foot snow pile to plant a flamingo because you’re dreaming of summer?! Done! Side note: @vineyardvines need a teen model? #mustpayfortravelhockeysomehow #MarchinMaine
