Learning styles are emblematic of the fallen status of educational discourse : 0% evidence, 100% vibes. Feelgood, intuitive claptrap that invaded schools unchecked, because there was no immune system to counterattack it. Now, the emerging science of learning is that defence. @researchED1
So-called “Learning Styles” were someone’s idea that got into the education water before the due diligence of scientific validation occurred - like so many others, such as notions of left-brain, right brain learners, multiple intelligences, growth mindset, “we only use 10% of our brains” and so on. Education won’t be a true profession until it hooks its wagon to scientific rigour and the accountability social contract attached to that.
Why is Carney taking pictures with half-naked dudes in pervert costumes while kids are around?
He should explain himself. Sign here if you agree: https://t.co/qFwX8q2mc7
One of the most predictable cycles in education is hearing people say we should never exclude, when they themselves would never permit their own children to inhabit a school where excludable offences were tolerated.
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Teachers.
Great book.
Naturally, I had to find it on my own. None of the big playa’s in education had that one at the forefront.

“save our children and we will save the West“
At ARC 2026, @Miss_Snuffy argued that the crisis facing the West is a crisis of moral formation, and that schools, families, and communities must once again take seriously the task of raising the next generation.
Business investment in Canada has been in significant decline since 2014.
Can we act like adults, acknowledge this serious problem, and address it accordingly? Or will we continue with the finger-pointing, political theatre, and ideological nonsense?
And to those blaming the Alberta independence movement for future business losses: enough with the hypocrisy. You cannot ignore the actual facts, including the last decade of declining investment and capital flight from Canada, and then expect to be taken seriously when you speculate about future losses.
That isn’t a serious analysis—it is political opportunism and it damages your credibility.
I knew to wait til the real details came out before speculating on the camo Montreal terrorist.
The Quebec media didn't.
They jumped all over the 'Incel' narrative.
As expected.
Turns out the Lethbridge University grad terrorist is an extreme Communist, and a Jew hater.
The Montreal terrorist, Seth Hatfield, was a student at the far-left University of Lethbridge, where he studied philosophy.
Who were his professors and did they pump him full of his woke ideology? Half his manifesto is Marxist claptrap.
Who radicalized him?
READ HIS MANIFESTO: The Montreal murderer was a Jew-hating Communist censor
The murderer in Montreal has been named: Seth Hatfield, from Alberta. He murdered a policeman in a shooting spree in a Jewish neighbourhood in Montreal.
Soon afterwards, government journalists at the CBC and elsewhere started describing a manifesto that he had left behind. But none of them published the actual document — they just quoted the odd phrase from it, and called him an “incel”. That’s a term for someone who was “involuntarily celibate”, or someone who didn’t do well with women. The usual suspects were doing the media circuit claiming that Hatfield was a “right wing” extremist.
But if that was true, why was the manifesto being shown only to selected, government-friendly journalists? Why were the rest of us blocked from seeing it for ourselves?
Well, that just changed. Rebel News has acquired a copy of the full, 104-page manifesto. You can read it for yourself right here: https://t.co/fAYaqOVZZe
It’s true that the murderer had extreme ideas about women. But that was only a small part of his world view. In most of the rest of his rambling remarks, he was indistinguishable from left-wing politicians like Bernie Sanders, Avi Lewis, or half the Liberal cabinet.
He praised Communism. He called for the abolition of private property. He railed against the Jews, and Zionism. And — like Mark Carney himself — he demanded the censorship of the Internet.
Read the manifesto of a crazed, left-wing extremist.
And never forget: the mainstream media lies to you about everything important.
