@ICdrew Just a small point, he is playing in the bottom 6 for the Canes.
He is often getting easier matchups there vs. playing top 6 with the Jets.

Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.

RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

@rastokke There should be 3 math choices in grade 10 and 2 choices in grade 9. We were very close to getting a 2nd course in grade 9 in the mid 2000's. The current grade 9 program isn't too hard, it is too easy. It does not prepare capable students for pre-cal.

@hangarhockey How about 64?
At one point, he was
top pair
Pp qb
Regular PK

Now a healthy scratch....
That trade really worked for
BIG STAN..

@rastokke What is it Trump says... "Tell a lie often ebough eventually people will believe you".

It's likely the only truthful statement that has ever come out of his mouth.

@BlueJays getting back into Jay's this year after a long absence. I'm not sure how I feel about Dan's son doing his gig.
Ben appears serviceable, but at 23, has he paid his dues? Not likely. In such a competitive industry, to think there wasn't someone better would be naive.

@MarkJCarney I believe the gst on gas is a % of the price. Which means the govt is raking in cash right now. The GST on gas needs to be capped! Why is no one talking about this? The small cut to the excise tax has done very little to help.

@NHLJetsNation how the heck were the Jets the oldest team in the league?
Penguins..
Crosby
Malkin
Letang
Carlson
Rust
Rakell sheeshhh... The Jets are older than that????

CST in summer means sunrise is before 5 am from June 1 -Aug 1
Do you want to take your kids to a soccer game at 630 am on a Tuesday? All outdoor summer activities would suffer from a loss of 1 hour of daylight.

[Danny @Simmer67]

@WabKinew CDT and CST are necessary! For goodness sake, consult a map. We are at 50 N, at the eastern edge of the time zone. SK is at the western edge.
Ie CDT Is not needed to extend summer days in SK. CDT in winter leaves children going to school in the dark for 3 months.

Not ALL education research is terrible (e.g. a lot of ed psych researchers set up good studies w/ statistical analyses). But a lot of education research is terrible and can often be spotted as such just by exercising critical thinking skills.
If the education claim being made is counterintuitive, and supposedly backed by research, that research is likely is bad.
I've been reading shoddy education research for absurd claims in math education for ~15 years. Here are a few of the things that are supposedly backed by education "research" that I've looked into and found the research to be terribly flawed or non-existent:
❌standard algorithms are harmful
❌timed tests cause math anxiety
❌taking math makes a teacher worse at teaching math
❌learning math in groups on whiteboards (BTC) improves math learning
❌procedural skill harms understanding
❌inquiry is the best way to teach math

The field has a problem. I'm glad reporters are writing about it, but the policymakers (e.g., in schools of education, school districts, government level) need to do something about it because it will keep happening and districts and schools will keep buying products based on fake research claims.

@BobIrvingCJOB Yes, but not as a contender.
1st or 2nd round exit.

@TolentinoTeach I teach, that's not a 'dirty word'. I have students take handwritten detailed notes daily. It's worked for over a quarter of a century.
This year, for the 1st time, I am questioning if that is a problem for my grade 9's. They struggle immensely with this basic skill.

@jaketapper your segment on judges was very scary! Orwellian in nature.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Trump has irreparably damaged the US for decades.

@EliseStefanik You are a sycophant, who is incapable of any rational thought that may upset your delusional grandeur of your king. You are so far buried into your dear leaders aura that you can't possibly see or admit the truth. He did threaten genocide.
There is a clear record.

[Danny @Simmer67]

@nielsonTSN1260 hey Dustin! What an outstanding call! It was without a doubt the best thing about the game. You should have an NHL gig!
You must of done hockey before????

[Danny @Simmer67]

@NHLJetsNation definitely the best rookie performance on the Jets this year.
@nielsonTSN1260
Simply outstanding! Has Dusty done hockey before? If not, this is truly a remarkable performance. Like a rookie getting a hat trick in his 1st game. Dusty has a future doing NHL hockey.

@snseanreynolds you sure this team doesn't look like a last place team???? 🤔 👀

Happy Lottery Day!
JETS doing their part, too.
Even Helly is on board.
6 goals on 33 shots!
Good job 37!
55 is over 100...
Great day for the Jets 😀
