The American dream starts with a good education.
Every student in the country will be worse off as a result of this reckless decision, and so will the future of our country.
We talk all the time about teaching trauma impacted students but we NEVER talk about the child who is traumatized AT school because their experience is so chaotic.
Here’s why I think most knowledge isn’t very hierarchical: kids who read a lot in elementary become the strongest students.
They aren’t reading textbooks or anything strictly sequenced. They just build up a huge body of knowledge about the world from fiction.
Yes, this is exactly what I’m saying. Kids who read widely get fast, shallow exposure to a broad range of knowledge that prepares them to learn everything else.
Knowledge doesn’t stick because we go slowly. It sticks because it has prior knowledge to stick to.

Brooke DeLano has kept busy since her final #Huskers season in 2011, but coaching is something new. She's rebuilding the Crimson Pride program who won the Tekamah-Herman tournament last week.

High school and youth sports are so valuable because they get at our basic psychological needs:
-We belong
-We can make progress
-We can have an impact
It's not about achievements. It's having a space to challenge ourselves in a healthy way.
Don't ruin sports, parents!
