[Talking Points Memo @TPM]

Because of federal rules, children covered by Medicaid won't be able to access vaccines that are no longer recommended by the federal government, even as children with private insurance will. https://t.co/f2J70gI7a5

@xianb8 @teachbk I’m sorry they did that and it shows a degree of ignorance on their part because anyone who does this is clearly an avid, independent reader, who should be lauded and encouraged.

@omgsidewalks My husband does this. It’s great! The 3 day weekends make the rest of the work week bearable! But it’s only possible because he WFH. If he had to commute it would be too tiring.

@0xdavecryps You can often defer property tax until after your death, when the estate is sold.

@LittleKen99 @alexeixbt My “naughty kid”has a 3 academic degrees and a Girl Scout Gold Award. She was awarded the Most Worthy Representative prize in her senior year. Cringey, but yes that was a thing. And no, never naughty.

@educator4ever36 No, because all their students have access to private tutors!

@LoinDuTribu Great post. Exactly this. Academics like Alan Murie & Peter Wilmott identified all these policy failings by the late 80’s, yet here we are.

@ItsJamesHall We’ve lived all over. The grass isn’t greener. You hit the same issues everywhere. Stay where you are, build community and work for a brighter future for everyone.

@rastokke Wasn’t successful for my kid. She was bored to tears and went slower and slower. We went sideways until there was nowhere left to go! Happily she was just a late developer!

@UKpresby @edudissenter This is what I was taught during teacher training. I lived by it and it was generally accurate. Those times when I was ill prepared or missed the mark on how to pitch a concept, or was, quite frankly, plain boring, were those times when the kids kicked off!

@oliviajune82 Curricula always have strengths and weaknesses. The best teachers IMO draw from a variety of resources to inform their lesson plans, including their own experience and what they hope will engage their current students. I preferred making my own materials, but I’m very old school.

@JArminMeister @DrJoelGator ADHD in our case is definitely genetic. It runs through my husband’s side of the family. I wish he’d been given meds as a kid. It would have saved him from a lot of heartache and failure during his early years, the trauma of which he carries with him today.

@JArminMeister @DrJoelGator If taken for ADHD it’s not generally addictive. My adult children all take methylphenidate; when kids the biggest challenge was to get them to remember to take their meds! They sometimes elected to take breaks over the summer/weekends if they felt like it, without issue.

[clarice @bequiaforever]

@JArminMeister @DrJoelGator It’s honestly the best decision we as parents ever made. As an adult, my son dips in and out of taking meds but the girls still all take it and all are in well paid, challenging and stimulating jobs, with stable relationships. Yay!

@docwilsonsci @MrDanielBuck Ridiculous how?

[clarice @bequiaforever]

@edudissenter Unmet needs due to societal breakdown, late stage capitalism, screen addiction, ongoing covid consequences, and lack of hope for the future.

@educator4ever36 Of course, the 504 technically makes these accommodations enforceable by law but in my experience, the district is rarely held accountable unless you get a lawyer on board.

[clarice @bequiaforever]

@educator4ever36 Our district only gives an IEP if the disability is shown to impact learning in the school environment. This gives them a lot of wriggle room. Kids do get a 504 w a diagnosis but it’s a useless rehash of DCAP accoms (MA) which any decent teacher uses for *all* students anyway.

@JArminMeister @DrJoelGator They aren’t addictive and users are less likely to develop substance abuse disorders because they are happier, healthier and coping better with the demands of modern life!
