Are Audiobooks as Good as Reading?

A professor split his class in two. Half read a textbook chapter, half listened to it. Same material, same quiz, but wildly different results.

The gap between the groups? An A versus a D.

Here’s who won, and why it wasn’t close:

Attacking reporters, particularly female reporters and now even one’s children, is a Trump tactic used to disguise is inability to answer a hard question. We deserve a leader with some maturity and respect for the role of the press to inform the public. https://t.co/CrskCYDT9k

EMERGENCY EPISODE: Harmeet Dhillon just announced DOJ will deploy 1,000 election observers for the midterms. DOJ wants you to think this is business as usual, but I break down why this deployment is laying the groundwork for what comes after Election Day. https://t.co/asLR2fC2Fj

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace. There was no follow-up from either of them to see if I needed help or protection. There was no investigation ordered. No effort to get to the bottom of this.

“A White House staffer accused of assault by a woman whom the president knew and trusted? It didn’t even seem to register on the president’s radar screen as a concern. To the contrary, knowing what he knows, Trump has endorsed my ex’s bid for Congress.”

After 24 years, a teacher says the biggest change isn’t the job itself.

It’s the parents, the students, and the lack of accountability.

Teachers: Is this accurate?

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

After winning the Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport.

3 weeks later he’s still in custody.

He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making our communities safer. He should be released, now.

Were the Chinatown organizers powerless hippies? Or political warlocks? These two white guys, one of whom lives a couple thousand miles away, would say Both! on this 3-Month-Old post. Weirdo behavior
