Laughed out loud at this too

Agree that Platner is not irredeemably evil or whatever, but the problem with talking about masculinity like this is that men are like everyone else in that they know when they are being condescended to.

[Bhavik Lathia @bhaviklathia]

This is the vision of masculinity we need modeled for men across nation. That there is value in working on yourself and self-improvement. That therapy is good and important.

@MelindaJPerson Can we extend this at least to grade 8?

[Jamie @labattical2]

It physically harmed me to read the AEI website, but this is 100% accurate and should be the official position of the AFT and NEA.

But also teachers need raises.

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

When schools struggle to attract and retain teachers, pay is seldom the problem. Teachers say, "I don't get paid enough to put up with X." So by all means, pay teachers more. But we also have to solve for X.

insane that the only 2028 dem talking about education is the odious rahm emanuel

@C_Hendrick Look, some of us are sponsored by Huel, others by Alpha School. To each his own.

This dude sucks for walking it back immediately though. Most kids books are incredibly shitty.

[Jamie @labattical2]

it's so funny that this guy was like "most kids books are bad" and a group of authors, certain he was referring to them, accused him of racism

@pipe_wench not Optimized enough

[Jamie @labattical2]

the theme for the end of year staff picnic is "Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI."

Last year the theme was nothing because it's an end of the year picnic.

@JamesAFurey In more districts than ever, the parents have a credible threat of exit through charters or online homeschooling. Plus admin churn means that fewer principals have tenure and are constantly afraid of pissing off parents.

[Jamie @labattical2]

wrongly assumed all of this admin's education decisions would be constructivist bullshit, but this seems like it will be solid

[Jamie @labattical2]

good

The math mandate marks one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first major education initiatives outside early childhood. https://t.co/40AXiJYG6Z

@EjmEj confirming what many already suspected about the Manhattan Institute

[Jamie @labattical2]

This is very well put.

[Andrew Rotherham @arotherham]

"Critics of public schools are seizing upon the low proficiency rates."

Plot twist: proponents of public schools had better seize on this, too, or they're not going to have broadly supported public schools to be proponents of for long.

a truly talented politician would hijack this vague "campaign" involving calling 311 and making positive social media posts and turn it into a holy war of shame against assholes. only that level of honesty and ferocity can solve the problem.

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

The idea that New York has a dog shit problem becuase of a lack of resources is laughable, offending dogowners just don’t care because they’re sociopaths

[Jamie @labattical2]

Yes, I also learned/currently teach about Claudette Colvin, the pregnant 15 year old who preceded Rosa Parks. There's another lesson in there about social movements working hard to be culturally inoffensive. Good debate for students to have.

@edudissenter this is one of the most historically illiterate posts I've ever read on this website
