Rep. Troy Nehls (R., Texas): "If Donald Trump says tariffs work, tariffs work. Period. Because Donald Trump is really never wrong." Young people will have to believe me: The conservative movement was not like this, and neither was the Republican Party.

Thomas E. Kurtz, whose work giving more students access to computers helped propel generations into a new technological world and spurred a global movement toward cloud computing, has died at 96. https://t.co/x1gujCoDCI

The most innovative and equitable classroom practices:

— desks in rows w all facing the whiteboards and smartboard directly

— minimize visual and auditory noise and distraction

— teacher orchestrates all students responding and clarifying their thinking as much as possible

— clear, concise, coherent, CORRECT curricular materials

— consistency and repetition for habit building in all schedules — instructional time is sacrosanct and predictable

Research shows the brain is far more active when we write by hand than when we type. Despite this, local authorities are spending millions on iPads for every pupil—a reckless decision amid declining literacy rates and other urgent pressures. Handwriting matters; we must not abandon it.

Before I became a teacher, I went through an extensive background check (as I should). Before my brother was accepted into the State Police academy, they interviewed his former teachers and our neighbors before letting him in.

Freeman Dyson on Science ✍️

The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my six-year-old friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good.

RFK Jr being tapped to lead HHS is a disgrace.

Please let this be true today:

“There was always just enough virtue in this Republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency.” —William Seward, Secretary of State during the civil war.

Thank you teachers! 🧡

The difficult task of this moment is to not allow the hate we are opposing make us hateful too.

If we believe dehumanizing people is wrong, then we must not dehumanize others, even those with whom we disagree.

The difficult task is to be boldly precise without dehumanizing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there’s nothing wrong with ‘book work.’ Reading and writing are important skills and not every lesson should involve you doing hula hoops and juggling axes whilst riding a unicycle. We’re educators not entertainers.
