@arlocado Ashamed to say I can relate to this.

[T Anderson @proftanderson]

@SarcasmProf @ProfMoneyBags Not only mistrust, also dislike. I said what I said.

@ManyYearsYoung @TroyWood01 @TheEconomist Can you cite a source for this, or direct us to some reading or webpage, or is this another bit of annecdotal data? Spelling and reading are two sides of the same coin and when taught appropriately (not just the way we learned), kids excel at both.

[T Anderson @proftanderson]

@ManyYearsYoung @TheEconomist Ah, yes. The classic "my personal experience > the consensus of experts and peer-reviewed research." I was very successful learning w/ the sight method too. But many brains *cannot* learn reading that way. Use your superior reading skills to look into that.

@microcenter When I need an update on my laptop repair (2 wks now), send a text & the reply says someone will get back to me “shortly,” what is your definition of shortly? Because it’s been over 48 hrs & you’ve made sure there is no other way to reach someone. #customerservice

Do I want to grade today?

@dontiepalone Yep

@SardonicProf Self care is not looking at this info.

If only there were a place where students could confirm precisely which chapters the exam covered. #academictwitter #academicchatter #proflife

@profkc Not yet, but the day isn't over. Although I should note that I did once miss a thesis chapter deadline in my MA program because a ferret spilled a glass of water on my keyboard. My advisor rightfully never let me live it down.

My favorite part of teaching is when I get 24 emails between 8pm-6am for a midnight deadline. File corruptions. Dead grandparents. Dog peed on the Chromebook. It's all covered. #onlineteaching #academictwitter #academicchatter

My child is 1 of the 66% (that number is higher in MN). In an IEP mtg today was told "he's doing well w/ vocab & comprehension." Me: "He needs intensive decoding instruction using structured literacy taught w/ fidelity. How are you addressing THAT?" Crickets. #scienceofreading

[Matt Warford @WarfordMatt]

Every one reading this has a choice: be part of the problem or be part of the solution. We know the facts: #ScienceofReading Matters, #CurriculumMatters, #KnowledgeMatters, and #LeadershipMatters! 66% is unacceptable and we can’t keep ignoring it. #Bethechange @edwards_demedia

Great, timely piece. "The actuarial emphasis on benchmarking and promoting best practices furthers managerial control over curricula and learning, and I contend that it undermines faculty power, governance, and academic freedom." #academictwitter #academicchatter

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

J. Paul Narkunas’s article in the new #JournalofAcademicFreedom offers a broad analysis of what he calls “trickle-down managerialism” in higher education and its grave consequences during the pandemic. https://t.co/lkBZbVmG5O

I could take the “no soliciting, no religious inquiries” sign off my door!

[Damon Adams @ThatDamonGuy]

Imagine if people knocked on your door to talk about science instead of religion. “Hi, we’d just like a quick chat about the possibility of life in the atmosphere of Venus, and thought you might be interested in hearing about phosphine”?

As the parent of a child who 1st began talking about suidice at the age of 7, I cannot stress enough the importance of youth suicide awareness. #mentalhealth #childrensmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #endthestigma #SuicideAwareness #suicideprevention

[NAMI Minnesota @NAMIMinnesota]

According to SAVE, suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the world for those aged 10-34 years. Please play a part in the safety of those you love and your community by learning the warning signs and symptoms of suicide.
