@Friended4Ever@grok is it true Nixon had a plan for universal healthcare that surpassed Obamacare? Is it true Ted Kennedy fought against it because he wanted a Democrat President to pass it but, after it never happened, Kennedy called it the greatest regret and mistake of his career?
@christineyeargs Everybody says “critical thinking” but it’s more complex than that. Kids need to learn the art of questioning.
And I would add pattern recognition.
@pt0kes Buddy worked for Oregon Dept of Fish & Wildlife.
During lockdowns poaching increased exponentially overnight (as did trash, litter, illegal dumping, human pressure, trespassing, and a host of other markers).
@SRHomeschool There are different theories but there has to be one common approach:
The kids must be outside.
Outdoors.
In nature.
Immersed in Creation.
@Jaime1951896487 If you have internet, your kid has access to more information than a Harvard student had 5 years ago.
You have infinite classes, tutorials, workshops, lectures, videos, tutors, courses, lessons, curriculum, instructional materials and more. They have the world at their fingertips
Homeschool if it works for your family, but teaching is a real skill.
Let's stop acting like what our teachers do is easy. 🍎
Most parents don't have the skill that is TAUGHT TO TEACHERS to teach their children.
It's not about 'Well, you were taught this in school so you should be able to teach it to your children.'
Never in my life have I seen people make such an enemy out of teachers.
I’m doing an online training and it said to list what your five closest friends from high school are doing now.
We lost touch so I had to do some research and look them up. Turns out one has zero online footprint and three passed away in their 30’s!

@WTSmith17 Pattern Language = based on the clothing, hairstyle, appearance and body language of the thumbnail alone, I can reliably predict his position.
I don’t need to watch the video.
Tracking is undefeated.
@AndrewesFish “No Democrat President has ever returned native land. And no Republican has ever returned native land-except one.
So we have a 5% chance of having land returned by voting conservative. Now 5% might not seem like much but it’s a hell of a lot better odds than 0%.”

@RizomaSchool I never wanted to be away from my kids. Not because I’m a helicopter parent (quite the opposite) but because my kids are infinitely more interesting than the majority of adults I’ve met.
