    This is a cool simulation and visualization. But, note the situation in a classroom with no open windows and poor ventilation (which is characteristic of many, many classrooms). You want to work in that classroom for 6 hours, 5 days per week?

    The right has officially made "cancel culture" a synonym for when anyone tries to push back in any way on anything a conservative says. This is the most predictable outcome in the world & all the Very Serious Center Leftists who nurtured this concept share the blame.

    The real “cancel culture” - a state university fires a professor for her public comments...about their efforts to punish her for political tweets

    Breaking news: after deleting his entire Twitter account (which he was obliged to preserve for legal purposes), president H. Neil Matkin has decided to not renew my contract for...mean tweets? From the HR letter:

    Oh FFS, not that “skills gap” snakeoil again. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: “skills-based” education and credentials are profoundly pro-capital, anti-labor. 1/

    If we really want to know which kids are struggling right now, we might consider asking the professionals who spend 180 days a year with them. My guess is that they know more than any Scantron form ever will. Or perhaps testing is really about something other than helping kids?

    Capitalism: even the fastest sit down breakfast we have isn’t fast enough. Stop taking three minutes to eat breakfast cereal. Eat it in the go. (also add some fruit to the photo so people think it’s healthy)

    Read this 🧵 on how we think about opportunities in education

    Really sitting with this piece and feeling very, very conflicted. No doubt, this is a fantastic program for the students who participate. Potentially life-changing at the individual level. But... (1/)

    This is my classroom today from where I will be teaching. (Please note none of this is “virtual” teaching, it is very much a real space, with real learning.)

    Again this isn’t virtual work. The work I do tomorrow will very much be real. It will be conducted from home not campus.
