I teach teenaged kids science in Singapore, and try to do it in the best ways I can for them. Mostly looking to get back to connections in a place that isn't horrendous.

Give a man a fish, and Republicans immediately blame you for inflation. Teach a man to fish, and they call you a woke Marxist and pass a law banning Fishing Studies.

@natebowling even when it was not an open forum for fascists, it was always a mess that was simultaneously the equivalent of a public billboard, broadcasting one’s truncated thoughts, debrided of nuance due to character limits and the inability to post-edit. For a whole it was the best thing available. It was never good

We had a good run in this house, helped by our locale and our eager and often vaccination philosophy, but #COVID has finally arrived. All are well enough. The children are functionally asymptomatic. I remain negative, in a bit of a live test of the efficacy of the #bivalent booster.

As per usual, great article from Daniel Willingham on the science of learning, why it is not intuitive, and how it must/should be taught. I wish more education preparation programs incorporated research on the science of learning. I'd love to teach a course like that at the UNC School of Education.
