Adults accustomed to order and consistency as a rule rather than the exception in their lives likely underestimate the importance of providing those things for students who may never or rarely experience them. Setting rules, creating routines, and establishing clear boundaries…
✅ out the trailer for the documentary ‘Doomscroll’. With all the talk about mental health issues & declining academic performance of kids in schools - it would seem one of the simplest solutions … remove/limit screens (& not just the phones) doomscroll.com #EdTechDetox
Why is there so little nuisance or civil discourse anymore - “we are priming people’s minds to see only the extremes” it becomes an echo chamber… author of the book ‘Glow Kids’ - a must read.
Dr. Nicholas Kardaras breaks down how social media’s nonstop extremes are changing how we think. It’s all black-and-white, no room for real discussion, just emotional extremes.
Good grief! Is this her way of proving she cares about what kids are learning? The first place she goes is the World Economic Forum? No one wants this curriculum.
Randi Weingarten just announced "a partnership with the World Economic Forum to create a curriculum.."
The teachers unions have to find away around Trump pulling us out of UNESCO, so they're going with the main UNESCO partner: the WEF.

Dr. Nicholas Kardaras points out a disturbing shift in education. Classes that once focused on core theories now lead with critical race theory and Marxism.
BOOK OF THE WEEK📚 Glow Kids is a compelling and thought-provoking read for parents or anyone concerned about the long-term impact of excessive screen exposure on children. Dr Nicholas Kardaras uses neuroscience, psychology, and real-life case studies to illustrate how…
Why am I paying taxes on my wages… then paying sales tax just to use that money… then paying income tax on the same already-taxed income… then property tax on land I bought with taxed income after paying sales tax on it… then vehicle tax to drive to work… gas tax to fill the…
In case you need an extra copy @PSEA...
The NEA doesn’t want you to know how radical they are. They’re scrubbing their handbook as fast as possible… but we @DefendingEd have the receipts. The entire thing reads like a socialist’s fever dream. See for yourself, here:
This is a great point - now many colleges/Universities in the US are no longer even requiring ACT/SAT - many then get to charge the students tuition for the remedial classes and the credits don’t count towards the degree $$$.
A great point in today’s Free Press letter: If universities used entrance exams, it could help curb grade inflation and raise standards across the board. Canadian universities lean too heavily on high school grades for university entrance & it's likely time that changed.
Moldering at the bottom of a stack of papers on a dorm room desk somewhere is a an AI-generated paper that a student didn’t write, a professor didn’t read, and which was graded by machine. It received an “A.”

Prehistoric googling in the wild, 1970s edition.
This is certainly concerning and if states were paying attention they would fire back and invoke their own right to regulate.
President @realDonaldTrump’s new AI Executive Orders are nothing more than Operation Warp Speed, AI Edition. Fast-track the tech, bypass the safeguards, trust the Big Tech broligarchs. Didn’t we learn anything from the jab?

Parents, there are options … opt out!
“The line the Court drew seems bright: If schools use contested materials instructionally — especially in ways that make exposure unavoidable — parents have a right to know and a right to say no,” said @rpondiscio. 👉1/ Notice and 2/ opt-out. It’s very simple. Expect games, tho.

U.S. school district lawyers are warning that the SCOTUS Mahmoud ruling will likely lead to more parental requests that schools provide notice, opt-outs or both. I should hope so! k12dive.com/news/what-the-…
🇬🇧 High quality research on how children learn is now transforming England’s schools: retrieval practice, spaced practice, cognitive load theory and explicit instruction are part of national policy and teacher training. 🇨🇦 Meanwhile in Canada & the US, classrooms largely ignore…
Yes!! This is the way! #UnplugTheClassroom #RethinkEdTech #DigitalDetoxEd
Bring back Pens, pencils, and paper!
I'm so glad all those kids going through a standards-based, no deadlines, 50%-for-no-work grading systems will be prepared for the real world Really setting kids up for success there, progressives But hey, at least YOU feel good about yourself lowering the standards for kids
