College debt reassignment (it’s not “forgiveness”) was always a questionable proposition. Now, anti-Semitic protests are making college students among the least sympathetic groups in America, undeserving of taxpayer largess—and clear evidence of educational failure to boot.

Good grief. In the words of Wolfgang Pauli, this is “not only not right; it is not even wrong.”

This is *not* surprising. We've known for quite some time that nearly every teacher in the U.S. creates, curates, or customizes their curriculum. The question is whether that standard practices yields any measurable benefit for students.
Declaring parts of a campus to be "liberated zones" is not only inane but an insult to people throughout history who have to fight to reach an *actual* liberated zone. But for many adolescents, drama is catnip, and "liberated zones" sound awesome.
The encampments actually *are* Students for Trump, the protesters either don’t realize it or (more likely) don't care. A keffiyeh-clad student is functionally wearing a MAGA hat.

I have substantial concerns about “equitable grading”. So I asked @CrescendoEdGrp’s @JoeCFeldman, author of “Grading for Equity”, for his take on a new @educationgadfly report that raises tough questions about the practice. Here’s what he had to say. See what you think.

"Think of it as the front page of a newspaper, but edited and written by people you trust." Boom. Journalism's crisis is decades of traditional gatekeepers spending down readers' trust. An outlet that proves itself honest and trustworthy has acres of running room.

Perfect statement from University of Florida on arresting protestors: “[UF] is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children—they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences.” This is the Florida way.
I often have both @Teacher_Fulton and @MrZachG like a tweet of mine in short succession of each other and I always chuckle because their profile picture is the exact same.

1/2 Important to understand that deskilling teachers is at the heart of Direct Instruction. Its pioneer, uber-behaviorist Sig Engelmann, said, "The teacher must be viewed as a consumer of instruction material." Also: "We don't give a damn about what the teacher thinks [or] feels"
I realize they're just undergrads, but "we act based on the will of the students," when the relevant students with will are just the "we," is an interesting way to dress up "we don't want to" into something more grand-sounding.

My daughter loves talking about odd/even numbers. I taught it to her directly, first by having her count by 2s, then telling her 2s are even, the others are odd. She loves quizzing people and thinking about it. Can we stop the madness that direct instruction is somehow harmful.
Good grief. In the words of Wolfgang Pauli, this is “not only not right; it is not even wrong.”

I personally like dabbling in the dark arts of behaviorism, but it’s simply not true that Zig was a behaviorist. This is well known by anyone who has read the surrounding literature… he believed that children construct their own inferences when presented with examples. @NIFDI

@alfiekohn That is a spectacular distortion. To be an effective DI teacher takes incredible skill.
Direct or explicit instruction seems to be widely misunderstood. It's often characterised as boring lectures with little interaction and not catering to the needs of all students. Nothing could be further from the truth. A short thread 🧵⬇️
I thought they were showing an Amish Mets fan in the crowd and then I realized it was just @EvanRobertsWFAN.
“This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences.”
@schmmelcke @rpondiscio Use principles of explicit instruction to change everything around and use AI and Google plus shell out a few hundred bucks for a better resource that you quietly use behind admin’s backs.
@rpondiscio We either didn’t have curriculum or it was abysmal, so I spent years teaching myself to write curriculum, and I loved both the process of creating it and seeing it in action with my students.
