My favorite professor in undergrad, Dr. @helenemeyers.bsky.social, is the best example of ‘English teacher leading a discussion’ I’ve ever seen and I work hard every single day to live up to her level of knowledge and enthusiasm in my own classroom 😍😂

The children really know us 😂

Anyone interested in the long history of Jews in the South (or who doubts its existence) should read Shari Rabin's terrific new book, "The Jewish South: An American History."

Yeah.

The “let the states handle it” folks don’t know that Texas is hell.

For those who think state control is good, be aware that Texas got in trouble for creating a cap for the number of students who could be identified for special education:

Sometimes I pause and wonder what would happen if all the time and energy and especially $$$ that has gone into AI in education the past 2 years would have been redirected towards tangible things we already know works to make classrooms and schools better.

Oh well.

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

I’ve been plus-sized my entire adult life and I’m working on buying pieces from places that aren’t fast fashion that I can use for years, so these prices aren’t too far-fetched from what I’ve been seeing, especially since there’s a store down the road from me and I can things on!
