I think a lot about this quote from a VC saying the quiet part out loud. The quote is from Vauhini Vara's article, "How Chatbots and AI Are Already Transforming Kids' Classrooms" at www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Do I love the fact that the moderators of r/teachers removed a post of mine for being AI or do I hate it?

"The contention “Me Too went too far” is not exactly bearing up under scrutiny. Rather, a year after Donald Trump’s reelection, we are beset by daily reminders of why Me Too, and feminism more broadly, came to exist in the first place."

New: I look at the surprisingly difficult question of how to rank different states' schools (inspired by @jerseyjazzman.bsky.social).
I also take a look at a new project summarizing education research on various topics.

This is an INCREDIBLY in-depth thread about the SS standards revision process in Texas. @drwhit.bsky.social is updating it on the regular and it's worth spending some time with if you're interested in the state's standards revision process. (Thanks @ryanabt.bsky.social for sharing it!)
Good morning! Texas is revising its K-12 social studies standards (TEKS) for 5.5 million kids, & the State Board of Education (SBOE) is meeting today to discuss their progress today. I will be live-tweeting (posting?) about anything that concerns social studies. Follow this thread for updates!

There is something absolutely incredible about seeing a list of names associated with an education project, clocking male-presenting names save on and then seeing the one woman is a student. Which seems, extra special... I don't know... condescending.
The Secretary of Education just appointed five new members to the powerful National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI)--the organization that approves accreditors. Expect NACIQI to play a major role over the next several years.

Ha. You think this is bad? This one time, a high school English department had a meeting about maybe replacing To Kill A Mockingbird in their curriculum. The Secretary of State doesn't have anything on those censorship-crazed teachers!
1. In Tennessee, public libraries have closed for up to a week to facilitate a Trump-inspired book purge.
Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) has ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books with LGBTQ characters or themes.

By my count, this is the third major piece in the last week with the same general vibe. Can't say I'm a fan.
I don't think I've ever disagreed and agreed more strongly with a piece, seesawing from one paragraph to the next.
Will come back to dissect.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.
