I'm going to float this nuclear take: maybe students are increasingly turning to ShitGPT and other deskilling devices because the structure of the modern university has made it impossible for them to acquire skill in a deep way.

Yes, exactly! Also, this study is actually pretty revealing about the ways families continue to be excluded from the creation of these documents. It shows that families are *presented* with IEPs, not part of the process of creating them. A specific procedural legal requirement! 🫠

I'm concerned about the implications of assuming that because a large language model can write a child's IEP faster than a human that this means it's also necessarily ensuring that legal provisions are being complied with (and that's aside from questions I have about quality!) /3

At number 6 is a study on IEPs in the Age of AI. The findings conclude "overall positive perceptions on using AI to facilitate workload." I'm left wondering why as educators we continue to emphasize efficiency over democratic accountability? /2

RFK Jr. has awarded $1.6 million to a group in Denmark to conduct a randomized, single-blind study of the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) to be conducted in Guinea-Bissau.
In my opinion, this is, quite simply, completely unethical, unacceptable, and predatory.
Here’s why.

This tracks with my experience. DHS made up stories like this in Chicago, too. Every story ICE told about being attacked by community members was debunked in court. To assume anything they say is even potentially credible is irresponsible and out of touch with reality.
Re: the ICE actions in south Minneapolis Monday. DHS said "rioters" attacked officers with rocks and pepper spray. Note: I received lots of evidence and didn't see any rocks, the only pepper spray I saw was ICE agents sometimes spraying each other. I did see snow and possibly ice being thrown. (1)

If you are a white man in media and STILL whining about all the Black/poc/women who "took your jobs" after the absolute bloodbath/backlash and almost violent re-whitening of media, punditry and academia in the past year, you should go to therapy, find god/gods or take up knitting
Just my two cents
Just my two cents
![In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, newsrooms tripped over themselves to stage a “reckoning.” The New York Times solemnly promised “sweeping” reforms—on top of the sweeping reforms it had already promised. The Washington Post declared it would become “the most diverse and inclusive newsroom in the country.” CNN pledged a “sustained commitment” to race coverage, while Bon Appétit confessed that “our mastheads have been far too white for far too long” and that the magazine had “tokenize[d] many BIPOC staffers and contributors.” NPR went further still, declaring that diversity was nothing less than its “North Star.”
These weren’t empty slogans, either. In 2021, new hires at Condé Nast were just 25 percent male and 49 percent white; at the California Times, parent company of The Los Angeles Times and The San Diego Union-Tribune, they were just 39 percent male and 31 percent white. That year ProPublica hired 66 percent women and 58 percent people of color; at NPR, 78 percent of new hires were people of color.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7a4j47j42ezdr3au7pxdlzjt/bafkreiahipy4vqeqt4ik5ls3tnmm4glmal2njjqp6mp3loikkvtsfu2b7i@jpeg)

I know it's not the first time a suspect has remained at large, but having the FBI be headed by a buffoon and a DOJ that's largely focused on taking down political enemies is probably not helping.
Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

I agree with all this — sick leave is essential to a healthy society. While we’re working on that, though, we need to make it a general norm that if you MUST be around others while sick, you wear a mask (preferably a good one).
3/ Isolation is important but only works if people can afford it. Many people simply can’t stay home when sick. Without meaningful sick pay, asking people to isolate is unrealistic. Better financial support is essential to reduce transmission.
