The issue of classroom management shows up again and again as an issue for starting teachers. I think it points to a lack of inservice-preservice connections in diagnosing what new teachers need.

Only time in my life I made an investment that performed as well as this $1 purchase of BTC was when I, as a fourth grader, bought 2.5 Enron shares in 1997

This shows further evidence of the downward stretching of the achievement distribution - something I saw with NWEA data and was pretty apparent inNAEP data. High achieving kids are doing about the same post-covid, but lower achieving kids are farther behind.
Good Kevin Mahnken piece on the big drop in U.S. performance on the TIMSS tests. The piece notes some interesting patterns in the drop and raises some good questions.

The just-released TIMSS data put the United States' ongoing academic-recovery failures in an unflattering international context.

Has anyone ever made a well-founded invocation of RICO in a civil claim?
“Drake has initiated legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify over allegations that the two companies conspired to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us.’”

A trend across many aspects of society in the coming years will likely be that we will have fewer children and pour more resources into nurturing the ones we have www.al.com/news/2023/11...
Alabama schools are adding staff, but losing students. Here’s why.
There are more people working in administrative, central-office type roles and more reading and math coaches as schools focus on early math and reading literacy.

This is parenting 101: the worst thing you can do is set a bunch of rules and then fail to hold firm enforcing them, or waive them for unclear reasons.

Increased academic leniency can harm attendance and "ultimately widen long-term achievement gaps."
