Jefferson didn't anticipate a 'free' press that was beholden to corporate owners.

This is such an important thing. When we talk about how men are “more direct” we really gloss over the social and sometimes material consequences women and especially women of color face for being direct about anything.

If you were looking for motivation to get politically active, to adopt a candidate, to donate, to volunteer in the midterms, let the prospect of Bannon going to jail inspire you!

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Ring those history bells

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

yeah why might it be harder for someone to break 50% in a three-way race versus a two-way race. obviously it has something to do with ideology.

Lessons for #math education in this thread #iTeachMath

They’re still under the illusion that by running a bland, do-nothing, bipartisan-talking centrist they’re going to do anything to keep the fire-breathing, do-anything, burn-it-down GOP from dragging them? How is that possible?

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

the editorial's fundamental reasoning "illustrates the collapse of the new Washpost Opinion page" … there was "no clarification or correction appended to the piece."

Y'all, this is an amazing piece of writing from @teachnexttmb.bsky.social . I am taking in chunks in order to savor. If you know, but don't know Ty, then let this be your sign that it's time to get familiar. oftenatangent.wordpress.com/2024/12/12/p...

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

precedent he is setting is that history doesn’t matter; laws, procedures and customs are irrelevant; and there is no role for collaboration, transparency and review wapo.st/3Whz4OX

But this study shows that there can be academic spillover benefits from high-quality and well-implemented SEL lessons. A list of them is linked to in my story. (5/5) hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

The tests must continue! Support, not so much #education

The academic benefits of cellphone bans in schools are more modest than proponents had hoped for, but they do seem to be helping students. "A lot of discipline" in the first year as students adjust to the new rules. (1/2) hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Cellphone bans can help kids learn — but Black students are suspended more as schools make the shift hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Arguments about #math #education in the 1940's. Sound familiar? #iTeachMath

"A good sound program of arithmetic will develop meanings and understandings as basic and necessary to a functional program which does not slight computation and problem solving." (1956) #iTeachMath

"One of the most obvious facts about mathematics in our secondary schools is a very general dissatisfaction which is expressed on all sides. There is an alarming number of failures, especially in the first year of the high school..." #iTeachMath

I was going to say the same thing as @marybourassa.bsky.social . With the pacing tools, Desmos activities are very helpful in asynchronous math class. Here is my collection. classroom.amplify.com/collection/5...

Conceptual understanding and procedural fluency: 1955 @NCTM @NCTM.org "Once a child has put meaning into an operation or a relationship, there must be practice or drill to secure facility and accuracy thereafter." #iTeachMath 🧵🪡
