Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

You cannot recover from this with future investments The data uncollected are lost forever

This is pretty straightforward authoritarianism: if you don't support my toxic businesses, I will use my government power to kneecap yours.

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous... (touching earpiece) wait I'm getting new information

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Genuinely insane that a major newsroom isn't running a live post today trying to verify what is and what isn't being impacted by the federal funding freeze. Embarrassing how bad the media response is to this.

Want to learn ways to use The Writing Revolution in the content areas so students not only become stronger writers but also learn your content better? If so, join me at ResearchED in NYC. You'll see lots of examples from secondary and CKLA K-2.

What a win! Bravo, Buffalo!

"Even half-right means that frequently using laptops, tablets, and smart phones in schools and university classrooms may be undercutting a primary mission of public schools: teaching critical thinking skills." larrycuban.wordpress.com/2024/12/27/i...

FINAL: Syracuse 52 Washington State 35. The Orange finishes 10-3 on the season, its third 10 win campaign in the last 23 years. Quick recap ⬇️

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

My nine-year-old got an old Brother typewriter for Christmas, and is writing a screenplay. When she gets to the end of a line and it dings, she goes, “yay!” I now realize how sad it is that this is missing from writing on computers. I would write more for a ding. I really would.

Tell me how I walked out of Wicked today only to figure out at the end of the movie that it was about the wicked witch of the west from the Wizard of Oz. 😭

I expected this Syracuse game to be bad...but it's so much worse

1of 6 Teacher boredom is not the same as student boredom. If you say that decodable texts are boring what you are saying is that decodable texts are boring to you the teacher/administrator/ed leader. #Edusky #SOR

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

"In this episode of Radio Atlantic, we make the case for reading books, one memory at a time." Hanna Rosin speaks with Rose Horowitch and other Atlantic writers about the books they read in high school that stuck with them.

🚨 New episode drops tomorrow! 🎙️ I had a great conversation with Blake Harvard @blakeharvard.bsky.social about how attention impacts learning and practical strategies to boost both in the classroom. You won't want to miss it!✨

Yeah it's time for proper restriction of smart phones for kids. Even a ban. We have enough evidence they're dreadful for us and worse for children. Let's get on with it now. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Made four new recipes from. The NYT Cooking 25 Most Popular Recipes of 2024. Underwhelmed by every single one. Asked ChatGPT for a recipe that would use a bunch of my open/leftover ingredients. One of the best dishes I've ever made. I know it's part luck, but...♥️♥️♥️

And never forget they learn language from YOU. Not a screen. Speak face to face with your baby. Make eye contact. Limit your own screen time and light up that developing brain 🧠.

Oh...if only I had thought of these things over my 30 years in a school without air conditioning! Open the windows, turn off lights, TURN ON A FAN!? Who knew 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you, NYS for the help 🙄 P.S. We have to buy our own fans

I love my Gen Z employees so much lmao One just told me about her study method, she said she turns it into gossip Ex: "Omg did you hear what this sociologist believes in? He's so canceled for that"

How do teachers help students remember more of what they learned? One HS Spanish teacher had students stop taking notes every ten minutes and write down everything they could remember. See what happened to their quiz and test scores once he did. hollykorbey.substack.com/p/introducin...

In the last year alone, ONE IN SEVEN school staff have been the subject of an allegation requiring union or legal support. That's wild. Tune in to hear us discuss all things HR in a fascinating episode with @edaptuk open.spotify.com/episode/15rX...

"narrate your day" ❤️ Narrating what you're doing, whether as a parent, teacher, mentor/boss, bridges knowledge gaps, increases language exposure, and makes whatever you're doing clear(er). Make it even better by turning it into a back-and-forth conversation — even if the baby is merely babbling.

Writing is thinking. It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

As #Trump and #Musk continue to antagonize #Canada and escalate attacks on PM #Trudeau, #Russia's disinformation and influence campaign is ramping up in unison. Experts warn that Canada is sleepwalking into a Russian made political disaster, needs to fight back and take stronger measures.

Fascinating study showing that people randomised to a self-kindness condition ended up reporting worse m/health. Those tasked with caring for others ended up with better m/h. 'These findings [...] suggest that self-kindness might not be as positive as it feels.' psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

"Some state eds respond to the decline by lowering their standards. In NY,OK,WI,&AL, ed officials adjusted their passing scores on stan'd tests or changed their def of proficiency. U.S. parents to think their kids are doing just fine—because of schools’ inflation of grades."

When considering using any tool (edtech or not) in the classroom...I always start with this question: Is this doing the necessary thinking for my students? If that answer is 'yes', there's a great chance I'm not using that tool. #edusky

Solid advice.

My evergreen #AcademicSky hot take is that the height of innovation and excellence is just getting the basics right and doing the simple stuff really well. Clear communication and structure trump new fangled complexity every time.

(2) As above, universal prevention can have negative effects. We find that among high quality studies 1/3 of universal school-based interventions report at least one negative outcome. When positive effects are found, these are often unstained, and further diluted when delivered in the real world.

“universal school-based [mental health] prevention is less effective than targeted approaches, often leads to null or unsustained positive effects, has the potential to elicit negative effects and is not well liked by young people.” acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In other words, we are better at recalling who likes us/each other when presented with self-relevant social networks, but who doesn't like each other when these networks have nothing to do with us. We discuss this in relation to a need to belong, to identify social risks and to track social status
