Is it good or bad if writing the response to reviewers takes considerably longer than the revision itself?

This is going in my promotion file.

Does anyone else have students that apologize too much? I've noticed a big increase in students apologizing for things like, "bothering" me during office hours, mediocre performance on a quiz, asking questions about an assignment, or getting feedback on work. None of these require an apology.

Something happened this morning during a lecture that I was simply not prepared for. 1/4 I was invited to give a talk about special ed, inclusion, and dyslexia to students at the American University of Central Asia. It was a delightful group that was very engaged.

Conference registration rates are outta control. I just got an email with a rate of $700 for a 2 day conference. Utterly absurd.

Donald Trump is trying to fire nearly every federal worker who supports special needs education. It’s kids with disabilities who will suffer. The cruelty is the point.

ACTION ALERT: Department of Education has nearly wiped out OSERS—offices essential to ensuring students with disabilities receive the services they’re guaranteed under IDEA. Congress must act NOW. Tell lawmakers: Restore OSEP. Protect IDEA. #4SpecialEducation exceptionalchildren.org/lac?vvsrc=/C...

The CLD Floyd G. Hudson Award for 2026 goes to Dr. Erica Lembke of Mizzou. @cldintl.bsky.social Congratulations Dr. Lembke! cehd.missouri.edu/person/erica...

The 47th Council for Learning Disabilities Conference kicks off with an address from President Apryl Poch.

Gearing up this morning to work with the newest cohort of candidates in the @cldintl.bsky.social Leadership Institute. It's always a pleasure working with future leaders in the field.

Just arrived in Salt Lake City for the The Council for Learning Disabilities Conference. Really looking forward to my first conference as VP. @cldintl.bsky.social

Texas was responsible for the largest systematic denial of SpEd services since 1975, in direct contradiction of federal law.

Reminder everyone: This is the final day to submit proposal for @badar-kauffman.bsky.social 2026! Submit your proposal today! www.kent.edu/ehhs/sped/ba...

Just to be clear, this is how fraud works, not how science works.

Me: Alright let's knock out this review with the super interesting title. [Clicks to open the PDF and sees the manuscript is 57 pages (not counting supplementary files)] Me:...

Kent State is looking for a new directer for our Behavior Intervention Specialists Certificate Program (aka BCBA). It's a great opportunity with a very fast timeline for application, review, and hiring. Check it out! jobs.kent.edu/jobs/faculty...

Few things are as persistent and widespread in U.S. education as shortages of special educators. As a former Pre-K and K teacher, I wish I'd had more training related to learning differences.

This is the best Redford movie, in case you were looking for a suggestion. Or even if not, I still want to tell you.

The has never been, and will never be, a better, funnier, or more compelling local news story than this. Truly the GOAT of local news.

The next articles from Mr. Petchesky: "Give up coffee and go to bed earlier" "Why not having fun is the new fun" and "We're all going to die so day, you know"

Honest legal question here: W/ the SC carveout for Fed independence, is the suit necessary (or even wise)? If the president does not have the authority to fire Cook isn't the best course of action to just ignore it?

Can't help but notice all of the universities being extorted by the Trump administration have terrible football teams.

Hey buddy, I think you're a tad over the page limit for this journal.

Another report released on the shortage of #SpecialEducation teachers. The @SPARC_Center research team works with state leaders to investigate policies contributing to shortages, turnover, & instability. learningpolicyinstitute.org/product/teac...

Baby wearing rules. Fuck anyone that thinks otherwise.

"We've made a powerful technology that uses big words and made up facts to impress people that know little to nothing about a topic. It's the cutting edge of convincing humanity they no longer need to learn anything or think for themselves."

And one important caveat: shit science research is mostly published in shit journals that no-one reads. Occasional clunker gets through, but peer review and journal reputation are generally effective screens against bad science.

Whenever I play a video on this platform it stops about halfway through and will not start again anyone else seeing this? My app is fully updated @bsky.app @pfrazee.com

Perfect time to re-up this gem from @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Hello, I'm a special education professor in a film who... Wait. Never mind. No one has ever made a film in which a special education professor is even a minor character. We do not exist.

I just spent a month (dozen emails, several phone calls to administrative staff) trying to help someone solve a problem that, as it turns out, didn't need to be solved. There was no problem.

I maintain the booking agent for the Allegan County Fair from 1995-2001 is a top candidate for greatest booking agent of all time. Both the talent and timing for such a podunk venue (max cap. <4K) are truly impressive. Take a look: allegancountyfair.com/past-enterta...

The Trump Admin is withholding $6 Bil in funding for public schools that was appropriated by congress and due July 1. Now SCOTUS blesses the lawless destruction of Dept of Ed so that even if they lose the state AG suit and have to restore funding they’ll be no one left to administer it to schools.

The lawlessness of this administration and its 6 SCOTUS enablers is breathtaking.

1) No one, especially not university faculty, should lose their job for a "tense but cordial" disagreement. 2) It is criminal that any employee is made to pay for parking at their place of employment. Full stop.

Today I enter the presidential line as VP at the Council for Learning Disabilities. CLD is an amazing organization that supports students with LDs, their families, teachers, and service providers. It is a great privilege to serve this community and this organization.

jfc this feels like 2003, but so so so much worse.

The premise of Happy Gilmore 2 has Happy hard up trying to pay for his daughter’s ballet. I have never identified more closely with a film. youtu.be/YKzRPFvky9Y?...

These funds are literally pennies in the grand scheme of the federal budget. But a $2M grant, like the one I have, and is slashed from this budget, created an innovative writing system & funded 4 new education scientists to get their PhDs.

This right here 👇

There are only 4 useful decisions for peer reviewed journals. Reject R & R Major revision (goes back out for full review) R & R Minor revision (reviewed only by AE and editor) Accept Everything else is just confusing and unhelpful.

Dr. Schmidt taught my multi-variate stats class in grad school. One of the most brilliant people I've every met. I also had the opportunity to ride bikes (pedal kind) with him on Wednesdays with the Tri-County Bike Assoc. He had almost 40 years on me and kicked my ass every time.

Re: last repost... Students with disabilities are NOT protected -- and will undoubtedly face more challenges -- under this proposed legislation #SPEDsky #EduSky

We're all familiar with the major ways life is getting harder for everyone but that top 1%, but have y'all noticed a lot of really little things getting shittier every day? Things that have no reason to be worse, but definitely are worse than they were a few months ago?

very frustrated by the way the press would rather focus on an imaginary horse race than the real stakes of the moment youtube.com/shorts/_DfOF...

Apparently students can't just show up at the university bookstore and buy their books for classes. The only options are rentals (pre-order only), special orders, digital copies, or something called a Flashbook that is automatically purchased for students through a mandatory course fee. WTF.

Book bans like this are an admission that your beliefs and values are so fragile they will surely be toppled by a gentle breeze.
