The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

This needs to go under every single corporate announcement or advertisement about some bullshit “AI” feature they added.

Yesterday, Donald Trump said that the U.S. has "too many non-working holidays." Our so-called "pro-worker president" thinks that workers should have fewer days off. Meanwhile, he's spending a huge chunk of his presidency (and taxpayer dollars) on the golf course. Hello?

A #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summary on my favourite subject (after dairy chem of course), chirality. I love that a small change (reflection) makes a big difference. Students seem to hate chirality so here is a simple intro (more stereochem: www.makingmolecules.com/blog/tpyjoy3...)
