"...who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what to do with your body?" If that’s the new #Florida standard (gov't won’t tell people what to do with their bodies) then we should see support for #abortion, gender-affirming care, and drug legalization soon. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Never will I ever be able to sleep in on the first day of school🥰

This fascinating time-lapse of an orb-weaver spider building her web is even more remarkable considering she removes it before dawn each day and constructs a new one every night to avoid daytime predators.

Two of the top 5 U.S. cities with the highest #burglary rates are in #Ohio. Yet, Gov. #DeWine is sending troops to #D.C., which ranks 128th for burglary. D.C. ranks 33rd in violent #crime and 38th in property crime... Three cities in Ohio have higher crime rates than D.C. This isn't about crime.

Things you said to #students when you started #teaching... but would not make sense anymore... I'll go first: "Thomas, go get the TV cart. " #edusky

Meet the #Teacher is special day. Most Middle School students DREAD returning to #school. This afternoon, over 90% of my #students showed up to reconnect with friends and adults.

Just my take, but firing the head of labor statistics for reporting the jobs report is kind of like firing your coach because you’re offended by how few calories they said you burned after running a 5k. #BLS

Well I thought it was a no brainer... #FunWithMath #FromTheArchives

The #Corporation for #Public #Broadcasting has a #budget of $500 million out of the U.S. government’s $6.75 trillion. To put it in perspective: if you earned $50,000, that’s like cutting just $3.75 annually. Or, the #military could fund #CPB by buying 115 #F-35 jets instead of 120. #FunWithMath

#FunWithMath follow-up Microsoft is worth $4 Trillion. How big is that number? That’s enough to: -Give every #K–12 #teacher a $10K housing credit + $5K in classroom supplies -Give every K–12 #school $100K for upgrades -Give every #student free lunch And we could do this every year...for 35 years

#Microsoft just reported quarterly #profits of $27.23 billion. That is about $3500 earned every second for 3 months. In the time you read this #FunWithMath fact, Microsoft made about $32,000

#FunWithMath #FunWithMaps What if American #wealth was the USA? Top 1% (340k) would occupy 25 red states. The next 9% (33.6M) would be 14 green states. Together they own 70% of the land. The next 40% (136M) would fit in the blue states, while the bottom 50% (170M) would live in Nebraska. #powerful

#Educators: If you're using an #AI detector be careful, especially if it is a free for use page. Here's the Declaration of Independence. I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson was not using ChatGPT... These tools are not perfect. Don’t use them as the SOLE basis of accusing students. #edusky #eduskyAI

I used #AI to generate some outcomes related to the #bill #Congress recently passed. Below are the results based on available data. No hyperbole. No partisan rhetoric. No doomsday. just #data. And a reminder: #MidTerm #elections are 488 days away.

Kids First: "The school district forced pre-K and elementary-aged children to read controversial books that promote a one-sided transgender ideology, encourage gender transitioning, and focus excessively on romance" WHICH BOOKS? I know of ZERO pre-k books that do any of this. #edusky #SupremeCourt

(1/3) #Ohio has about 2 million K-12 #students. The Senate passed an increase in education of $224 million, or about $112 per student. They also gave $600 million to #Browns for a new #stadium, or about $300 million per principal owner. Since the Haslams took ownership in 2012 they have had:

OK, serious question: How does the U.S. institute #TravelBans on citizens from countries set to compete here both for the #WorldCup (co-hosts in 2026) and the 2028 #Olympics? How exactly is this supposed to work? Do athletes get temp passes but no fans can attend?
