I just found out Elon’s going to start charging a fee to use this deteriorating platform soon. I’ve been fairly dormant on here for a while hoping he would sell & move on, but when the fee kicks in I will deactivate. I’ve been on Threads for a while. So far it seems pretty good.

This is a good move. Writing is still a valuable skill. Could not understand why this was removed in the first place. And I don’t really think a ā€˜2-year implementation plan’ is necessary. Pick your battles, teacher unions.

It's not the Trump prosecution that makes the United States look like a banana republic. It was the Trump presidency that made the United States look like a banana republic.

Taking this strategy a step further: students link intentionally crafted distractors (wrong answers) to common misconceptions, eg: if the correct answer is the area, distractors may relate to perimeter or areas of other shapes. #iteachmath

@andrewaperez I like Trudeau. Don’t love him. But Conservative parties have gone so far off the rails - populism, divisive politics - and have offered up SUCH weak leaders that Trudeau remains the clear choice for most Canadians. Until something changes, that’s the way it will be.

Wuthering Heights is an all time favourite read. Emily Bronte is The Godmother of Grimdark. Charlotte and Anne are pretty good too.

The indictment of a former president is unprecedented. But so too is the unlawful conduct in which Trump has been engaged. A nation of laws must hold the rich and powerful accountable, even when they hold high office. Especially when they do. To do otherwise is not democracy.
