I ask students, in their written reflections, what they think they'll remember in 5 years. One wrote “That I had one class where nothing was graded and all I did was learn.” Posted with permission. #ungrading

I had a wonderful conversation with @Trevor Aleo about my latest book, #Schoolishness: Alienated Education and the Quest for Authentic, Joyful Learning, and you can listen to us on his podcast, Conceptually Speaking.

The BBC quoted fake twitter accounts as real It is done.
@OliaOnX @AbujomaaGaza And BBC has quoted him, while in Poland he saw and heard the rockets in Gaza. Quite a sight and hearing. https://t.co/8ucJCko9iw

This is a great question to ask. What are we actually doing? Certifying knowledge? Like a badge? Enforcing seat time? Measuring compliance? Signalling tolerance for alienation?
Question: if a student can pass an end-of-course an exam at the beginning of a course should we just give them the credit for it without having to take it? (If not, why?)

Tern should get a Pulitzer for journalism. This is unbelievable. Before everyone goes blind, please recognize this.
Eye problems are one of the most common after-effects of covid infections, and one of the most common issues of Long Covid - but they're not talked about much. This is part two of my thread working through eye conditions that have become *much more common* since Covid struck.

Remember the "Epstein files" also include THOUSANDS of hours of TAPES, THOUSANDS of hours of AUDIO, and thousands pieces of direct evidence NONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN RELEASED. Go back and watch the original press conference. This is all BS. They are withholding EVERYTHING.

Man the acting in this is so awful, it makes most porn actors look like they had attended the Juilliard School … it even makes some of the Pallywood films look real…

People seem to be confused. 44% of workers are paid less than a living wage. When workers are paid less than a living wage, they’re forced to rely on social safety nets to survive. That’s not a taxpayer “handout” to workers. That’s a taxpayer handout to corporations.
In addition to food stamps, many welfare queens also get WIC, free breakfasts and lunches for their kids at school, housing vouchers, Medicaid, and much more. We should only help those who can’t help themselves. And stop funding the permanent, intergenerational underclass.

This article about the growth of bland-sounding "data centers" to power the new Gen AI will chill an environmentalist's soul, even as they heat the planet. https://t.co/yrokLev3zR

A data center, which can use as much electricity as Philadelphia, is the new American factory, creating the future and propping up the economy. How long can this last?

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. https://t.co/L212r4a2up

Goldman Sachs says the U.S. lost 50,000 jobs last month—which is why Trump’s refusing to release the jobs and inflation reports. They don’t want you seeing how bad the economy really is, but everybody knows.

Your periodic reminder that Bill Clinton wanted to give every American a universal health security card so no one would ever have to worry about insurance ever again, but it was Hillary's idea, so the men in Congress killed it.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Trump has successfully pardoned everybody involved in Stop the Steal and the Capitol siege. I made a movie about it, my first documentary. I did it all by myself and when I’m gone, it will stand as a record of what really happened that day and how we got there.
