Eindtoetsmythe #1: Vanzelfsprekend is het al dan niet op grond van de eindtoets bijgestelde advies bepalend voor de toelating tot voortgezet onderwijs. Kort commentaar: er zijn alternatieven hè! Elders gaat het anders, misschien beter? Thorbecke: laat ouders de keuze. 1/n

Ever doubted twin studies on heritability of differences (in intelligence)? Then you need to read this for clear answers.

What I found: not only is the slide misleading, but the whole trope around "twins separated at birth" being a viable scientific strategy is broken beyond repair. Full story here: https://t.co/QfaJIoblwA

1/ The new US National Security Strategy blames 'undemocratic' European governments for failing to make peace with Russia, takes a pro-Russian position on NATO, reflects white nationalist views on European demographics, and pledges overt support for far-right parties. ⬇️

Flijmscherpe column van die ene vrouw die ons land gijzelt en het eigen belang boven het landsbelang stelt.

The US has great press freedom, and if you don’t agree, Vance and Trump will threaten and sue you until you do!

The United States currently ranks below Ghana, Namibia and nearly every single European country when it comes to freedom of press. You don't get to lecture anyone on this.

Gijs heeft gelijk: investeer in de zaakvakken op het vmbo - en wees kritisch op het invoeren van praktijkvakken op VMBO TL en HAVO - gaat per saldo ten kosten van de algemene ontwikkeling, lezen en schrijven.

#Minderheidskabinet Iets om over na te denken de komende tijd #Kabinetsformatie2025: de opmerkelijke formatiemethode van het kabinet-Den Uyl (1973-1977). Doordat KVP en ARP wel bewindslieden leverden, maar niet de regeerafspraken tekenden, ontstond er toch een soort meerderheid

People who don't think phones/social media are having a deleterious effect on developing brains -- what's the alternative explanation for this? Did every country put lead in the water at the same time?

We regularly get 80-85% human-AI agreement on our writing assessments. Our first ever history assessment had 77% agreement. Not quite as good, but still not bad! Subject content essays probably a bit harder to judge for everyone, human & AI. https://t.co/Jx23q7d00S

The struggle is not whether AI is good or bad. It’s who controls it and who benefits from it.

Linda McMahon does not have the power to dismantle the Department of Education. Only Congress does. This is an illegal assault on our public school children. If this continues, millions of students, teachers, and families will pay the price. I’ll keep fighting back.
