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

Can't think of another example of a global power so demonstratively burning its assets and destroying its influence, in a single document
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. ⬇️

#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

Reliability ≠ validity.
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
