For those unfamiliar with the buy it for life movement, it’s a grassroots rebellion against a culture and an economy designed to be disposable. Adherents look for items that will stand the test of time, even if they cost more up-front.

In it you will be helped to learn what mathematics is about and how we use mathematical ideas to solve simple and complicated problems.

If you persist in thinking for yourself, and in asking more questions, what you will learn about the mathematical way of thinking. This book was written for you, no matter what mathematics you may use in the future.

Mathematics is not a subject in which we memorize many answers; it is a subject in which we learn to think in a certain way. It is important that, as you work through this book, you think for yourself. #iTeachMath

How Can Educators Teach in These Turbulent Times? (Opinion) To quell the anxiety of the chaos, make your teaching more human, not more heroic.

How Can Educators Teach in These Turbulent Times? With @christienold.bsky.social and others is new @edweek.org post www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Then the howlers about “a national erosion of accountability in education”

“we”?
succumbed to the idea of lowering standards in hopes of improving equity. With warm and fuzzy hopes of reducing race gaps ?

Hi kids! We got you to pass those tests now back to your child poverty, trauma and deeply troubled communities with lack of health care.

“At seven unexcused absences, the school may refer the parents to the juvenile court.” 🙄

“These Three Red States Are the Best Hope in Schooling” 🙄

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive.

From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

TEACHER MACHINE TO BE READY IN '61; Developer Says Only Hitch Is Lack of Programs for Employing the Devices (Published 1959)

The machines ask questions of a student. If a correct answer is provided the machine offers new information. If a wrong answer is given the machine moves back to simpler material… pupils will learn in 1 hour what it takes a human teacher a whole day to teach them in laborious classroom instruction!
