yep - these students learn a lot of Texas history in public schools, but they don't learn that.

update - no one got it. Closest was 1992. The range was 1968 - 2013. My favorite was the student who cited a reading explaining that she didn't know because she's not "deeply involved"

extra credit question on test - when is the last time a Democrat won statewide election in Texas? Half credit for coming within 5 years.

I'm curious to see what they put down.

this was for Lucky Lab, which is my favorite on campus, but there are lots of good coffee shops in Austin that I'm happy to recommend.

we'll see! My idea here is that there are students who work hard, but maybe don't have a good sense of what an "A" exam looks like. I hope this can demystify things a bit.

Piloting an idea for students who want to do better on tests - I got 3 $15 gift cards at a good coffee shop and gave them to 3 high scorers who agreed to share exams with students who wanted to do better, with the idea that they could get some fancy coffee or pastries and chat. Fingers crossed!

Beautiful goal by Shaw, and the passing sequences are amazing.

This might legit be the most patriotic thing I’ve ever written.

irrelevant at this point, but that was a beautiful Miami goal.

do yellows carry over to the MLS final? Seems like a problem if so.

predicting 3-0 Miami, fwiw.

I appreciate how strict scrutiny refers to mid cycle gerrymandering as β€œboy math”
