Today must be math day somehow. When Ss begin to understand the relationship between numbers as well as the fundamentals of addition & subtraction, they may struggle less later. www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Next Saturday there will be at least 1,800 protests, on the same day as Trump’s authoritarian military parade. Millions are expected to attend. Trump’s trying to scare everyone into staying home, but he won’t be able to stop these peaceful protests. More here:

We've all seen so many articles about chronic absenteeism. When leaders ask families why their kids aren't in school, it's more possible to find solutions. ". . .be very wary of the unverified assumptions about what's going on with our families." Engagement & review can lead to policy changes ⬇️

The article may be subscriber-only so my fave fun stats: 66% of people around the world use AI regularly; 78% of orgs use AI; 46% of us trust AI; 35% of parents discuss AI with kids. It's the energy/environmental footprint we don't think about. The equivalent of power usage in the UK ⬇️

I think it was Orson Scott Card's book Ender's Game & following that I first learned about hegemony. Many of the books clanged then & have not aged at all well. Even so, I noted the "coercion and consent" elements. Some interesting insights here. theconversation.com/are-hegemoni...

Another fave podcast is #CautionaryTales. In this episode, Steve Levitt, co-author of @freakonomics.bsky.social, joins Tim Harford with some insightful, sometimes funny observations. His research on organ donation is shocking. timharford.com/2025/04/caut...

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

This is a senior Justice Department official. Who is in charge of pardons. And also in charge of investigating the “politicization” of the Justice Department.

We are the people of TL; DR and articles that offer up key ideas if we don't have time or don't want to read the whole article that is often published in a large font with generous leading. And we wonder about Gen Alpha. Huh.

There is a lot to like about Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford. This episode is a Q&A, usually about trust. The observations about cognitive dissonance & cults (around 23:15) is quite fascinating. Enjoy. timharford.com/2025/03/caut...

As a frmr systems analyst, I can't help but think abt all the court decisions that are essentially, "Nope. You can't do that. Put it all back." & wonder how much MORE it's costing--in time & money--to clean up the chaos than it would've cost to have figured out how to do it right from the beginning.

I'm doing some early (!!) prep for my Literature, Community, & Human Flourishing class in the fall as I review notes before I forget what I meant. I found a Templeton World Charity Foundation video (youtu.be/PeSgS3Hyia4?...) I'll show to set the tone.
