Now that English is the official language of the United States, I look forward to everyone understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re,” “their” and “they’re,” and “to,” “two” and “too.”

I am absolutely loving today's Silent Garden Lecture with 58-IN-MIND editors and authors. Only 2 hours in to the full day's schedule and already learning so much!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Received this from the grandmother of my student I taught for 5 yrs. (shared w/ permission). He's 8 yo. He found my YouTube channel &, in this image, he's watching the ASL translation of my dissertation study informed consent.❤️ Being a teacher is the greatest profession on the planet. This is why!

If you haven't seen this yet, go to the top of a US government site and zoom into the flag. This one is from the state dept, but I also checked the dept of education. It only has 9 stars. It's supposed to represent the 9 states that seceded from the Union at the start of the civil war! 😡

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

The two most persistent falsehoods peddled in education policy are: 1) that vouchers = “school choice” and improve student results 2) that investing in public schools has no impact Both have 10+ years of data now consistently showing otherwise.
