Perhaps we are guarding against others' anticipated criticism of an unsupported level of certainty. ;)

The high schooler's original post sounds very AI-generated, which suggests it could be a hallucination. While I am aware that students have started to write on their own, sounding more like an AI, I was unaware that they were also hallucinating.

I have a copy of this because I have pieces(with different collaborators- @monaiv.bsky.social and C.J. Prince, but the other work is all so well-crafted and wonderful I can't decide on my favorite. But do read and vote!

What's wrong with y'all? Fills a nice gap in the English language. Not to be confused with all y'all, which also has a linguistic purpose. Who's talking?

There's another issue, too, which is that the gains seem to fade over time. We need to get the kids reading in K-8 in a way that sets them up to further strengthen their literacy skills as they move past 8th grade.

"The U.S. higher education sector has traditionally attracted foreign students..because of the flexibility of the American system and its perceived superiority..allows foreign students to pursue courses of study that might have been precluded (under)more regimented systems in their home countries"

I have learned, just this past year, that drawing is a skill like reading, and that people can learn if they are expected to. I was inspired by this video: youtu.be/7TXEZ4tP06c?.... Then I worked through Mark Kistler's You Can Draw in 30 Days. I was shocked, as was my family.
