Imagine choosing your religion based on how well it fits with your political commitments rather than the other way around

In 1838, the Governor of the territory of Florida proposed "Let Us Alone" as the state motto. Governor Moseley was a slaveowner and wanted to tell Washington to, well, "leave us alone." It was not ratified. The state has put that motto on drivers's licenses. floridapolitics.com/archives/823...

The British secondary school system must have been invented by the same person who came up with the pre-decimalization currency. 😵‍💫

A student asked if they could use AI to help them use Zotero to help them make a bibliography. I did not lose my shit (which might have been the actual purpose of the question) but God help this generation, seriously.

There was a MacGuyver episode where they had to disarm a bomb, and six-year-old me got stuck on the idea that there was a bomb somewhere in the house

#PairedTexts 1. Why Schools Need a Phonics-Style Reckoning for Math by Matt Yglesias, not a math teacher. (www.the74million.org/article/why-...) 2. Emily Hanford's Story Was Basically Wrong by Michael Pershan, a math teacher. (pershmail.substack.com/p/emily-hanf...)

At this point, everyone who cares about education policy at all has probably listened to Emily Hanford’s “Sold a Story” podcast series, or pretends to have, and is aware that there is a correct way to teach children to read and also a different way that dominated education schools for a generation. There are now many state- and city-level pushes to institute correct instructional practices grounded in “the science of reading,” and the main question is about how declarative policies relate to actual practice rather than what the practice should look like.

The Story is Systems, Not Ideas
Hanford’s series assigns a tremendous amount of power to a specific idea. If only!

If there was just one core belief shaping bad teaching, there would be such an easy, obvious path forward. You’d have to change people’s minds. You could mandate trainings. You could ban antiquated beliefs from education schools. You could pass laws requiring teachers to go through good-belief training.

But, alas, none of that will work.
