NYT: Teachers can’t hold kids accountable.
NYT: Teachers can’t hold kids accountable.
This New York Times editorial about teaching covers real problems that are collapsing public education, but nothing here is new. These problems were evident the entire time I’ve been teaching, but Covid allowed the wreckers and degenerates to go all in. They are opposed by parent groups, but it’s a tough slog.
Paris Fashion Week is not an event that typically piques my interest, but it showed up in my news feed.
World Aquatics’ plans to debut an open category for transgender athletes at the World Cup in Berlin this week have been cancelled after no entries were received.
This is definitive proof that trans athletes only ever wanted an unfair advantage.
Politico: CDC wants to be trusted.
Mandy Cohen wants to win back America’s trust.
Perhaps this article is incomplete or misrepresents Mandy Cohen. I hope so, because we need a CDC with integrity.
My nephew just called about the shed he intends to build. After my own shed experience, I am well-acquainted with shed design and build.
Prior to getting the retaining wall and garage built, I knew the shed would be in the way. This shed has been in this spot since about 1971, when the solarium was built and the driveway was moved to this side of the house. Rather than tear it down, I decided to move it.
Kriste Smith gets $10k for North Royalton
Schools that work well, do so because they have a few teachers like Kriste. North Royalton tends to have a lot of them, even though the administration doesn’t know or care.
When Danish Physicist, Niels Bohr, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922, Carlsberg gave Bohr a house with a beer tap directly from the brewery. That’s the kind of national pride I like.
One would have to be incredibly naive or distracted to think that society is functioning properly. Very little of the federal government is operating in the best interests of the American people. On the local level, several cities have stopped enforcing laws and have gone quite feral.
Coffee is a wonderful thing, I wish I’d known about it sooner.
On the Moon, astronauts will need protection from a different set of hazards. They’ll have to contend with cosmic and solar radiation, meteorites, wild temperature swings, and even impact ejecta. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has found hundreds of lunar ‘skylights,’ locations where a lava tube’s ceiling has collapsed, making a natural opening into the tube.
