Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

Build child care centers.

Build health centers.

Build community centers.

Not data centers.

And not ICE detention centers.

So many educators I talk to want to know the most effective ways to teach & assess writing. I wanted to know too. I’m psyched to share what we’ve found over 15 years. I’m most excited to share it at the amazing Planet Word Museum! @thereadingleague.org

When I visited my rural PA family, data centers were all they talked about. If people want the rural vote, listen to their concerns about data centers.

Imagine you're overseeing the termination of clinical trials, the destruction of people's livelihoods, the dismantling of scientific research in the US, and you're complaining that Twitter didn't give you a blue check 4 years ago.

The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools - Nature Communications The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

50 years after the birth of special education, some fear for its future under Trump The Trump administration has fired, or tried to fire, many of the federal staff who manage and enforce federal disability law in schools.

"Fifty years ago, Ed Martin helped write the law that made clear to all states and all public schools: Children with disabilities deserve better. The law, he says, was "an affirmation of the values of the country."

He hopes that's still true."

This indiscriminate dismantling of education research has been plaguing my colleagues & dear friends all year. Eliminating the penny spent on education research will do nothing for the federal debt but will continue US decline in world rankings.

You can't see DLD (Developmental Language Disorder ) so what does it look like in the classroom?
DLD can look like ADHD but you'll also notice that children with DLD have difficulty using words and sentences and understanding, even when they are focussed.
