A reminder that Ohio is nearly $2 billion in the hole, that we know of, from the vouchers. Large districts are proposing consolidation of current buildings to save money.

RFK Jr. has thoughts about breastfeeding.

I have thoughts about paid parental leave.

You're the dipshit liver doctor who voted to confirm the dipshit. You owe America an apology, but even then, no apology will ever be enough. #medsky

Study Finds Mental Health Benefit to One-Week Social Media Break Young adults who engaged in a social media “detox” reported reductions in depression, anxiety and insomnia, though it was unclear how long the effects would last.

Dialing down the use of social media for a week reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia in young adults, according to a study published on Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open.

South Carolina Rep. RJ May (R), who accused drag queens and transgender people of harming children, pleaded guilty last Friday to distributing child sex abuse material, including images of adults abusing 7-year-olds, after initially denying it. He was honored as the 2023 Legislator of the Year.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

I don't know about you folks, but I plan to deadname the Defense Department every chance I get.

Excited to hear that Tiffin Columbian’s Chris Monsour is the Ohio Teacher of the Year! Chris is a fellow science teacher and PAEMST awardee!

That’s an Ohio B

"Graphic with 'Anthropic' logo on left, circuit-like design. Right text reads: 'Authors: You May Be Part of This Class Action Lawsuit. Anthropic AI Lawsuit Explained.' Modern, tech-themed design."

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI.

All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work.

There are only a few weeks left to submit public comment on the USDOE’s guidance on AI in education, which proposes to saturate K-12 with AI in teaching and learning despite a lack of research into its effectiveness.

“Grounded in academic rigor” 🤦‍♀️

A U.S. House resolution has been introduced that would call for the immediate release of the Epstein files.

It has 35 Democratic co-sponsors. Not a single Republican.

This is the same Grok that was "manipulated" into praising Hitler last week.

What could possibly go wrong when integrating this AI into our national security?

How about this one?

Cheap and implemented badly and without fidelity 🤦‍♀️

But worse in education because of scale - classroom or school of users instead of individual - and and risk. An adult choosing to use AI is different from children being told to or encouraged to *instead* of learning

All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2025 will be posted here when available: spr.ly/60174TpA3

The most challenging of all this year’s AP Chemistry FRQs was Q6, the Zn and AI Galvanic Cell question, which identified the most advanced students in the course, generally helping to identify which would receive AP 4s and which would receive AP 5s. 5% of students earned all 4 points on it.

The highest performance on this year’s free-response questions was on Q4, the Methanol and Formaldehyde question. 22% of students earned all 4 points on it.

...students who can answer all but one part of the question are generally receiving an AP 4; and students who can answer 1-2 parts of the question are generally receiving AP 3s. Students unable to answer any part of this question correctly are typically receiving AP 1s and 2s.

...so that the measurement value of the question is high, working well to differentiate between students who should receive 5s, 4s, and 3s. Students who can answer every part of this question are typically receiving an AP 5 for their overall work on the exam...

Free-Response Questions (FRQs)

Question 7, the Glycolate question, is psychometrically pristine, the most statistically “perfect” question I’ve yet seen on this year’s exams, which means that each of the 4 points is significantly different in difficulty from every other point...

...so there are certainly exceptions to the positive trend in performance over time, but it’s good to see that in aggregate, performance is improving alongside increased opportunities.

I hear and share concerns of school administrators rushing AP Chemistry teachers by cutting labs or not providing adequate instructional time...

...overtaking AP Economics to be the subject that has provided the most additional students with access to the learning environments of their classrooms.

Another rave for the AP Chemistry community: they have pulled off this year’s significant increase in student performance while also expanding this very challenging course to 18,000 more students...

So this is a good unit for further focus as next year’s AP Chemistry students and teachers seek to extend AP Chem’s super impressive, multi-year trend of stronger content and skill mastery.

By far the most challenging unit for AP Chemistry students was Acids and Bases (Unit 8); 7% of students earned every point possible for this unit, and 6% of students, generally those who are receiving 1s, were unable to answer any question about this unit correctly.
