Some words go together like jelly and peanut butter… wait, that sounds super weird.
A pair of words that is used in a fixed order in an idiomatic expression is called an ‘irreversible binomial.’
‘Peanut butter and jelly’ is an example of an irreversible binomial.

Education research is a public good. It can benefit all students; the positive externalities benefit all of us.
It's been three months since DOGE tore into IES and I'm still hearing about new layoffs and grant terminations.

A3: English-only approaches to teaching contradict so much research on language acquisition. Bilingual students should be allowed to draw on their full linguistic repertoire to learn. For barriers, many monolingual teachers haven’t had effective training for teaching bilingual students. #literacies
