Shenanigans and smiles last night. We met Judd (author/cartoonist/Real World SF) and it great. Judd was friendly and warm and a wonderful conversationalist. Thank you @thewritewerther.bsky.social #NCTE25

Spectacular and the action was spot on.
Tonight, @tienpham.bsky.social and I saw The Hunger Games On Stage in London. It was phenomenal—the opening night/days critiques must have all been addressed because we had a glorious night in the theatre! #HungerGames

i found you
skipping stones at dawn

your laughter tangled
in the cattails

you promised nothing
but trouble

your libertine heart
would never be contained

i just smiled
watching ripples ebb and fade

Panicking about math, reading, and science scores while diverting resources to "AI in schools" is nonsensical, but here we are.

The declines in scores began a decade ago with the influx of devices and edtech software into K-12 schools.

It's not the only factor, but it is important.

It's the first Nation's Report Card since the Trump administration began making cuts to the U.S. Education Department. The scores reflect the state of student achievement in early 2024.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be?

LADAPO: Absolutely not

T: You didn't even do a projection?

L: It's an issue of right & wrong

Sad I’m missing this/hope this means more people teach “James”; planning to teach it/Huck has been one of the most productive professional experiences I’ve had recently. Clarifies all sorts of things: the stakes of close reading, the meaning of “canon,” the place of “craft” in academic settings
