Synthesis kids had a good discussion this week about timing. Every choice has a cost — even doing nothing. Do you take the hit now to make things easier later? Or power through and hope for the best?

Teachers: should there be a class in “mindset training” for middle/high school? Why/not?

(1/2) After reading “Mood Machine” by Liz Pelly, I am ever more disilllusioned about Spotify and its unhealthy infuence over music and culture as both an artist and listener.

Ah, finals week — where we tell students how they’re doing instead of asking them.

I'm annoyed by the term "soft skills."

Anyone use a better one?

Excited for this weekend.

I’m using collaborative games to build focus in 8-14 yos over 3 days.

A lot of kids think focus is something they “have” or “don’t have.”

They don’t realize that it can be strengthened with deliberate practice.

Games can be that practice.

If you zoom out, 25 minutes for lunch is sorta barbaric.
