AI will make our children stupid | David James and Carl Hendrick | The Critic Magazine
Of all the recent signs that Western civilization is circling the drain, the most depressing is the apparent decline in IQs. The so-called Flynn Effect once showed IQs rising steadily.

Excellent post from Mary. As @counsellc.bsky.social says, "You cannot Rosenshine your way into a curriculum, and nor can you Rosenshine your way into mediating content in subject sensitive ways."
I don’t think as much attention has been paid to implementing the curriculum as it has to the pedagogy to teach it.
It’s a bit like going into a restaurant where all the effort has gone in to making it look amazing...

It is that time of the year where we screw up our circadian rhythms as a nation and keep ourselves jet lagged for the rest of the week.
I despise this.
It is a great example of a claim clinging to our daily lives, making all of us suffer despite the lack of any substantial evidence of benefit.
