I am reminded of Lincoln's famous letter to Joshua Speed in 1855

Similar to high school, where we’re told both to increase rigor and to achieve our district goal of 98% graduation rate. Kinda hard to do both at the same time with no additional resources.

It might surprise you but world history teachers, at least where i teach, teach that fact as part of our unit on early civilizations

The whole point of all that noise about pushing for American energy independence, which we now basically have, was that we would no longer be so economically dependent on Middle Eastern oil. That was the pitch to people. OK, we're now a net energy exporter. Mission accomplished! Cut them loose.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words.

I cannot search three words in quotes.

Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.

And now we have this.

And the per-donor matchers will be adding at least +$17,928 to that total 💪💪

But there's more to go! Many of the donor-matchers don't cap out until we hit 500 ppl -- and that means we need ~168 more folks on board by 11:59pm PST Friday! 😆

Every donor triggers +$54 in matcher donations! Plus a 2x!

Preach. It’s hard to be a public school
teacher for the same reason. How quaint it is to try to teach ethics in the year 2025
