For the past year I've been doing focused reading on medieval literature, English history, the folklore of Scotland and Wales, and I can't express how just learning things changes a person. It will make you more interesting. You will fall in love with this world.

I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.

Hey institutions that host professional development, podcasts, ed news, ed conferences, etc:
Educators are desperate to hear from other educators about what’s working in their classrooms TODAY. Find the practicing educators and give them resources to teach other educators.

This was a fabulous article. This teacher agrees with Mr. Luther.
Excellent rebuttal of the "AI will save teachers time" claim that education policy and edtech developers keep circulating, written by a teacher who is "very tired" of hearing it
...and that's assuming that "efficiency" is always a good thing.
Which it's not. Especially for teaching and learning.

@juliemason.bsky.social didn’t catch all of Wednesday’s show, but I did hear you advocate for the return to nuts and bolts journalism. I, for one, am with you 100%!

@juliemason.bsky.social Thank you for the interview with Sen. Whitehouse. It was a driveway moment for me. The content left me ill & sick at heart. Bleak seems an understatement. But the story must be heard. I appreciate you and your show.

@juliemason.bsky.social not to be contrary, just curious, but did the Republicans articulate specific plans during their convention?

@juliemason.bsky.social I fell in love with Howard Dean during his presidential run. Every time I hear him on your show, I remember why. Your show is appointment radio for me. Thank you!!
