Just hit me why AOC is so good and brilliant at being the adult in the room with all the trashy losers making terrible choices around her. She used to be a bartender.

I looked over and thought she was flipping off. This was right after she purposefully knocked a glass of water over.

No matter the area of library you work in or your specialty. We’ve all had days (weeks, months… years) that can be perfectly summed up by this picture.

The other thing about "looks effective at first, but breaks down at scale" is that basically ANY teaching method will be (more) effective at small scale. If you really want "one weird trick" to improve education it's this: pay teachers more, hire more teachers, reduce classroom size at every level
As usual, this "promising new approach" is just an ad for a small, untested charter school model.
We've been on this merry-go-round a million times. Charters often look effective at first but then break down when they try to scale up. Is it too much to ask for editors and researchers to know this?

When you walk around an art museum you will inevitably walk past a couple with a guy confidently spouting half truths about the artists and their work.
This is exactly how A.I. or ML feels to me.
