All teachers need more time to do their job well.

Period.
Full stop.

Teachers of literature (and all humanities, really) need time to be good students so they can be good teachers of their content and craft. The world changes so fast and we need time to study it.

they’ll pry the em dash from my cold, dead hands.
Apparently folks think that writing that contains an em dash is a dead giveaway that it's from ChatGPT, which I guess is a sign that most people have never read anything in their lives.

Unpopular opinion of the day. I think that a lot of young people don’t enjoy pleasure reading because a lot of adults don’t want them to enjoy pleasure reading.

In the tradition that @jess5th.bsky.social started, I wanna share some poems for the new year. I’ll share ‘the one’ I plan to use to guide my 2025 soon. #PoetryPeople you all share too!

I often come back to @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social’s How Dark the Beginning

Stunning, searing imagery.

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

I find that students have gendered expectations about who will/should feed them throughout the semester.

They should make a movie or something based on the comic book “Bat Man.” Worth a try?

Finally got to watch the probabilities scene on #survivor.

Andy did a very simple and reasonable analysis to claim it’s “remote” Kyle would win the next four challenges (6.25%).

The assumptions can be argued, but why it got so much pushback is fascinating and a case study in math communication.

I was never very active as a poster on Twitter, but I would love to more actively contribute to the #educhat community here. Here are some photos of my students enjoying a hexagonal activity synthesizing their analysis of “Eres Un Pocho” by Mark Oshiro and “#Julian4Spiderman” by Julian Randall. 📖
