I dunno about everyone else, but this admin feels significantly deflated now compared to the beginning of the month. The election & the big Epstein emails release I think had a lot to do w that, but its noticeable that they seem palpably weaker now &, imptly, most of them seem to grasp that.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Luigi Mangione was a disturbed asshole with incoherent politics who murdered someone on the street in cold blood, and if he looked like Clint Howard instead of kind of fuckable nobody would care.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

the 'conventional wisdom' is correct. parent's SES explains ~20% of SAT score variation. how much variation in "being able to found a non-profit in high school" do you think parent's income explains?
Tapping the chart once again, the conventional wisdom that the SAT is the most equitable aspect of college admissions is completely wrong

Here's my honest advice as a teacher: Parents, do whatever you can to prevent your children from becoming reliant on AI in their academics. Within the next decade, when schools finally clue in to the fact that allowing AI use diminishes learning, your kids will be miles ahead.
