Wisconsin high schools want to offer more college classes to give students a jump start. However, teachers with the qualifications to teach college courses are in short supply. For busy teachers, grad school has been a hard sell, @wisconsinwatch.org wisconsinwatch.org/2025/12/wisc...

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

I understand why people in education say they're turning to this technology because they have too much to do and they think it can ease the burden, but this is not an AI problem. It's a labor problem that the AI is only going to make worse over time.

How have you been impacted by the changes we've seen under the current administration? What would you want to say to those in charge?

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

The Elon Effect: Every single one of Wisconsin's 72 counties shifted to the left, from the 2024 presidential election to the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court race, less than six months later. And 36 counties shifted to the left by double digit margins.

Heartbreaking to be right.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

One of the central jobs of everyone who works in education but is not a classroom teacher should be ensuring classroom teachers have enough (time, energy, knowledge, training, resources).

If you nurture and value teachers, you nurture and value the children in front of them.

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

"It’s not to say that all rules should be thrown out the window; rather, now is the time for Democrats to look at where the high road has gotten them, and decide if it’s time to take a road less traveled."

My latest:

Simon has officially been elected as the next Dog Mayor of NYC!!!
