Terrific!!!!

3 questions that appear the end of my article for Edutopia on AI concerns with teachers

We are certainly at a crossroads around AI in education (and likely will be for some time) but I continue to think the focus needs to be centered on the choices ADULTS are making, not the students

Three questions I think are worth asking any educator using AI in their work right now:

PS I made it through on cold brew alone 🏆

Bacon equivalence

I see bacon everywhere

Bless @alondra.bsky.social for opening this Pandora’s box at the end of midterms week

Here’s the kicker - then they sat in the quiet car, too, stinking of weed. Was not my prediction

ChatGPT. Had I been closer to a blackboard, you’d see I draw even better standing snake than that, much to the chagrin of my calc teacher

I used to dress up integrals in calculus and now I know I’m not the only one in this racket

I had the kind of sleep night that has me considering the odds of arrhythmia if I drink a Celsius before lecture🫠

I’m also left wanting more about the gold digging

Someone putting the Institute for Advanced Study chalkboards to other good use…

Michael is right. I’ve been wondering too

The Shamrock Shake Is Coming Back to McDonald’s — Food Network Snow may still be on the ground, the air frigid and the trees bare where you are, but that doesn’t mean spring isn’t coming. A sure sign it’s on its way: McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is making its annual...

Get thee to a McDonald’s (by March 19th)

I’m afraid to look up his pic bc i thought he was very handsome when i was 13 or so

Omg 545am on Tuesday getting into Amtrak - same

Did you just stare at his face?

Don’t even get me started on why colleges schedule games and meets and matches and championships that require *student* athletes to miss an unconscionable amount of their educations.

The social media ads you get as a ~47 year old woman are straight up rude.

"It sure looks like TX would like to provide taxpayer dollars only to certain schs..connected to certain religions...which inevitably involves the State deciding which religions are legitimate."

holy shit.

Over 20% of Arizona ESA purchases were 'unallowable,' audit finds An audit revealed over 20% of Arizona ESA purchases may be unallowed, including video games, gift cards and condoms.

I'm thrilled to see unallowable purchases called out, but the real scandal is what is allowed & the absence of oversight to ensure kids are being educated.

Public money=public accountability. Require every ESA kid be tested on core academic subjects every year, and publicly report results

State schools chief Tom Horne's Office flagged 18,000 ESA parents for misspending $10.3 million, but only 6 were referred for prosecution 12News Investigates obtained records showing ESA parents bought banned items like a pool, a hot tub, and sex products. Now, the state has to get the money back.

Here’s a summary video of early Arizona ESA analyses. Much of this debate asks whether purchases are allowable. The real question is return on investment. A chicken coop or infinite Legos or 3D printers may be allowed, but they're not the same investment in a kid's future as books & instruction.

Baller ESA account: By day, I girlboss in an executive chair. By night, I’m wrapped in faux-fur blankets, mood-lit by a jellyfish lamp & hydrating from 1 of 2 Stanleys. I carry my life in a series of increasingly expensive black leather bags. With a Coach charm, obv. I own a neck air conditioner.

If we say Arizona is flushing taxpayer money with its ESA program, it turns out that’s not a metaphor.

An electric bidet, purchased with ESA funds.

After spending the day in these data, I’m beyond frustrated. Public dollars meant for kids’ educations, literally down the drain.

Who among us hasn't subsidized a European vacation, or visited Petra, on the state of Arizona's taxpayers?

Two different account holders. This is outrageous, and fully allowable under Arizona's ESA policy.

I don’t make the data. I just analyze them (Arizona ESA)

Excited to share year 3 tuition increase findings soon with Jason Fontana’s nearly complete dissertation.

Anyone who took a 100-level college micro class knows exactly what we find about the impact of universal subsidies on prices but the magnitude nonetheless shocked me.

There’s a big public management literature on third-party governance and contracting out.

At this point when you’re dealing with 99% of private students paid via voucher subsides, Iowa private schools are contractors for public service provision.

They should be treated as such @donmoyn.bsky.social
