Yikes. You can listen to a podcast with me on it. Learn my views on #homeschooling and #K12education. I think formal education has a lot to learn from the success of homeschoolers. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

It's almost #backtohomeschool time! Are you excited? The beginning of a new homeschool year should be exciting rather than stressful, but to get to that point requires some planning. homeschool.com/blog/2020/08/…

Replying to @drrodberger
@drrodberger Really enjoyed talking to you about #education and #homeschooling So glad it dropped, great tough questions and discussion. Example: "Is homeschooling's success an indictment of our schools?" #drrodberger #homeschoollife podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

The biggest white pill from covid is that there are now 5 million+ homeschoolers in the US. 5 *million.* People pulled their kids out of school, realized the system sucked, and never sent them back. The public school system may very well be the largest covid casualty.

Agreed! Many KaiPod parents are using Time4Learning as their children’s core or supplementary curriculum! We’re big fans!

Most microschools are a fraction of the cost of traditional private schools. The average annual tuition for hybrid homeschools is about $5K. @KaiPodCo is expanding its program at only $25/day in some locations. As more free-market learning models emerge, costs decrease.

Another remarkable example of tool use in ants: fire ants “paving” sticky surfaces. I’ve seen signs of this behavior, but I didn’t expect it to be so robust until my friend told me about it (Wang et al., 2021 Insect Science).

Stunning bicycle from Cucho Hernández to create an equalizer out of nothing. Can’t do much about that. We go again! #WATARS #COYG #MyPLMorning

Had I been their school teacher, I would have told him not to talk to my students that way.

If @GovRonDeSantis talked to my child that way, I would have cussed him clean out in front of everybody. What a punk ass move to get loud with kids who aren’t in a position to tell you to fuck off.
Ron DeSantis just yelled at students for wearing masks. This is not a leader. This is a bully. A petulant child. Shameful.

Anyone use a word wall? I am contemplating creating one for those vocab heavy units. I also go by the thought of ABC-CBV -> Activity Before Content- Concept Before Vocabulary. Maybe Ss will try to decode the words on the wall as we do investigations?

Puns are a way to help kids grow vocabulary skills through playful word meanings! What are some of your favorite #puns?

In Kansas small towns, the houses are cheap, with quality homes going for $100k and fixer-uppers costing far less. Land, a commodity over which NIMBY battles rage throughout the country, can actually be obtained for *free* in several counties.⁠ thehustle.co/would-you-take-…
