"This is a pessimistic. I guess you want to call it video essay, but it's an interesting one nonetheless."
"That's basically a key that shows, like, the larger categories. You have to pick two independent variables, two dependent variables. Have a dependent variable and create a research question from it. And you have to kind of link it in a way to the. To the, you want to call it guidebook and so on. I guess I have the access to the teacher's version of the course because when I print it out, I can s...
"That the way you kind of hone out, like what you need to focus on is by looking at a number of different examples and comparing them and as that process goes on, get a feel better feel for what's important and what's effective. And looking at somebody who is reading a resume, it is just interesting. So one of the things that stands out is one, a student who. Or a person who does not believe in t...
"But often when you do run into those jobs, even if you do find them, people don't treat them as like you would a lot of times as a regular teacher. They might be hourly without benefits often and whatever. So, but, and that's the thing, like teaching one math class or two or three math classes isn't really so interesting to me. And Then I don't really like grading papers so much."
"And they are always aware what they need to get done and when they have time to feel that. And so to me, when I'm hearing across the board that despite complaints, despite complaints, it's had this, this kind of effect where they are kind of on top of things at least. And I have to double check the digital systems a little different, but to see if our kids are late or anything."
"You know, I, I have a few times on this platform talked about this book, bifurcation of Markets. I read sometime between like 2004 and 2008 or something like that and how relevant it has stayed over the years. And this, this, this, I guess, kind of cartoonized, stylized YouTube. YouTube post kind of echoes that. It's, I think it's worth listening."
"Like I've said on this, I stood on here a number of times, but this has been over at least a year or so and you know, not everybody listens to every post. I really got into teaching partly in a way to education, in a way to manage childcare."
"Even if you have some negative or unpleasant notions about what you think may be going on. I think it is better to have a conversation and go back and forth than not. And I also say that as a teacher who I'm working on being not so defensive and my. My supervisor tells me I'm not like they say I have the perfect balance. But sometimes I just feel like. Like I think. I think."
"I guess you can say again. One of these posts I think is really a feeling looking for a point. It probably should have been a 30 second post and I'm looking for something to say surrounding it, but I don't know. This is the ultimate thing for me. And since I don't really post on social media outside as well, here's somewhere to post it. So that is the goal."
"It talks about the importance of interdisciplinary education, having teachers be more confident with teaching STEM not just as this abstract thing, but as in like the, like applying it to real world things the students can see right in front of them. It talks about the over reliance on screens, which I think people don't get with this, honestly with this AI stuff, but essentially it should be a ...
"He scored very high in reading but kind of dropped in his scores in the last year which still had him in like the 80 something percentiles. He was. He was in a 90 something percentiles in both math and reading. I think reading he was higher. Higher than math like the 98th or something like that. And I forgot like. Like what population they sample from or I don't really know to be honest if it's ...
"And it's interesting, some of the things they talk about I definitely see, have seen over the past few years. And I titled this the Bifurcation of My Child's in part the Bifurcation of everything. Because one thing they talk about is that scores in particular have been dropping in lower performing students. So the students who are already having the most difficulty are having the largest drops i...
"And how were, you know, the how, how were those studies designed, et cetera and like can, can, can you be confident that it could be reproduced with decent benefit in pretty much any classroom then create the instructional platform which I guess in my case might be actually like putting together the material is what you want to say. She goes, instructional delivery, instructional strategies."
"And, and it's not like I speak without, without like, considering what I say at all. But I think it feels like nothing to be able to speak into a mic or to speak into my phone on a platform that reaches a number who reaches a however many people has the potential to. And it is just really interesting to be, to, to not only be comfortable doing that, but it's almost like it's like nothing now. I ...
"I understand it, but I don't because I, I, I understand it because I see it enough around me, but it is just. I will buy brands, I don't care what brand I wear. I will buy brands for convenience sake and because I like them. But it is rare for me to either associate the brand with something about myself. Well, no, there are, there are some, there are some times that happens for sure. I don't kno...
"So I got this new student I'll be working with and they're taking this course called environmental chemistry. In part because my science background is only. Well, as an educator is only limited to last year in supporting students. And honestly chemistry was a little bit more difficult than bio to teach. I asked for the syllabus and because it's uniquely. I don't know what's in the class because ...
"I kind of knew this about myself prior to social media, I think, and even when I was on so. Because like, when you're on regular social media, I'm really not on it like that. Like Facebook I haven't been on for more than a. Well, more than a decade. Like, compliments can be fleeting and like they. They might or may not mean anything, but I think swell is a. The engagement feels a little more per...
"It's an investment through experience, and it's, it's. It's something I wish every teacher got to experience. Having said that, it's also interesting going through the different math classes. Now. One teacher that is working started off with a lot of different kids working on these paths based on worksheets, but I think it turned into a thing that slightly got away from the teacher, and the teac...
"I just, you know I came home and it sounds weird like who would do this on a Friday night But I'm reading through a pre calculus like a kind of AP workbook kind of thing. But I think the reason that."
