The complete lack of plan or any form of intelligent take on this is from them is so frustrating/disappointing yet also entirely unsurprising

The use of energy constantly overlaps with caloric theory instead of a mental model that we can use to simplify/avoid descriptions.

There are so many basic observations with particle motion that never surface. Which is faster, water particles in the liquid state or air particles at the same temp?

I wish there were better agreement and discourse on some of those misconceptions.

To me it is wild that there isn't an outcry that you cannot describe a heterogeneous mixture as a solid/liquid/gas. Chocolate is not a solid, it's a suspension of multiple things. Even the correction misses it.

To me it reads as someone who went through a sub-par learning experience as a kid and is nostalgic about it. They avoid seeking good examples of constructivist teaching and fail to develop using an quality examples. The H2O component in particular unveils a lot to me.

That's a nice one, I got log-jammed with library holds but it's 3rd in my queue so I should be done with it this weekend or next week

A retort that I liked was "if you're going to cite the research, cite the research" meaning if you're going to claim research supports a claim, tell where specifically you found it and ideally the conditions of the experiment

meanwhile, several of us have great experience with teacher collaboration through previous trainings but we rarely utilize it. It feels like we end up with the worst of both worlds.

This is a huge source of frustration for me recently. The push for alignment has been so narrow and reductive, but I also want the benefits of collaboration, reflection, and feedback while learning with other teachers.

All our focus is on gathering data, but the data isn't informative.

The study cited can’t be extrapolated to the scale of the ocean. Thus article promotes greenwashing instead of informing.

Everything you’re saying is true, but my guess is that not incentivizing attendance probably causes more stress and harm. It varies for different students, but optional school is bonkers unhealthy for many.

What a team to hit a game-winning 3 against! Wisconsin is the worst.

When's the release date?

glyphosate is amazing for the environment and the health of farm workers, RFKj is terrible

additionally, I'm pretty sure titanium dioxide is used in all kinds of things and would be characterized as GRAS if it were in the right category

I'd say if we want braver legislators we need better media coverage. The slant and massive funding for conservative media causes so much damage for Dems that don't seek bipartisanship. Not sure how we get there though.
