The glaring mistakes in Jo Boaler's new book "Math-ish" reveal her unsolid and erroneous conceptual understanding of fractions and simple multiplication. If anything, the mistakes suggest weak procedural fluency and vague conceptual understanding reinforce each other.
Actually we don’t, because there’s no upside. Grading reform has solved zero real problems, while creating many new problems.
A teacher's job isn't to get students to love history, science, lit, or whatever else A teacher's job is simply to teach the curriculum well (And if they simply teach well, more students will end up loving the content than if they try to foster a "love" of it)
Education schools train teachers to meet imaginary students in imaginary classrooms where their imaginary methods work like a charm. Then a teacher gets to the real classroom with real students, and the "best practices" fail them in ways that continue to shock for years. It…
✨ 🚨 New Episode DROPS TOMORROW 🚨 ✨ My guest is a mathematician who became Minister of Education and raised Portugal’s PISA & TIMSS results. What was the formula? Don’t miss my conversation with Nuno Crato!

Universities have marketed themselves less as academic institutions and more as lifestyle brands. They’ve de-emphasized rigor, standardized tests, and intellectual discomfort in favor of “community,” “fit,” & “experience” Students now expect constant validation, emotional…
These Harvard students…did not react well to the report on grade inflation: “The whole entire day, I was crying. I skipped classes on Monday, and I was just sobbing in bed because I felt like I try so hard in my classes, and my grades aren’t even the best. It just felt…
Much of the concerns about AI in schools pertains to students using it as a shortcut to doing original work. But the risk to teachers is equally worrisome. My latest at "The Next 30 Years" Substack. thenext30years.substack.com/p/the-illusion…

American education, folks.
I’ve told the story of a colleague at a struggling school who said “reading and math are important, but I teach the whole child.” She was granting herself permission to fail at her primary responsibility and still see herself as a good teacher.
If your students don’t do as well in reading, writing and mathematics as students from similar backgrounds elsewhere and you claim this is because you focus on wellbeing or ‘the whole child’ then you are telling yourself a comforting lie.
Did you know the University of California system still bans even the optional submission of your SAT/ACT scores for college admissions? UC schools have been test-free since 2021 even though almost every other top tier school has rolled back its test-optional policy. Deranged
Not over in California. All University of California campuses still *prohibit* all applicants from submitting standardized test scores. A decision of the politically appointed board that runs the UC in 2020 over the objection of its academic senate.
I’m really starting to think that fixing education for boys isn’t that complicated: 1) Don’t treat boyhood like a deficiency 2) Toss the feelings-first claptrap (e.g. math therapy) into a dumpster fire 3) Make academics much more difficult & challenging 4) Ease up on recess…

When everything is “trauma” nothing is.
Or…hear me out…we could simply teach kids their basic math facts until they’re fluent.
Do parents know that this is the nonsense that teachers are being fed at teachers’ conferences? There is absolutely no way any district should be spending money on programs that promote such obvious snake oil. Great way to ensure kids DON’T succeed in math. ⬇️
Today in things every teacher, administrator, superintendent, and education policymaker should know.
Critical thinking is not a matter of teaching critical thinking. It is domain specific, knowledge dependent and reliant upon transfer that doesn't take too much of a leap from one context to another. I cannot think critically as a mechanic one minute, and a doctor the next.
Here's @C_Hendrick talking about the engagement illusion in the latest episode of Chalk & Talk. Engagement does not imply learning! Link to episode below ⬇️
Knowledge rich curricula, explicit instruction, retrieval practice, checks for understanding, high behaviour, expectations cost much less than an iPad or chrome book for every child and are far more effective.
It's worth noting that Mississippi made massive improvements in the lowest-performing groups with one of the smallest per-pupil expenditures in the nation.
This video on productive struggle from @burnsmk1 is a must watch! "It is inaccurate to look at this data and say productive struggle was effective for students in 2nd -5th grade. It wasn’t even reliably effective for 6th to 10th graders" @greg_ashman youtu.be/44pPwSBo7jg?si…
