William Shatner was the third oldest cast member, behind only Kelley and Doohan (and of course just four days older than Nimoy). Takei is the youngest, even though Koenig was cast in season 2 as the new young thing.

It was well-reported but nothing "must read" about it and lord knows all the YASS QUEEN bullshit about this story is silly.

Must read from SF Chronicle on the war on accelerated math in Palo Alto and how it's playing out in school board race. Brian Conrad spot-on again. archive.ph/S2bqp#selection-1…

Anyone who says “everyone can learn everything” should be forced to learn quantum theory and then teach it a random selection of people until they can pass a test on it with no errors.

It’s not that people are all the same, it’s that with enough time and resources everyone can learn everything. Thats what makes us human, the ability to learn. Yes, some people learn things faster but anything (cognitive) achieved by one human being is achievable by another

It's funny, Koenig was brought on as the "young new recruit" but he's older than Takei.

Walter Koenig has passed away. Everyone got to show their comedy chops in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Chekov asking for directions to the "Nuclear Wessels" and the interrogation scene are real highlights. Koenig often cited The Voyage Home as his favourite Trek film.

This is decent if you are teaching k-3 and not good enough to need really stupid rules.

Pupil behaviour is essential. The tiny things teachers do to make sure behaviour is good are so important to get right. Here are 10 things I’m currently thinking about and using in all of my lessons. 🧵

This is the 1st graph of a news story? "Over the last five years, law enforcement officers have tackled, struck, grabbed, pepper-sprayed and handcuffed Omaha-area students on school property, according to records reviewed by the Flatwater Free Press." What does it mean?

Look, inquiry/discovery, the good kind, is really really hard. Standard unbranded di is fine.
Matthew Burns@burnsmk1Oct 25
Does direct instruction work? Some claimed Stockard et al. (2018) meta-analysis didn't compare DI to inquiry-based teaching for math. We reanalyzed the data. DI was significantly MORE effective than inquiry-based (d = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.49 to 0.70). @CECMembership @NCTM @ehanford

Strip Mall Chinese places can turn a profit with real ingredients but only because they shame their family into working for free.

I don't believe that anyone is actually "taller" than anyone else. I think that anyone can get their legs extended.

I don’t believe that anyone is actually “smarter” than anyone else. I think that everything on an IQ test is a skill that can be honed.

There's a kind of math teaching that is so obsessed with procedures, it basically turns into discovery learning but for concepts: "You'll figure out the concepts on your own later when you have the procedures by heart."

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.
Screenshot of a very long Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), shrunk into a thin strip in the center of a gray card. The text reads: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He’s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement — But that’s all gone. It’s not “HOT” anymore! Maher’s friend and business associate, Chuck LaBella, was also a friend of mine, worked on The Top Hit Show, The Apprentice, as a “gofer” and, because of the success of that show, Number One and Top Rated on many weeks, with the Finale’ being among the Top Shows of the Year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through the Ranks of NBC, along with everyone else associated with that Historic “Happening.” The Success of the Apprentice was so great that everyone partook — It built many careers, and that is a wonderful thing.

I do not engage in "default explicit teaching". Nor do I do direct instruction because it's easy. I generally start with some form of inquiry or discovery and move to direct instruction. While I agree with @mpershan generally, I don't think teachers default to "default explicit teaching" because it's easy, but because it works, because most math teachers are giving brief instruction to a class the majority of whom are motivated and able. It's only when most of your kids are *not* motivated and able but some of them are that you need to do something else. xitter.cf/greg_ashman/status/211…

Also they don't give you the middle option, which is what I use. So I don't save any money anyway.
