My family moved to the US when I was 8, but by the time I turned 20, my dad was still on an H1B (waiting to get processed for a green card). Once I turned 21, I would age out as his dependent, despite the fact that I basically grew up in the US. I thought I'd have to become a

One way negativity bias in the news presents itself is the idea that, when things change, it’s the media’s job to focus on how that change is bad. Headline by headline, this emphasis on the dark side of progress cashes out as the sense that everything is always getting worse.

Heavy screen use might create a vicious cycle for young kids. New data: the more time 3.5-year-olds spent on tablets, the more angry outbursts they had at age 4.5... and the more they used tablets at 5.5. Digital soothing is not a substitute for teaching emotion regulation.

Homework helps if you do the homework. Doing it improved final test grades for 86% of students in 2008, but only 45% in 2017. Why? The internet let people copy instead. When students use AI to “help” with homework, they will benefit if it explains but not if it does the work.

Two reasons why teaching is harder than surgery: 1️⃣ Surgeons can work without the patients' cooperation. The patient is likely sleeping! 2️⃣ Surgeons can do their job successfully without the relationship-building required for teaching.

sorry for getting all partisan but i think a presidential ticket inspiring its followers to terrorize elementary schools should be disqualifying

Vance is mad that he just got factchecked by moderator Margaret Brennan over the legality of Haitian migrants in Springfield. Think about the world we live in - where Republicans openly get MAD at the prospect of FACTCHECKING. Tells you everything.

You can’t only help those in need if they voted for you. It’s the most basic part of being president, and this guy knows nothing about it.

This catches a lot of people off guard with SBG—parents actually really like and understand traditional grades. No, they don’t contain a ton of information, but its meaning is clear. They don’t want the detail standards-based report cards provide, because it’s not actionable.
