I rarely go on this site anymore but I just had to jump into this well-earned celebration! Emily Hanford’s transformational reporting profoundly changed the trajectories for so many children and I am so grateful!

This is such a beautiful piece about parental love by David Sheff . President Biden’s compassionate response to his son’s challenges capture him at his finest.

“Come on now, we just need to quit with the ‘kids don’t need to have [math facts] memorized.’ You’re hurting kids. And the proof’s in the pudding.” Brian Poncy in this excellent episode on the research. open.spotify.com/episode/0Aj8V8…

This is one of the most illuminating talks about reading and dyslexia I have ever heard. I can't recommend it enough to anyone interested in brain science and reading. Thank you Stanislas Dehaene @standehaene.bsky.social Planet Word Museum and Emily Hanford

High quality journalism has an established history in providing voice to lived experience and spearheading better public policy. Kudos to Emily Hanford for all the children’s lives she’s improved and to the Ben Carroll’s of the world for listening with open minds 🚀

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

It’s hard to consider someone who so out of step with #dyslexia research and best practices a “Prominent Literacy Expert”. His language, lack of knowledge & professionalism actually make him a more of a literacy saboteur. #saydyslexia edweek.org/teaching-learn…

The root of the literacy breakdown: “Lacking adequate professional training from schools of education, they are dependent on charismatic self-appointed authorities such as Calkins” Mark Seidenberg 🎯 The Calkins Legacy seidenbergreading.net/2024/11/21/cal…

Lucy Calkins has long been dismissive of questions about what strategies her program included to support struggling readers. I witnessed her explain to a church full of ~1000 reading teachers that "#Dyslexia was over diagnosed". No special strategies needed. That's all we got.

Thank you for your exemplary diplomatic service, Madame Ambassador Ambassadeur des États-Unis en France et à Monaco. ! You served both France and The United States brilliantly. You will be missed in this role! 🇫🇷🇺🇸

A Cali petition is live on Change.org, calling on Atty Gen Rob Bonta to file an amicus brief and publicly affirm CA’s commitment to protecting disability rights (504)... Read/Sign/Share. 🔗 California Petition to Protect Disability Rights: change.org/p/protect-disa…

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

WATCH: “We had the worst reading scores for eighth graders in thirty years and nobody—not a governor, not a mayor, not a president, not a secretary of education—has talked about it.” Rahm Emanuel via Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher

Wow, wow, wow.

“We are all afraid,” Murkowski said, taking a long pause. “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not

Amer. Meteorological Soc. (American Meteorological Society) just issued a (fully justified) dire statement regarding rapidly accelerating & potentially disastrous efforts to decimate weather & climate enterprise in U.S. If implemented, this would cost many lives & cause major/ long-term economic harm.

Let these Sen Murkowski words sink in. SHE IS "AFRAID" > and if you are not, you probably should be.
