Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this MIT professor deliver a brilliant masterclass on how to effectively present your ideas with clarity, impact, and purpose.
Just glad my students eventually got in to the system to test yesterday… it took 35 minutes to get in. I feel sorry for the students around the country that have to take the later exam. Paper and pencil never fail….

People talk about myths like learning styles a lot but this misguided belief is more damaging. Learning to read is arguably the most important skill we learn in our lives and opens up a universe of creativity for kids. They don't "grow into it" naturally, it's not magic. It's hard won through the diligence, expertise, care and infinite patience of teachers in a classroom day in, day out. Schools don't kill creativity, they lay the foundations for it.
Happy Veterans Day! A day to honor those who sacrifice(d) for us. A special shout-out to my favorite veteran, Ivan Parker (Vietnam).

The “newborn scrunch.”
Treasure this moment, Dad.
What you’re seeing here is a posture known as the “newborn scrunch” - legs and arms tucked in close to the chest. It mimics the fetal position most babies adopt during the final weeks in utero and provides them a sense of comfort and security after their arrival in this strange new world.
Newborns will often revert to this position as lifted. But if you’re a new parent, document it while you can, because it’s typically short lived - with the scrunch disappearing rapidly (often within weeks) as newborns develop growing comfort in their environments and with their bodies.
What a treat to see it captured.
