My students who are poor writers are also poor thinkers. Many are smart, but their ideas are sporadic, unfocused, and weak. This is why students MUST learn how to write clear and focused arguments. Writing trains the mind to think clearly and rationally.

Everytime I get mad at my sports team for losing, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

"After a year of research, here are my (somewhat counterintuitive) conclusions: If we want a diverse workforce, we need more gifted education and more tracking." - @pegtyre My New Project — Peg Tyre pegtyre.com/my-new-project

While skirmishes between advocates of traditional gifted education and their opponents make headlines, millions of capable students still need to be challenged. Good news: a third way in advanced education is emerging. Read @pegtyre's report on it here: future-ed.org/excellence-wit…

After a year of study and reporting all over the country, my question is this: how did progressives, who had the right intentions, get it so wrong? And why is this argument stuck in the 1980s? @AASAHQ @FutureEdGU @hechingerreport

@FutureEdGU senior fellow @pegtyre makes a compelling case for replacing traditional gifted-and-talented programs with a new model of advanced programming that's both rigorous and inclusive. @AASAHQ @NSBAPublicEd future-ed.org/excellence-wit…

And I was thrilled to help @pegtyre even a little bit with her exploration of @MCPS' new approach to increasing equitable access to advanced education. Always love visiting schools in my backyard, and seeing the Humanities magnet program at Eastern Middle School was no exception.

Such a fun lunch with @JuliaBorcherts from @KayePublicity- so much insight! And Prague!
Kaye Publicity@KayePublicity9 Jun 2023
KP Publicity Manager @JuliaBorcherts met up with #KPCrew members Peter Blauner and @PegTyre for lunch while all were in Prague. Then, Peg and Peter left for a five-day bicycle ride to Dresden.

4/@herz -terrible experience. Shouldn't there be some regulatory body? Some fraud protection? Meanwhile, @enterprisecares --I'm coming back to you.

3/@herz 24 hours later, no replacement car. No charger. Oh, and I just checked my c-card and @herz charged me twice.

2/@herz offered me an EV. Exhausted, demoralized, I took it tho I need to x-country so --less than ideal. Now, turns out, no charger in trunk.

1/@herz -- paid for a car in advance. Arrived at Skyharbor and was told no cars. "wait for someone to turn one in." Thirty other customers lined up waiting in a dark garage, too. At 1 am on a Saturday night.

If you think you’re having a bad day at work, at least you’re not Harry Cole or James Heale, who wrote a book about Liz Truss’ rise to power that is not due to be released for 6 more weeks.
