Education is fond of fads: If it feels good, fund it
Yeah, pretty much. According to several teachers I work with who have been doing this for quite a while, many of those fads cycle around and come back, sometimes slightly repackaged, sometimes less so. More in terms of processes and expectations teachers see and are told to do.

The 1.2 million square feet warehouse has been flattened, and 20 other workers' jobs were also incinerated. Brilliant!

There was a great example of the male version of a disgruntled virtue-signaling mah-roon in action the other night. Whose self-absorbed protest movement imperiled the lives of his twenty fellow warehouse laborers and the 175 firefighters who had to respond to handle the results of his pyro tantrum.
29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim worked for the warehouse contracting company NFI Industries, which is a third-party logistics provider for paper goods giant Kimberly-Clark. Abdulkarim was employed at the company's massive distribution center in Ontario, California. The volume of goods handled there is simply staggering, as the 1.2M sqft 'tissue paper' facility contains enough product to handle the needs of 50 million people.
In his own words posted to social media, it appears Mr. Abdulkarim was unimpressed with both his working conditions and what he got paid to be there.
So he decided he would stage a fiery protest during work hours - in a paper goods warehouse - ranting about his poor, sucky life as he proceeded to light off reams of toilet paper.
The 1.2 million square feet warehouse has been flattened, and 20 other workers' jobs were also incinerated. Brilliant!

"Old-fashioned" techniques like phonics, memorizing Math facts, and learning the "Kings-and-Battles" that are the framework that supports understanding of History is boring, OK? But bypassing these leaves students unequipped for more advanced interests and careers that need those basics. BTW, Jpanne Jacobs is NOT a conservative, she's a pragmatic old-style liberal.

Giving every student a laptop was supposed to transform education -- for the better. Now Chromebooks are back in the carts, and students are flashing mini-whiteboards or writing with pencils on pieces of paper.
Like 1:1 devices, "21st-century skills, trauma-informed pedagogy, flipped classrooms" were supposed to be the answer, writes Robert Pondiscio. Why is education so damned fad-prone?" Can't anyone remember that the last shiny thing failed to work? And the one before that?
Among other things, Pondiscio writes, change is how administrators show they're leaders. The new superintendent" announces a bold vision, rebrands existing efforts, and introduces a new set of priorities. Three years later, often before results are fully visible, that leader departs," and a new one comes in with bold new ideas. If the experiment is working, it's hard to sustain the success.
"Schools that improve often do so through unglamorous means: adopting a coherent curriculum, building teacher expertise, reinforcing consistent instructional routines, and maintaining focus over time," he writes. It's not flashy. And it is fragile.

I'll give you 3 guesses on what this loser "won."
Naw, I'll just tell you. We've just inherited another loser to pay for. He's been trying to get disability ...
