Ohio State is the latest domino to fall. Notice how it's the schools that conduct in-depth studies on the impacts of test-optional policies on student success that are the ones who return to requiring a test score? The schools who remain test-optional make sweeping, grandiose statements, but never have any data to back up said statements. Imagine that. #SAT #ACT #SATPrepTeacher #Attest dispatch.com/story/news/educ…

Original command: "Show a bald eagle asleep at a student desk." Follow-up: "Put the eagle in comfortable pajamas" Um... 😮🤣 #grok3 #grok x.com/i/grok/share/lWCkBVQcu…

OpenAI's image generation is sooo painfully slow. Grok is much, much faster. #Grok #OpenAi

The smarter students have already learned to have AI write, say, the essay, put it into an AI checker, take the results from the AI checker and put that info back into the original AI creator requesting updates to avoid detection, and so on until the checkers can't detect it.

Applying to multiple colleges is a great way to assess scholarship offers from multiple schools (same reason you should get at least 3 quotes on a car or HVAC system), but we do agree that 60 is ridiculous... other students are not receiving offers at their 1st choice schools because this student applied with little intent to attend most of them.

Well, duh... you have IEPs and 504s to thank for that. When you give extended time and other accommodations on tests and assignments, then everyone will want in on the action. Like many things in life, the accommodations are necessary for some, but many others will take advantage once they exist. #Education #School #IEP #ADHD

The decision ultimately won't come down to what is the most instructionally-sound decision or what's best for the child; rather, it will be a matter of if it works better with parents' work schedules. Remember 2020 when we learned that schools are daycares where education takes place? Yeah. #Education #School

Heck, even at the school level, once the classroom door shuts, it's all up to you, the teacher.

Wait… you mean to tell me that giving students a math test better demonstrates their math abilities than looking at grades from math classes in which the criteria for the grades greatly varies from class to class???

EduTwitter is basically a bunch of luddites, huh? #education #teacher #teachertwitter #Tech #school

We bet his typing is nice and legible.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! <...us trying to remember the last time we handwrote anything...> 🤷‍♂️

He’s such an attention hog (well, snake). #SATPrepTeacher #Attest #SAT #ACT #TestPrep #SATTestPrep #Snake #BallPython

Not as troubling as one may think: reading tests haven't really evolved in decades (well, as much as they should have), so many of these tests are measuring how a student reads literature. Functionally, many students have a high rate of literacy: they fluently read information online, captions on videos, emails, text messages, etc. If we used the same reading tests that were used 400 years ago, then everyone would panic that Shakespeare literacy rates are now so low. But does that mean society is doomed? Hardly. #Education #Reading #ELA #Teacher #KeepCalm #Literacy

Every educator can give their purpose in being at a school, but the problem is that the purpose often lacks the focus that Terry references here. Goals should be measurable, so when a teacher says that they are there "to educate," then that explanation falls short. Instead, a statement like, "By the end of the year, every one of my students will increase their reading ability by 2 grade levels" is a much better. Concrete goals lead to concrete action.

THIS!!!!!

Amen. Banning AI tools completely is a disservice to students: AI tools are quickly becoming essential to performing many tasks efficiently, and not allowing students to learn to effectively use them is setting them up for failure. Embrace them; don't be a luddite.

Saying the quiet part out loud here. #SAT #SATtest #ACT #ACTtest #ADHD #Attest #SATPrepTeacher

Solid move: there's a world of research that shows peppermint's positive impact on neuro-functioning. #education
