Or we could teach them history.

What if we taught our students that it’s a good thing to produce wealth instead of villainizing the wealthy?

1) #DataCenter proposed by OLeary in Utah is 40,000 acres in size. That’s 62.5 square miles. I don’t think people quite understand that. 2) This is Utah. Where’s that water coming from? Even if it’s recycled, there will be massive evaporation problems. @CNN @CNNOpinion

Just Utahns understand, Salt Lake City is only 110 square miles. O’Leary’s Folly is more than half the area of SLC. Still think that’s a good idea?

"We can afford this $4.5M ski house that we'll use 6 weeks out of the year, but you'd better not tax us on our pied-a-terre we'll take our money elsewhere." - billionaire complaining about #NYC @mamdani, probably. #TaxTheyCanAfford
https://mountaintimes.info/2026/05/13/killington-home-sale-sets-new-record-at-4-3-million/ A slopeside home on Trailview Drive has set a new record for residential real estate in Killington, selling for $4.3 million and becoming the first single-family home in the town to surpass the $4 million mark. The sale closed April 13 and eclipsed the previous Killington single-family home record of $3.751 million, according to Killington Pico Realty broker and owner Kyle Kershner, who listed the property. The buyer was represented by Kaitylyn Hummel of Prestige Real Estate. Known as Moguls 5, the five-bedroom, five-bath ski-in/ski-out residence sits directly on the Homestretch Ski Trail and was built by noted builder Rick Moore. The 4,827-square-foot timber frame home features a blend of natural materials and high-end finishes, including granite accent walls, reclaimed barnboard, white oak flooring, and exposed timber trusses.

Vermont is CT-9, 1 Unlabeled, New Hampshire is 6 Unlabeled, CT-5; MA-3,4; & NH-1 Massachusetts is MA-4,7,8,9; RI-1,2; CT-4,4,3 Rhode Island is CT-3 and Connecticut is CT-3,4; 5 unlabeled. Conclusions: You shouldn't let your pet dog draw your maps. Your argument is a joke.

Maybe a Catholic nun swatted Trumps hands with a ruler for lousy handwriting and for talking back.

Nobody takes out “tens of thousands in loans per year to work entry level jobs”

Replying to @Principal_Jon
Kids who take tests, get grades, and are monitored by the government can't read or do math proficiently and take out tens of thousands in loans per year to work entry level no-skill jobs, many while having horrific home lives. I can't think of a single reason to introduce the government into homeschooling.

Whole chicken uncooked, $1.49/lb, 5lbs = $7.45 Rotisserie chicken, $2.13/lb, 3.75 lbs = $7.99 Why is one ok for #SNAP #benefits, but the other isn't?

CONSISTENCY is a new #Geometry review game for Geometry students. Each player lays down a card that is consistent with the previously played cards. You can find rules and card sets at the google drive link. #iteachmath drive.google.com/drive/folde…
Center cards: Area is less than 70 The shape is a pentagon. Player on the left has played "The shape is regular" The next player must choose between The measures of all interior angles are integers Adjacent angles add to 180 Angle Bisectors pass through the opposite vertex. Exterior angles are 30

Donald Trump wanted a commemorative stamp with his face on it but the focus group said 65% of Americans would spit on the front side and the other 35% would lick the backside.

Is it any wonder that the Math/Science magnet school does better than the nearby public school … the one that would have had those very students in their AP classes, being taught by the teachers that the magnet school hired away?

That second paragraph describes so many principals and admin who succumb to the “Workshop Effect”. 1. Attend workshop 2. Find Shiny New Thing 3. Initiate reform at school 4. Go to line 1.

You cannot teach critical thinking. You can teach domain specific expertise, which enables you to think critically about that domain. Brilliant chess players do not make great military commanders. More problematically, people who think they have great critical thinking skills are often the ones who get hoodwinked by any fashionable idea, because they lack the domain expertise to interrogate nonsense.
