When I was a kid in the 80s, #Plano was notorious for huge, overcrowded schools, and they built to meet the population. Today, it seems that same population (or larger) no longer has kids. Makes me wonder if these are boomer still in same homes. Really curious about the #demographics (esp age/sex pyramids) for this area.

Interesting weekend read

lifelong learning for all.

How fish communicate.

Did you know? Some fish make a sound so loud it rivals a pneumatic drill.
And some use a series of hums and farts to communicate.

Does the really need to allow foreign schools to open branches in the country or own existing institutions? A lot of foreigners are coming here for better education. They wouldn't if our is as bad as supporters of the move paints it to be.

The way I see it, the problem is the half-baked education. It was only the first step. The next step is overhauling the entire curriculum, but they never did that.

Other things that we can do ourselves: (1) increase the pay for teachers; (2) standardised classroom rules like how the Koreans and Japanese do (abolish the autonomy of private schools); & (3) overhaul the curriculum.

I want to add: drop the “Senior High School” terminology; it's the source of all the confusion. We should change it to: Kinder (1); Elementary (6); Middle School (3); & High School (3) = .

To reach a greater diversity of students, University of Washington researchers taught high schoolers to code by combining cultural research into various embroidery traditions—such as Mexican, Arab and Japanese—with “computational embroidery.” The method lets users encode embroidery patterns on a computer through an language called in which they fit visual blocks together.

50 Year old Mystery Finally Solved.

Ever wonder how Baleen whales (Blues, Greys, Humpbacks), the largest
and some of the most magnificent animals to ever roam the earth,
produce their highly complex communication sounds and whale songs?

For half a century no one knew - until now.

Concerned ISD parents ask why their schools have to close
Rep. Ramos correctly calls out here. He appears to be on a mission to destroy public education in the name of “choice.” However, demographics don’t help. Cannot have schools operating at 60% capacity.

How do we teach our communities about being good digital citizens. Apparently, a new “digital citizenship and media literacy” bill was just introduced. @edutooters @donwatkins @philshapiro

It is that wonderful (not really) time of the school year when I spend basically 4 months doing standardized state testing.

As much as I would rather not have to proctor the tests, I feel very sorry for the students who have to waste valuable school time taking all these tests.

Great example of how helpful is: it just walked me through the math behind . I kind of, sort of understand the math better now.

It also came up with code to show each step of the math involved, for whichever two primes are input. It seems to work fine, without any tweaking or fixing.

Don't worry - I know enough to know not to try to roll my own anything. This is just for showing students how public key crypto works.
