I teach AP Micro, AP Macro, and On-level Econ. My tweets and retweets do not represent the school corporation for which I teach. They are mine!

20 years ago I almost failed out of IU. Tonight I am graduating from the University of Delaware with a Masters degree and a 4.0 GPA. Failure isn't final or permanent.

Good thing Indiana decided to remove Econ as a required class for graduation...
Lauren Boebert is asked to define “inflation.” It does not go well.

Oh look, a Patriots QB is carried by his defense and running game and makes 1 or 2 plays to get to the Super Bowl. Same old story.

Media reactions after tonight's game: Illinois wins - What a great road win against a tough team! IU wins - Big deal, they were overrated anyway. Go Hoosiers!

The receiver that was picked in the top 10 has to make those last 2 catches.

Just an FYI, if the economy is booming there's no reason to cut rates.
Here’s the truth: Jerome Powell is a MENACE TO OUR COUNTRY. The economy is booming, yet his REFUSAL to drop rates confirms he is nothing more than a political HACK. Powell must go. FJP

Behaviour in schools is the single biggest barrier to learning. A few years back @ianwhite21 produced an excellent thread on reframing positive behaviour with 20 ways to help manage behaviour in the classroom. I did 4 one pagers to highlight how good these methodologies are. They are available for download from my shared drive.

Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.

Why do people keep calling us fascist???
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Tonight’s secret screening across roughly all theater chains was JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH, and I had a damn good time. Plays like Spielberg greatest hits (JAWS, INDY, JURASSIC PARK, LOST WORLD), but plants its own flag. Very suspenseful, solid characters. Exciting summer movie!
