For those lamenting the possibility of no SEC teams in the playoffs: SEC teams are 4-6 against vs. ACC teams in 2023 and 7-9 vs. all Power 5 conf. teams. SEC is not dominant this year. Hence 1-loss Ala. and Ga. are not better than undefeated FSU, Mich. and Wash. nor 1-loss Texas.

Sign App State and North Carolina on for the next decade. I don’t care what anyone on either side thinks.
You’d be selling college football short otherwise. – at Seneca, SC

Today, Boston and NYC will be served by 100 more flights than trains despite being 215 miles apart. It's clear that America should have fast and frequent train service between cities under 500 miles, full stop.

A Melee Monday Thread. The classic depiction of eighteenth-century warfare is troops marching into close range, firing a few volleys, and charging with bayonets. How frequent was melee (hand to hand) combat in this era? TL;DR, troops didn't fight in hand to hand very often. 1/28

(Almost) nothing like ending the first week of a new semester on a high note. English 4 class totally engaged AND student says re: my Anglo-Saxon poetry activity:
"Not gonna lie, KD-- that was actually kinda fun."

The GREAT ABANDONMENT of the Church is caused more by its response to:
1. Donald Trump
2. George Floyd, BLM, and CRT
3. COVID
than it is
1. Deconstruction
2. Rejection of Jesus
3. The chance to sleep in
They had to leave the Church to keep their faith.

Yesterday a parent called me with safety concerns. She was clear and kind. Direct and constructive. I was so grateful for the honesty and even more grateful for the approach. She treated me like I was on her team, because I am. We need more of this in education.

It's Black girls with magical flaming sword szn. Let's celebrate with a full jacket reveal!
Also, a big thank you to @LBardugo for the brand new, AMAZING blurb! 😍 Happy #Novembree, y'all!
ALT The full jacket of BLOODMARKED, book two in the Legendborn Cycle. The background is red and blue swirls of magic against a forest. On the left, a headshot of Tracy Deonn, a Black woman with locs and glasses, with her bio. On the back cover, a list of accolades and blurbs with a tagline ("Will she become the Legend or break it?") at the top. The cover image is a young Black girl wielding a magic, red-flaming sword and a young white man holding a blue and silver magic spear, with swirls of blue surrounding it. On the right jacket flap is a summary of the book, beginning with the tagline: The shadows have risen, and the line is law.

Lot of write ups of new text results today, the first that gives apples to apples comparison nationwide. They show steep drops in reading and especially math over the pandemic. But most write ups - I’m looking especially at you Axios - leave one point mostly unmentioned.
U.S. math scores saw their largest decreases ever and reading scores dropped to 1992 levels in the first post-pandemic National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the “nation’s report card.” apne.ws/fUZQ9dT

After two of my GED students were gunned down, I decided to run for mayor to stop the violence.
Once I became Mayor, I succeeded. Our town went 5 ½ years without the loss of life through gun violence.
Remind me, what has Dr. Oz ever done to keep our communities safe??
