Yep - 5 days is saying something about the president and the administration, though it is telling us information we already knew.
Realize SNL wasn't even able to do a skit about her hire before she was fired.
Katie Zacharia getting fired after 5 days on the job is easy to laugh at.
But a president and an administration that would hire her in the first place should scare the hell out of you.

Florida gave families ~$8K/year in voucher money starting 2023. Private school tuition has gone up faster than inflation ever since. Coincidence? A CBS12 I-Team investigation says no, and so do we. 🧵
If you are going to ask students to read the textbook, you should at least read the literature behind the textbook. How many teaching the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology actually read what Crick wrote about it? You wouldn't be teaching DNA to RNA to protein if you did.

Knowing how to check in with your kids about their school work and how to use feedback to learn is a skill set. We don't teach parents how to do that. We also don't teach parents how to effectively communicate with schools. Yes sometimes you need to rock the boat.

How you rock the boat varies based on many factors. How I do it is likely not something everyone can do or would feel as comfortable doing as I am.

Looking at some of the discourse, us being able to drop the DFW rate from 15-16% to 10-11% in our intensive one-semester general chemistry course, especially for those with less prior opportunity & prep, is a negative. Good teaching should have an impact.

Oh JD, do we want to bring up sofas/couches and dolphins again?
ALT A grey dolphin sofa with the stand for the sofa designed to look like the crest of a blue way. Full rendering of the face and flippers along with the tail. There is a cut out in the middle with great cushions where people can sit. In the middle of that section in the back is where the dorsal fin comes up.

Dolly Parton helped fund Moderna's COVID vaccine research. The same technology just kept melanoma from coming back.
Officials cut $500M from mRNA vaccine work last year.

BREAKING:
The Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth after Charlie Kirk's killing. I fought back.
I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post.
They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. ✊🏾

This is very clear from Ghent University. And it's damning regarding Cofnas.

I was waiting to hear someone else from Bates respond to that piece and give a more rounded view. Here it is: tinyurl.com/2cfrm552
