Our public schools love dumb, as I will explain…

The Education Establishment has a funny prejudice. They don't like facts and knowledge, especially not for average kids in public schools. (That's why Charlotte Iserbyt wrote a famous book titled "The deliberate dumbing down of America.")

Our elite educators are clever at coming up with sophistries to justify teaching less and less. The big new sophistry goes like this: there are billions and billions of facts on the Internet, so why should children know even…

Why Sight-Word are parasites...

A short piece that shows the similarities between Sight-Words and kudzu.

Virtually all public schools use Sight-Words to some extent, thus guaranteeing that literacy will be slowed down. Frankly, I'm always trying to figure out quick ways to explain this to people who are more or less on the periphery.

Give me five minutes and I'll make you realize why we won't have…

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
