Fighting Back With Facts
Yes, we can reverse the dark tide in American education. Easily. Teach facts.
First, fully confront the nihilism you are up against. Some people want to pull the plug so that everything substantial drains out of the classroom. All facts, all knowledge, gone. The children will spend their time discussing problems in society, preparing portfolios, working on projects. Nothing these children say or think will mean very much because they won’t know any…

Learning from Lyddie
I recently read Lyddie, by Katherine Paterson and I couldn't put it down. Why?
1. Ms. Paterson followed the most important rule of writing by creating a character readers care
about. I liked Lyddie as a person, and was willing to stick through 200 pages with her to make
sure things turned out in her favor.
2. Ms. Paterson grabbed me with all of the sights, sounds and smells of the time period. I felt like I
was on a…

Excuses as an Art Form
Sure, you'll call me cynical. But the evidence is very clear-cut. Our Education Establishment is not good at very much except excuses.
A good excuse is an example of sophistry. I'm a big admirer of sophistry. Remember the brothers who killed their parents, and then petitioned the court for clemency. On what grounds? Because they were orphans! It doesn't get much better than that. And that's the world our Education Establishment lives in.
No matter how…

Blizzard Books and Movies
As the East Coast braces for a blizzard, I was thinking about some of my favorite wintry tales for young people. Of course, Snow Day comes to mind, as well as Little House in the Big Woods. The Twistrose Key is a 2013 release about a frozen realm. I just picked it up, so I don't know yet if it belongs in the same category as the first two.
Last February, as we braced for a blizzard, I wrote about my favorite winter movies. I've reposted it below if…

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.
