K-12: Getting Rid of the Good Stuff
A lot of things once thought crucial in K-12 classrooms are nowadays kicked out on the street.
The very essence of education, and you change this at your peril, is learning that certain people did certain things at certain times for certain reasons. Now, our Education Establishment can play games all day but as you get rid of various elements in that equation, you have lost History, for one example.
If you never teach children the name of a single country, you have stolen geography from them. You have not done them a favor. You have hurt them. Intellectual capital comes in many forms. One big one is knowing the name of the country you live in and the names of your neighbors.
This article is a meditation on things we need to keep.

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.
