A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
I wrote an attack on Warren Buffett's foray into the newspaper business. Nothing personal.. I just wanted to make the point that the people in charge of our newspapers don't even know how to help themselves, never mind help the public.
Warren Buffett could've used newspapers to encourage literacy, to encourage school subjects generally. The more informed readers you have, the more newspapers you can sell. I don't believe he ever thought of this angle.
Instead, he just let everybody get more illiterate and more ignorant.
Please, is anybody out there who would like to use newspapers to help Americans academically and educationally? A lot of interesting stuff can be woven into a newspaper. Instead we have millions of people who don't even know where Russia is. We have millions of people don't know what 6×7 is.
Why do our newspapers have to follow the schools themselves? No, they should supplement and supplant the schools, which are asymptotically approaching zero value. (For example: https://drop.space/watch/your-brain-on-public-schools-dumb-people-a...)

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.
