There's a kind of focus I learned to bring to Talmud study and later philosophy and math that is like a different register of attention. Honestly I haven't sustained it frequently out of school.

@mpershan The district thinks they bought a curriculum but what they bought was a textbook with bad PowerPoint slides. We tried to teach from those and the kids hated it and the district said we were moving too slow.
Hey I loved this by @misternagel, funny and thoughtful and sad.
OUT TODAY! In 2009, I published my first book, a collection of interviews with comedy writers called "And Here's the Kicker." 15 years later (that would be now) I'm republishing the book with plenty of new material and (as they say) a hot, fresh "look." tinyurl.com/3dwy6cwk
Ontological argument? More like the not-too-logical argument!
At least in my little Jewish community we're now losing the last old Jews who escaped from Europe during the Shoah. I don't feel good about this.

I feel this way about the quality of flow I learned from playing the piano.
This hangs in front of my face while I write my book. Full sensory, full feeling, full of facts verified by me being on the ground in cities, towns, villages, parks, markets & islands all over the world. I'm going to do this & it's going to be emotional + beautiful. Fuck yeah.
He’s talking about the new novel forthcoming from Michael Bible which is amazing. Got to read this piece by piece as it was coming along during lockdown and just after when the world opened up and martinis in sunlit bars re-existed
Nothing like telling a group of professional adults that you cried reading a book about a clairvoyant turtle. Sales presentations went very well 👍
My two best selling books are Motherfucking Sharks and Opioid, Indiana, so my next book will be called: Cuntfull of Cocaine And I’m gonna use AI to generate every single bit of it but the audiobook, which I will read myself, intensely sobbing in all the wrong spots.
@mpershan Unnecessarily hard even! Too much clutter, unclear instructions, etc.
@misternagel #Culdesad will be trending within the next hour!

Hey I loved this by @misternagel, funny and thoughtful and sad.
@mpershan I work in a school that uses the American reading company as their curriculum, and I have never seen a curriculum that is as teacher – unfriendly and student – unfriendly at the same time. The graphic organizers for the second grade curriculum are extremely complicated.
@mpershan For me it’s also because the district offers one worksheet/task per lesson and it’s for what they think is on grade level. We are expected to differentiate up and down to meet student needs but the district cannot or does not provide adapted work for unique learners
@mpershan If you said to me: "you have to teach _Macbeth_ this way with these lesson plans," I would be helpless (and entirely de-skilled).
@mpershan Even if it’s not “difficultly” per se, teachers are doing the last mile to adapt it to their students
Mark Haber absolutely rules. His collection Melville’s Beard is fantastic, too—hilarious, referential, scatalogical, unforgettable
Today's #WaferThinBook: Saint Sebastian's Abyss by Mark Haber (2022, 141p.) Every review I've read of this book focuses on its story of two art critics and their falling out over the title painting, which they consider the greatest-ever work of art and devote their lives to. 🧵
@mpershan At least 5% of the reason I make my own is bc I hate the fonts and/or graphic design of what came w our textbooks 😂😂😂 but I will say, they gave me decent bones to start with. (But at this point it’s all still from 2006 cuz our district hasn’t invested in my dept in that long)
I like the combination of BIG REASON with MIGHT BE. In any event, no, it's not why.
One big reason IB or AP math students do better than your average HS math student might simply be access to a well-structured curriculum.
@mpershan Right? The same thing, 180 days straight. Peppered with evacuation drills.
I've been given a lot of curricular materials over the years and only a minority were even *interpretable* "out of the box", let alone readily implementable. Either they hadn't been tested or they presupposed a ton of implicit teacher knowledge and/or external support.
@mpershan @maalmeida85 EdReports literally knocks points off its ratings for Algebra 2 curricula that have Algebra 1 review. Which is insane. (One of the criteria is, "The materials ... do not distract students with prerequisite or additional topics.")
