@chuck No worries. You're in good company. ;)

@karyl White Youtubers with fire and combustibles.

@cstanhope Yeah, I think that's the most dangerous attitude in education. It's exacerbated by the high cost of education and the desire for your education to map directly to your ability to pay for it.

@cstanhope I think it's in part that the USA thinks that schools should be run like a business and should make money like a business. This has lead to some really strange ideas of how to value education.

How we treat our teachers is a complete disgrace in this country.

We spend more time talking about how teachers build up our future but there is no future for teachers. We simply do not pay them enough to survive.

We've built a career where the first word out of any teacher to a prospective teacher on learning they want to become a teacher is "why?" followed by "why would you do that to yourself?"

At least they are keeping the links active, though for how long is a question. They say they will still work but Google has a weird definition of indefinite.

I didn't read the article but apparently Google is decommissioning the goo.gl service at some point.
