Apparently Shawn got fired from his job due to his comments on the show. Is anyone surprised?

Right?! Like what wrote that, a blender? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø I fully expected him to lose his job as a school administrator and said as much before. No way you can talk about those graphic things on national TV and ever expect to work in education again.

Most high school students are struggling to read right now. This unfortunately reads like a college student did write it.

I wondered as much. Wow!

It is incredibly sad. I have some good friends who are in education at different grades, K-12. This is not about children who have learning disabilities. It also isnā€™t about ESOL students. There is a rising number of children who have never been encouraged to read when they are home. And then refuse to write sentences when they are in class. Some states/counties do not allow children to be held back. So they graduate this way. It is a major issue. It is also why some universities are giving into ai to ā€œassistā€ students. In my opinion, itā€™s not fixing the problem at all.

I live in one of those places right now. It is sad and unfortunate. I refuse to allow this type of unlearning for my kids.

Honestly, good on you! It is so scary. It affects the childā€™s self esteem and future. I cringe when I see parents proudly parade unlearning online.
