Google Gemini output: Educational policy is one of the best areas for "historical debugging" because we’ve been trying to solve the same problem for centuries: How do we prepare the next generation for a world that doesn't exist yet? By looking at the past, we can see which "revolutionary" ideas actually worked and which were just expensive trends. Here are three major ways history informs modern schooling: 1. The "Factory Model" vs. The Future Most modern schools are still based on the Prussian Model of the 18th and 19th centuries. It was designed to create obedient citizens and disciplined factory workers who could follow a bell schedule. The Lesson: If our goal today is to foster creativity and tech-literacy, history shows us that using a system designed for the Industrial Revolution is like trying to run modern software on a steam engine. We can look at the Montessori or Progressive Education movements of the early 20th century to see how they tried to break this mold.

The Clemson women's basketball coach is wearing one of these hoodie sport coat things and I think they should be banned from society.

It is a little hard to reconcile "We are not at war" with "We have been at war with Iran for 47 years."

I'm imagining a scenario where the federal government sends everyone a check as some kind of tariff "refund" and this becomes a big boost for the GOP in the midterms because people love getting money and don't really care where it comes from.

Yup. As a Virginia resident (and an education person), I don't like it one bit.

Will do, and if you ever have any GI issues, he's a good GI doc 😀

I seem to have accidentally switched the setting to Portuguese. It's too easy to do. LOL.

We were on line at a sandwich bar in a campus eatery. The bin for the tuna was empty and he asked me if I thought they would be bringing out more tuna. I think I said something brilliant like "I hope so!"

He can now spend more time with Kristi Noem's family.
