When I was a new teacher I observed that anyone who stayed in the profession after 10 years was some kind of crazy.
I’m in my 20th year, so I guess that makes me double crazy.
Yeah, but I also can still sing the jingle for “skip it”, so I dunno what to think.

In education, Bill Gates and the like may have been ill served by schools. I can imagine they had teachers that got in the way of their education. But the answer is not replace teachers with AI, it’s train teachers better. When students have a real human connection with their teacher, magic happens

I stopped Facebook maybe a year ago, and one of the few things I felt bad about leaving were a few of the CS Ed groups.

Each time I hear you tell this story I feel more empathy for you, but also I think it becomes one step closer to becoming one of my mortifications. And I didn’t even get a sandwich out of it!

One of my students recently told me that geometry dash is Turing complete.
