How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
  • Depending on the curriculum, teachers don't have time to veer or customize things. It's, unfortunate, but there are companies selling proven curriculum guides to help kids, but the reality is that it is turning away teachers who actually teach (because following a pre designed plan sucks the fun out of it).

    It's tough, and I don't know the answer as a parent.

    Harris has big lead among early voters, polls show
  • I'm hopeful, but not as optimistic as you. Vote, get your friends to vote, and convince your friends to get their friends to vote.

    From the article: "Experts have warned against over-interpreting early polling data, as the subsamples of those who say they have already submitted their ballot have larger margins of error."

    Do you give out candy to kids without a costume on Halloween night?
  • I currently leave a bunch of candy on my front steps, most kids really only take 1-3, and I'm out with my kid, so whatever. We check on the camera a few times a night, and if it's empty, we reroute and refill it. This year, Capri Sun and chips have been a big hit.

    Which mythical deity / being would be the most enjoyable to snack upon?
  • A medium rare Phoenix might be interesting. Though you'd have to work really hard not to burn it, else you get a baby Phoenix.

    Many early generation Pokemon might be delicious. I don't want to eat any steel type Pokemon.

    Gauntlet dropped! Treknobabble Thursday it is!
  • Is that the terms and conditions for using the toilet?

    "We reserve all right to enforce arbitration for cases including but not limited to: being sucked into space when you flush, being sucked into space when you use the sink, and any other instances of being sucked into space. Transporter clones may occur if we are actively inverting the tachyon field, and the sink may back up when we are modulating the deflector array."

  • Had leftover taco fixings, so we made a taco pie this weekend. A bit of the pizza had crushed nachos (kid requested). Overall, a solid pizza.
