…. I can’t get images from the media library here. They get cropped so an otherwise useful image looks like this: Maybe it’s the days off but I’ve been pondering just how extremely dependent I am on outside time structures, arbitrary measuresand people preferences for guiding what I do from moment to moment, including Duolingo […]

Sorry, I *don’t* think the answer to that is to keep giving people calculators and … the data says I’m right, too. But hey, they have an IEP!!!! And they’re angry now, at the school that was supposed to be giving them the help they needed. Small town. So they already are working at the […]

It’s going to take a lot more and […]

…. deer guts on a doorknob, my brother used to say. I found the 2021 “lots of infographics, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!!!” sales blurb for corequisites. So “We’ve Got Numerical Outcomes, Now What?” has some AWESOME statistics … without references … DETAILS!!! (The references go to an article about how to get data and … The […]
