@ColinStarger @JusticeCodes Of all the crazy things I’ve compared myself to, TurboTax has certainly not been one of them.
Although the UX on it is really good.

@anthonydpaul @wasbuxton One of my favorite talks was watching @wasbuxton discuss synthesizing vs sampling and how we can prototype better.

@paulmgardner My gut says someone would have to try to do it. I don’t think it could accidentally happen at this point in time.

When did we take all the fun out of being a kid (reduced recess, increased homework, self-worth tied to activities)?
Reading A Wrinkle in Time makes me wonder why Meg and Charles Wallace had so much time to save the universe and weren’t on a travel team.

@joenatoli I do think the science teacher is good. But the curriculum based optics vs substance is making me rethink my commitment to public schools in Baltimore.

In conclusion, science is about asking questions and figuring how to answer them. Poorly constructed experiments without context that make people feel like they’re doing science (similar to 3D printers in schools) are not helping the next gen of researchers.

@bennytheshap That’s probably why I’m so angry about it. It’s like someone at the district office read the abstract of Kitchen Chem and made this assignment.

This is the official city curriculum. Perhaps it started as the good stuff and just got watered down by the time it was put on a worksheet. But part of me feels we have people designing curriculum who are more interested in looking like it is good learning than actual learning.

This wasn’t science and it wasn’t even the life-relevant learning that .@jasoncyip and .@TammyUMD talk about. It was 100% busy work to make the kids feel like they were doing science when they weren’t. It was essentially, academic theater.
