I'm an archivist currently researching the original Letter People kindergarten and first-grade program. (1968-1996) I'm fascinated by its educational legacy and cultural impact, and I'm working to preserve it as much as possible. I also run a digital archive and YouTube channel where I share my findings with the public. (Hyperlinks contain teaching materials)
If you have any personal experiences, old materials (like cassettes, VHS's, books, classroom kits, etc.), or know of anyone who was involved with the program--whether as a student or teacher--I’d love to hear from you. Any leads would be incredibly helpful to this project. Thanks.
Something I've noticed after a few years of teaching: the kids who ace my class aren't always the ones who get the material. They're just really good at doing exactly what's asked, on time, formatted correctly.
Meanwhile some of my strongest thinkers tank their grade because they turned something in late or skipped a formatting requirement, even though they clearly understood the content better than half the class.
Started separating "did you understand this" from "did you follow the process" in my own grading last semester. Revisions allowed, less weight on deadlines, more weight on whether they could actually explain or apply the concept. Mixed results honestly, some of it just meant more work for me without much payoff.
Anyone else run into this gap between what grades measure and what students actually know? Would be interested to hear if anyone found a system that held up outside a small experiment.
Was it student behavior, unrealistic expectations, lack of administrative support, constant new initiatives, parent interactions, workload, or something else?
I'm researching an upcoming podcast episode about teacher burnout and would love to hear your experiences. I'm especially interested in the moment you realized something had changed—not just what burned you out, but when you knew it.
There's been a lot of conversation lately about students using AI for homework and assignments, but I keep wondering if we're focusing too much on the tool itself and not enough on what's driving students toward it in the first place.
When I think back to struggling through a tough subject, the temptation was always to find the path of least resistance. Copying from a friend, finding a shortcut online, whatever worked. AI just makes that easier and faster. But the underlying issue, students feeling overwhelmed or disengaged, was always there.
My question for this community is whether teachers and educators are seeing a genuine shift in how students engage with hard material, or whether AI is mostly replacing older shortcuts. Are students actually thinking less critically, or are we in a moral panic similar to when calculators were introduced in math classes?
I'm also curious whether anyone has seen schools or teachers find genuinely creative ways to use AI as part of the learning process rather than just banning it outright. Some subjects seem like they could benefit from it as a thinking partner rather than an answer machine.
Would love to hear perspectives from teachers, students, and parents on what's actually changing in classrooms right now.
Parents are now required to consent to sex education in Italian schools. The law capitulates to right-wing ideology at the expense of children’s safety.

An AI workforce transition needs more than retraining. P-TECH shows how education, employers and credentials can connect workers to jobs reshaped by AI.
Submission statement for the link:
Rashid Ferrod Davis, founding principal of P-TECH and a nationally recognized leader in career-connected education, argues that AI requires a workforce transition system that connects education directly to jobs. Drawing on P-TECH’s experience, he contends that sustained partnerships among schools, employers and government can prepare workers for an AI-driven economy while expanding opportunity.
