I have often seen less believable people (students) insist that the more believable people (teachers) understand their thinking and prove why the teacher is wrong before listening to what the teacher (the more believable party) has to say. That’s backward.
While untangling the student’s thinking can be helpful, it is typically difficult and time-consuming and puts the emphasis on what the student sees instead of on what the teacher wants to convey. For that reason ...
... our protocol is for the student to be open-minded first. Once the student has taken in what the teacher has to offer, both student and teacher will be better prepared to untangle and explore the student’s perspective. It’s also more time-efficient to get in sync this way.

I suggest that you note the recent a) U.S. directed arrest and intended extradition to the leading Chinese tech company Huawei’s CFO (and daughter of the founder) and b) the violent demonstrations against taxes and the rich in France as notable dots ...
and connect them with other dots related to conflicts within and between countries (especially as it pertains to populism and the conflict with China being beyond trade) to see the most powerful forces at work.
In my opinion, these forces, together with where we are in the short term and long term debt cycles, are and will continue to be, the main drivers of our markets and economies. I suggest that you plan and diversify accordingly.

Wow! It’s been one year since the publication of Principles: Life & Work, over 1.5 million have been sold worldwide, more people than I could imagine have told me that it has been life changing for them, and I’ve had many meaningful conversations with you here.
I’ve been especially pleased to watch many organizations start to create idea meritocracies that will bring them meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical truthfulness and radical transparency—and to hear the positive effects this approach is already having.
Over the next several months, I will be passing along the tools I describe in Principles, a collection of principles from great people I know, and my final book, Economic and Investment Principles—and I will be discussing these things with you here.

I urge you to understand how debt crises work because you can’t escape them having a big impact on your life. I laid out the template that has worked great for me across 60 pages in the beginning of my new book, and I’m giving it away free here: principles.com/big-debt-crise…
I believe that understanding this unique template will help to reduce the risks of debt crises happening and help people navigate them well. The template has been widely acclaimed by highly credible people such as Tim Geithner, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, and Hank Paulson.
@andrewrsorkin, @BeckyQuick and @JoeKernan from @CNBC invited me on air to discuss it this morning; you can watch our full conversation here: cnbc.com/video/2018/09/…

I hate to do this every time some racist shit from the 1980s comes up (and that Northam yearbook page is definitely racist shit). But here's a page from my high school yearbook in 1983 in Louisiana. We voted for Best All Around Blacks and Best All Around Whites.
The thinking was that no black student would ever be smart enough to be best all-around and no white student would ever be athletic enough to be best all-around. I am not making this shit up. Teachers told it to us.
The 1980s were a pretty fucked up time racially, and not just in the South. Here's Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places, the 4th highest grossing movie of 1983. As far as white people watching were concerned, if Eddie Murphy was ok with it, it was ok. See? Fucked up.

You have to know the history of Obrador. He's a right wing Christian right, Evangelical supporter who is worse than anyone Mexico has had before.

This spells out how the Mafia families work together when elections happen. They groom people for years.

I suppose we can safely say that now #TheFrighteners have been so successfully and publicly put on a certain sector their combined angst will spew a diarrhoea of spin & warp whilst trying to use THAT VERY THING to generate $£Es Some with automated AdTech software already bought.
2/ Some bought by gormless companies, by mistake, some in full knowledge or partial knowledge of what it could do. It will be interesting as time goes on to see who apparently DIDN'T CARE about the likely instigation of its more negative 'dark' capabilities looking to 'side-step'
3/ or even 'wrong-foot' Irish & EU regulation standards, & possibly law. This too is a kind of #climatechange & #ClimateAction in itself, a would be mammoth untouchable iceberg of 'dominion' & 'control' being melted out into an ocean of citizens' scrutiny & advancement for change

This week, House and Senate Democrats are unveiling two bold, ambitious, new planks of our A Better Deal agenda: A Better Deal for Our Teachers and Students, and A Better Deal for Our Democracy.1 #ABetterDeal #BlueWave2018 #DemPartyPlatform
Education is the catalyst for economic mobility, and the engine of progress in our nation. Yet, America’s teachers are underpaid, our schools are underfunded and our children are too often denied the good, public education they need to succeed. 2 #ABetterDeal #Education
Today, teacher’s wages are a full 17 percent lower than comparable workers – forcing nearly one in every five full-time teachers to work a second job to make ends meet. 3 #ABetterDeal #Education #Teachers #DemsWork4USA

#Teachers: Here's a thread laying out how to create a digital forensics learning pathway using this false quote meme featuring Denzel Washington that recirculated last week:
Before you get students started on their digital forensics work, you might point out the misinformation pattern it fits. This rumor has gone viral three separate times: first during the 2016 campaign, then again after Washington was nominated for an Oscar in February 2018, and...
...then again last week when Kanye West's tweeted statement of support for President Trump sparked a broader conversation about the political loyalties of the African American community. So one lesson here is that viral rumors recirculate when new contexts for them emerge.

Teachers thinking they can always tell if a student cares or is trying, or not, is frankly confirmation bias. It's certainly not unique to teachers (everyone experiences confirmation bias) but this form can be incredibly harmful to children and teens.
This trap that teachers can fall into also becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy - if you tell a child enough, or treat them as if, they are a bad student, they start to believe it (this happens to adults too, but children are more susceptible) and stop trying.
Not only is this setting up students to fail, but also the underlying issues they are having are not being addressed. There are so many reasons a student may be struggling - and many reasons they may be embarrassed and thus pretend like they don't care.
