It's just about the 3-yr anniversary of deciding I had to leave teaching. I'm thriving in every way possible, and yet I still have lingering thoughts of "what if" I'd gotten the gig. This emotions will never fully extinguish. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
Those emotions are just one reason I don't want to be seen as a success story. Whatever success I have not teaching is only a further indictment of a system that makes it impossible for me to work teaching college. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
Multiply me by thousands. The amount of experience and talent that leaves higher ed instruction every year is incalculable. You couldn't imagine a worse system if the goal was to provide quality instruction to undergraduates.

UMass prepares to flush massive amounts of cash and time down the toilet in chasing a phantom. This will definitely turn out badly. Guaranteed. bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/03/… h/t @roopikarisam
Institutions are right to be concerned about demographic changes, particularly in the Northeast, but smart institutions will be identifying their core proposition and consolidating and strengthening around that. Taking a swing like UMass proposes is institutional malpractice.
UMass's rationale for making this move is self-defeating. They will not be able to compete with SNHU. The promise of MOOCs as job training has not materialized. This is beyond obvious.

"Small government conservatives" endorse Trump campus free speech vaporware proposal that would be a historic imposition of government on other entities. I almost can't believe they take their own argument seriously. insidehighered.com/views/2019/03/…
Is this just the kind of thing you write when a think tank piper calls the tune on your work? There's nothing small government conservative about either Trump's extremely vague bleatings or what the authors endorse.
As a dispositional (though not ideological) conservative, I'm disturbed by the willingness of small government conservatives to throw aside their conservative dispositions to get behind Trump policies that are so ill-conceived and pure campaign propaganda.

The sensitive types of the elite MBA world continue to show up in the comments on this one. They seem to be sweating the possibility that they aren't a boon to society. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
The defenses of the elite MBA culture are essentially the same, "We fund Alzheimer's research and the arts." They assume this would not have happened without a giant apparatus of venture capitalists looming over markets. That they believe this suggests HBS is brainwashing them.
The elite MBA crowd cannot even conceive of a world of public goods funded by public money. The Apollo missions, curing polio, GI Bill, etc...all erased from the elite MBA world view. It's almost a religious belief that the VC world is necessary to fund innovation.

Even more gold from @BESResearch -- while I do think that online opinion polls are generally extremely problematic due to the likely significant selection bias that it introduces, there is still some signal in the data that tells us about the nature of #leave support in 2016.
Waves 7/8 asked participants what they expect how the EU referendum is going to pan out... i.e. it asked what probability respondents attach to a #Leave vote, some subsequent waves ask whether people regret how they vote.
20 - 30% of respondents stated the probability of a #Leave success is less than 40%. Now, the nice thing is the BES also subsequently asked, how people voted and whether they regret how they voted -- it asks whether people are #remainernow

Have I researched JFK Jr being alive? Yes. Started the Fusca search.

I’ve also researched flat earth, hollow earth, comb earth, no earth, round earth. Ive researched everything I could find. Thats why I say at the end I believe NOTHING. ZERO. All there is, is faith.

#Thoughts
If I could give advice to anyone in the search of truth. Don’t be hungry, don’t be desperate, don’t get attached. Be will to alter your perception of reality. Reality is perception. Glass full or half full? Nothing is as it seems.

Have faith. Find peace, Find love

#Thoughts
If you want to look in the right place than this place they call Antartica and they create the image of it. hides the last truths on earth.

God Bless.

As we are back in campaigning mode with #Leave on the back foot, what is the most important thing we have learned since #EURef2016 that means we should #StopBrexit?
- That #Brexit will leave us worse off in every scenario?
- That the Referendum was advisory, not an ‘instruction’ to the Government?

I recently talked with graduate students in a seminar on #teaching practices in #HigherEducation about how to design and teach a course when you are not an expert on all of the content--which is really what most teaching is. Here are the main takeaways for those interested. 1/
In my experience, there are four main mistakes that novices often make when designing and teaching a course for the first time.

First, they approach the task by venturing off on their own into the wilderness of literature on all of the topics they don't know well. 2/
In other words, they prepare for course design as if it is a qualifying exam, attempting to become experts on all of the topics that the course will/should/must cover. 3/

Here is Jon, her voted leave but now has seen the lies of the #leave campaign become clear & is a #RemainerNow
Respect @jonnywoo34 -so many feel like you! Thanks for speaking out & keep doing so!
Let’s hope MPs have courage to put country before party & start opposing #brexit
Here is #remainernow Jon again with a great post (and mini thread) on his #bregret and how #leavers should look at those still advocating #brexit and ask if they share their values!
Top work @jonnywoo34 keep speaking out, your courage will encourage overs!
I urge people to read this great thread from #remainernow Jon (for more see ⬆️). In it he explains his reasons for voting leave & what he has realised since.
Thanks for taking the time to do this @jonnywoo34 hopefully it can encourage others!

.@stephen501 is another #leave voter who wishes he had the chance to vote again now the facts of what #brexit means are becoming clear. Good on you for coming forward Stephen, you are one of millions, just need others to show the same humility! #remainernow #finalsay #fbpe
Here is more from Stephen following his visit to Germany. Highlights the ideologues lies that EU will give us a good deal as they need us more than we need them.
Here is another tweet from #remainernow @stephen501 after he regretted his leave vote he wrote to his MP. Hopefully he can also help persuade other leave voters he knows to do the same now #brexitreality is hitting!
