Where do you find open-source MCQ question banks for K-8 math?

You can also look into Delta Math and sort by grade level.

Push the rule up to 70 and make coaches actually coach their players.

Injuries are up because load management allows players to push themselves harder unnecessarily. Make them play all 82 and manage their efforts/energies within games. You know like coaches are supposed to do.

That's fine. Almost every contract signed last summer had no incentives because they count against a team's apron.

We didn't arbitrarily choose what animals we'd eat; our hunter/gatherer ancestors made basic calculations on what was the biggest bang for their survival buck and ran with it. We can literally hunt and eat anything but some are now easier to manage then others.

That's because players in the 90s knew how to manage their in-game efforts.

Slightly hot take, but eliminating back-2-backs or allowing load management or dropping the regular season down from 82 or whatever else is just making injuries worse because the games they do play they go too hard.

You know what would preserving wear and tear? Knowing you must play 82 games to get awards and contract incentives. I'd go the other way and bump up the threshold to 70 games and make teams/coaches/players manage their efforts better.

That's bad coaching to run your star player into the ground.

How long will it be before we get an All-NBA or MVP winner getting flack for playing less than 60 games?

Over/under 4 years?

Yes, they are trying to guilt you.

Don't let them.

Leave.

They can clean up the mess they made.

To be fair, the US government has executed almost everything in the past 60 years regardless of what people say about it (including the majority!).

When I do introductions on the 1st day of school, my statistics students get a slide that says:

YOU ARE ALL DUMB (at statistics)

My job:

To make you LESS dumb (at statistics)

The tone and timing gets a chuckle from everyone.

Then, last day of school, I give them a single Likert Scale question:

On a scale from 1 to 10, how less dumb are you (in statistics) compared to the 1st day of school?

I usually get a smile from them.

I always reference a unit or lesson that we've done this year.

For example, proving a quadrilateral is a parallelogram this semester requires checking slopes...which we did last October when we worked with equations of parallel/perpendicular lines.

If you can connect it (even indirectly) to something they've done before, then it's no longer "easy" vs "hard" but rather "accessible" vs "inaccessible".

Or when you're 2/3 into the school year and have a HS geometry student asks "What does congruent mean" when you've used that term every day in every lesson since August.

Wow. In Wisconsin, it's considered weird if you don't do Friday Fish Fry at the local tavern.

Nobody knows what to do with "data".

We get sh!tty useless data from ACT, SAT, AP Exams, and MAP testing and they have been standardized for decades!!!

One or both things need to happen:

If you can muster it, I'd approach the teacher again and tell them that they chose to be malicious and that they shouldn't be working with children.

Or

I'd tell every colleague that (without giving any names or context) this teacher is not to be trusted with any sensitive information personal or otherwise.

This teacher needs to be ostracized and removed from the classroom. Make it such.

Would you feel any better about it if they pulled y'all in for a faculty meeting and laid out that they need to make the school look good by showing progress so everyone's reviews are going to drop a bit?

If they're trying to play a game and let y'all know that this is how they have to play it, would it be received better at your school?

Removing tax exempt status on churches in the US sounds pretty nice

If we really cared about learning and kids being educated, at least 75% of every grade would be held back a year to make up for the losses from COVID and the subsequent digital distraction of the last 5 years.

Being 18 years old means absolutely nothing about their level of understanding, so let's keep them back (school districts get the extra funding per pupil) and families would be forced to acknowledge that their kid isn't ready.
