This week we have been on the shores of Great East Lake in a cabin that was first set up by my grandfather, a New Hampshire general contractor, and which has now been enjoyed by generations of the family. So my output, already diminished as I try to wrap up a book about writing (which has no actual publisher, but I have this thing where I have to write things out of my head or they just won't leave me alone, so if you are a publisher interested in a book about writing, you know how to find me), has been way down. My intake of Devil Dogs, various forms of seafood, and hours paddling about on the water has been greatly increased.
But I still have a list of goodies for you to read. So here we go.
An Annotated Guide to OpenAI's Enshittification of EducationBenjamin Riley dissects some more of the latest AI bullshit. Sadly hilarious.
Toluse Olorunnipa writes for The Atlantic and damned if somebody other than Jennifer Berkshire has noticed that public education is popular in this country.
Anne Lutz Fernandez points out that there's a serious problem with asking teachers to get students to do what allegedly responsible adults will not.
From Sue Kingery Woltanski-- turns out that Florida vouchers aren't just paying for theme park tickets, but for some dress-up shopping sprees as well.
Ben Williamson with news about some really creepy new business initiatives.
Rob Schofield reports from North Carolina yet more findings about who is really using school vouchers.
Carlos Garcia reports for Blaze Media on a Californias charter school that has achieved spectacular levels of fraud and waste. Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools in Sacramento is a very special outfit.
If you're not familiar with the Herzog Foundation, it's another pile of rich conservative money aimed at privatizing education. They're at it again in Missouri.
Not just barring it, but puzzling how anyone could have thought that such a thing was remotey legal.

For those just waking up, David Kirp offers a quick primer on the regime's ideas about education
For Time, Charlotte Alter offers a look inside the anti-phone movement. You may or may not agree with these folks, but this provides a better picture of who they are.
Maurice Cunningham offers an expert's take on Science of Reading.
Steve Nuzum explains how "parental rights" serves as a marketing term for taxpayer-funded vouchers (and segregation).
Nancy Bailey on one of nthe less-than-brilliant ideas now kicking around about Ai and the littles.
