I’ve been thinking about how little most students learn about money itself.

We spend years studying economics, but how much do students actually learn about:

• how money is created through the banking system
• inflation and the loss of purchasing power
• currency debasement
• why hard assets can behave differently from cash
• how monetary policy affects wealth distribution
• the incentives created by different monetary systems

Keynesian economics is generally given much more attention in mainstream education, while Austrian economics and thinkers like Mises and Hayek often receive considerably less attention.

I’m not saying one school is automatically correct. It just seems strange that students aren't more explicitly exposed to competing frameworks for understanding something as fundamental as money.

There’s also an interesting historical question about how educational priorities become established in the first place. Large foundations, universities, governments, and wealthy philanthropists have all played roles in shaping American education over the past century. That influence doesn't necessarily imply anything sinister, but it makes me wonder how much of what we consider "standard" curriculum is simply the result of institutional priorities becoming entrenched over time.

Why don't we teach students more about competing theories of money and monetary policy, rather than giving them one dominant framework?

I think understanding how money actually works should be considered basic financial literacy.

Hey,

I’m a teacher myself and until now I’ve been using TeamShake for making student groups. At some point a few missing features (for example iCloud sync) and also the somewhat outdated look started to annoy me. There are newer apps doing similar things, but I honestly don’t see why I should pay a subscription for a small helper app. Mine will definitely be a one-time purchase and cost no more than your average kebab. Without extra cheese!

After around 6 months of working on it during holidays and weekends (I teach full-time), the app is now basically finished and the App Store release is coming up. You can create classes, import them from .CSV files and then generate groups either randomly or with different parameters like student strength, gender or a blacklist. There are also quite a few other features already working.

Something that was very important to me was being able to present the groups nicely on the classroom screen, so the app supports AirPlay. While you generate and maybe adjust the groups, the class sees a loading screen, and once you hit “Go”, the groups appear with an animated reveal. There are several animations to choose from.

Until now mostly colleagues and friends have tested it, so I’m looking for some teachers who have never seen the app before. No review, post or anything like that expected – just try it and tell me what annoys you, what is confusing or what is missing.

The app is developed for iOS and iPadOS, but also runs on Mac. The only thing you need to try it is Apple’s TestFlight app, which is used for testing apps before they are released on the App Store.

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/rSfvmzM7

If you’d like to keep testing future builds and prefer to be invited directly through TestFlight, just send me a DM with the email address you use for TestFlight. Feedback here, by DM or directly through TestFlight is all fine.

These days i find myself reading almost nothing of real use. I feel like my passion for learning has been slipping away. Do you guys have any suggestions on certain topics i could educate myself about?

I prefer online free documents which are easily printable and such. There are no limits towards suggestions, as long as a reason is given on why i would want to educate myself about the suggested topic.

Thank you all in advance.

What is the difference between a college counselor and an academic advisor?

Is it that an academic advisor helps solely with academic needs and a college counselor also requires a masters?

Do you enjoy your job as a college counselor?

Do you work on a 10/11 or 12 month contract?

Also do any of you have experience as a elementary/middle/ high school counselor and if so what made you ultimately choose to be a college counselor over those?

I have an interview as a teacher’s assistant at a local alternative school.

What sort of questions should I prepare for? The standard STAR format or something else?

Any tips welcome. Thank you!

For example, i think for chemistry its unnecessary for them to get really technical about spdf orbitals, since most high school material can be explained with the octet rule. Im not saying that it shouldn’t be taught, what i mean is that time is finite and most of them that will go on a science profesional career will be taught that in college.

Also, in biology its unnecessary to get really deep about chemical processes like atp synthesis and similar processes.

On the other side, i think it should be taught the biology of human behavior. There is a course about it online on Stanford by Robert Sapolsky that tries to explain why humans behave based purely on biology (not psychology or sociology) comparing it to other animals. Talks about cooperation, beauty, war, game theory and lots of other components of human society explained by our biology instead of psychological or cultural aspects. Its really interesting and might make students see the world differently.

I need help in my project that tackles on helping students and parents forming their guild path (which include course, financial, location and social aspects, importance in this order) for choosing a college out of state and can have a easier time finalizing said decision

This recent school year is my 8th year of grade school. im in philly, and I dont know to worry about my grades or not. I want to get into saul highschool but I've been suspended 4 times. I know my record looks really bad but I dont know what to do.

After a year of being unemployed trying to find work outside of education, I've decided to go back. However, there is this ginormous hurdle of the letters of rec that I need for the positions I want (I had part-time and out-of-school district employers before, I only notice this issue with full-time positions). I am 5 years out from college and I don't keep in contact with previous employers/coworkers. I have all the boxes ticked except for that, and it's driving me up a wall. I am curious if anyone knows the actual reason why they force this, but my other question is: What's the most ethical way to get around this hurdle? Do I ask my friends to write me one saying they were my coworker? It doesn't mention what kind of letter (from employer or professor) so I feel like that's my best bet. (Also, how likely are they actually gonna read it? or even trace the person who wrote it to see if they actually worked there?)

Why is it that you are told nothing about how to choose college or which career path brings you good income and growth?...you are lucky if your parents pay attention and guide...is that not supposed to be the job of school and teachers?...what the hell are they making us study so much if at last we are not taught how to decide on universities, colleges, courses and careers. Everyone just follows herd.

Does your school have a specific curriculum/program they follow for GATE/GT? Our older kids go to a different campus once a week for their time. With our younger grades, we are being asked to differentiate in the classroom instead. The librarian use to do it as a lunch thing. She’s now gone. What is everyone using?

Hi there, I'm from the UK and I have been looking into getting back into education possibly to develop a career. Although I need to have a job due to living alone and having bills to pay and such

Is there any online courses or studies that offer a diploma and are flexible in terms of how much time you put in? I don't wanna lock into something and be forced to complete in the span of a short time I wanna be able to take my time with it so I dont burnout

Hi, first time posting here wasn’t sure what flair to use. I am no longer a student and AI tools like ChatGPT only became prevalent for me in college so I wanted to ask some educators. I personally think it’s a great idea especially since they are including lessons and tests in AI literacy for the high school students.

I have included an article going into detail about the changes for NYC students. I hope I’m not breaking the rules and if I am I will delete this. https://abc7ny.com/post/new-york-city-public-schools-banning-ai-use-middle-school-year/19778716/

I'm looking for a low anxiety job that's less stressful than being a teacher? can you share what your job is? what its like in your day to day life?

I'm looking for a job in education thats' a bit predictable and not a position that you have no idea whats going to be thrown at you.

Not as a teacher but a different position that does not require a teaching credential? There are some positions I have been interested in applying for especially since the positions are remote but the reviews online are not good....

I am wondering if anyone has some feedback from working there?

Hey guys

I built a tool that generates historical timelines with AI-generated images (you type in a topic, like "Cold War" or "French Revolution," and it automatically creates key causally-connected events, each with a period-accurate image).

Built for teachers, educational content creators, or anyone who needs quick historical visuals without manually piecing them together.

It's in testing and I'm looking for people to try it out for free and tell me what they'd change. Takes about 3 minutes to generate a timeline, and there's a quick 4 question at the end.

If you want to try it, comment or DM me and I'll send the link. Any feedback (good, bad, "this is useless") is genuinely helpful at this stage.

Thanks!

Will be joining a federal educational program that will allow me to pick up skills/certs at no cost and looking to use it to make a new change. Currently just working hourly low skill jobs where moving up is not gonna happen when you got 5-10 other seniors waiting for it and keeping it for another 15-20.

Honestly Cert programs have always been a fear mainly due to those false Cert schools back in the early 2000s.

Like WyoTech, Heald, Everest, westwood.

Opinions and advice. I know these dont show whats being taught and you cannot really gauge how well the program maybe just based off the courses name alone.

Hi all,

I am in need of some advise. This is my 17th year in education in the state of Alabama. I went back to school in 2016, to get my Leadership Degree to become a principal. At that time I was asked to go get it because my principal was retiring and was coming to recommend me for the job. Well, the retiring superintendent had other plans and granted some favors as she left out the door And I was passed over. I did leave the district briefly to work in higher education because I always wanted to work in educational technology. in my district, I never that job would never come open. I learned a lot during that time and still use the methodology I learned in course design in my Schoology courses today. Our district mainly promotes coaches and it seems lately to be fraternity or sorority individuals (for which I am not a member).

Currently, the district is currently getting administrators is through their own Principal Visionary Program. You have to be chosen to attend by the district. Some of these new APs did not go through it and was told they had priority first. Today, I was rejected again for the cohort. I honestly have no idea how to become an AP in my district (my principal wrote a great recommendation). The part the bothers me the most is some of these district administrators now I worked with them when they were teachers and Asst. Principals fixing their work and personal technology items and I cannot seem to land an interview. My background is technology heavily being a Technology Support Teacher (TST) for all of my years in K-12 education. Most admins have no idea about technology I try to use that as my leverage since I am not a coach.

Salary wise since I am a high need science/computer science teacher I make roughly the same as an AP but on a 9 month contract. Part of me says I have it made the other half says I am not deserving of a promotion which I guess is bothering me more than ever. My teacher reviews have always been good to average and I try to keep my students busy with project based learning activities. I have seriously considered leaving education all together this year. After 14 years of high school in rural and inner city I am so tired and considered a municipal job where things are slower and I can still retire at 25 years.

Resume/Vita

Hello people I started as a 2nd year IT student at a local state university. To be honest, I don't know why the heck I wanted to be an IT in the first place, I think it's probably because I haven't thought of my career path very well. I'm not particularly good at programming and computer networks, but right now I'm still getting the hang of it. As I'm thinking what my future would be if i pursue IT, I feel like it would make my life worse. Confined to a desk all day looking through a computer doesn't sound healthy at least to me. I am posting this since I need opinions from Maritime graduates and also from people who can help me somehow make my decision to change or not. Right now I am weighing the pros and cons of each program and I'm leaning more to maritime even if it comprises 2 years of my life.
