    Good morning from AHR Expo day 1

    And today starts the AHR expo 2025 in Orlando, FL.

    Me at way to early this morning

    Lots and lots of exhibits.

    Sort of a big deal.

    But dang, I just paid 6.92 for a cup of coffee.

    I am in Jacksonville, FL today and tomorrow for a REALLY AWESOME class for Generac Service Certification. I haven’t had such a great technical class in some time.

    I was thinking about Orange Park Used to be Kennel Club today. Had it been 3 years ago it would have been my evening entertainment while I was here. So sad.

    A well rounded, critical thinking, non-multiple choice based education can eliminate the acceptance of fake news and the spread of conspiracy theories.

    A multiple choice, true-false, linear, assembly line education can increase the acceptance of false news and the spread of conspiracy theories.

    Prove to me I am wrong.

    And the drama with this still continues. I am now a “Curriculum Team Lead” with no one to Lead, and no responsibilities with Curriculum as those were assigned to a much younger, female employee, with far fewer qualifications than mine.

    Schools in the US over test. This starts in first grade (or before from what I am hearing) and continues on through many colleges and universities.

    I swear that if some idiot sends me one more email about an ebook not working without telling me the name of the book, and if it is a student or instructor I am going to find the hard covered book and shove it…. oh, never mind.

    Man, when this group screws something up, they REALLY screw it up. I want to know HOW you can screw something up so badly that you have been doing 4 times a year for 46 years. Wow!

    For those concerned about education in K-12. Read the following about common core (and no child left behind) and as you read FAQ #4 please think about the statement “follow the money”. Common core, instructional technology, laptops, tablets, etc. are all big money. Test generation, test presentation, and test grading are also big money. Publishers change a passage in a book all of a sudden every student needs a new book and every test has to be re-written, etc. Follow the money.

    Hmmm…. like most of it. Not all of it.
