Welcome to The Education Evolution — and you're listening to Hall Pass to the Real World.What happens when you remove the grades?The University of Michigan is eliminating letter grades for first-semester freshmen beginning in fall 2027, replacing them on official transcripts with a pass/no-credit system. The goal is to reduce anxiety, support student mental health, and give freshmen room to explore without the pressure of a bad grade following them.But is removing the grade actually solving the problem—or just hiding it?In this episode, we take a closer look at what grades are really doing in education, why they create so much pressure, and whether removing that pressure helps students build resilience or simply postpones the moment when they have to learn how to handle it.Because this isn't just about grades.It's about the difference between **protection and preparation**.We look at the history of grading, Michigan's own history with pass/fail, Johns Hopkins' decision to end its grade-covering policy, and universities that have continued to use versions of pass/fail successfully.And we ask a bigger question:Are we helping students learn how to navigate discomfort, failure, feedback, and pressure—or are we simply making those things harder to see?The mental health challenges facing college students are real. But if the system itself isn't changing, does removing one of its most visible sources of pressure actually build the capacity students need to succeed?Maybe the question isn't whether pass/fail works.Maybe the real question is: **What has to be true about an educational system for it to work?**

In Part 2 of this behind-the-scenes conversation, we sit down with EB Academics curriculum writer Pat to break down what effective word study looks like from 5th through 8th grade and how to build a system that becomes more rigorous each year without becoming overwhelming.We dive into why 5th grade begins with syllables, sounds, and decoding before introducing vocabulary, how spelling rules are intentionally concentrated in 5th grade, and what to do when older students still need foundational support.You'll also learn how to revisit 5th grade word study without making students feel “behind,” strategies for small groups, supporting struggling readers, special education students, and English language learners, and how consistent routines, vertical alignment, and even gestures help word study stick.If you want a word study system that builds stronger, more confident readers year after year, this episode is for you!Subscribe & Review in iTunesAre you subscribed to our podcast?

What if the rewards you're using to motivate your teen are actually making them less motivated? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Özgür Bolat, author of The Reward Trap: Why Rewards Backfire and the Real Science of Motivating Kids, about the surprising downside of using rewards to motivate our kids. Dr. Bolat is a distinguished education scientist, researcher, associate professor, and internationally recognized expert in education and parenting. He earned his master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education and his PhD from the University of Cambridge and spent a year as a visiting PhD student at MIT Sloan. His research and personal experience led him to explore how achievement, praise, and rewards can create a dependence on external validation—and what parents can do differently. Dr. Bolat explains that while rewards may get teens to do what we want in the short term, compliance is not the same as motivation. When we say, “Get an A and I'll give you money,” or “Finish your homework and you can have more screen time,” teens may become focused on the payoff rather than learning, mastery, or personal responsibility. Over time, rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation and even affect creativity, self-esteem, and connection. Instead of immediately trying to control behavior, Dr. Bolat encourages parents to get curious about what's underneath it. Why isn't your teen studying? Why have they stopped caring about school? What are they struggling with? His PEACE model helps parents move away from simply fixing the behavior and toward understanding and solving the deeper problem together. 3 Takeaways for Moms 1. Compliance is not the same as motivation.Rewards may get your teen to do something today, but they don't necessarily build the internal motivation to keep doing it. Ask yourself: Am I trying to get immediate compliance, or am I helping my teen develop ownership? 2. Look underneath the behavior.Instead of asking, “How do I get my teen to study?” get curious: “Why is my teen struggling to study?” Resistance may be pointing to discouragement, disconnection, fear of failure, lack of meaning, or another deeper issue. 3. Help your teen find a cause, not just a goal.Grades and college acceptance may not be motivating enough. Talk with your teen about the bigger picture: What kind of life do you want? What are you good at? What matters to you? How do you want to contribute? Meaning, growth, values, and connection can become powerful internal motivators.

There are so many ways to grade students. You can avoid zeros, use a standards-based approach, allow iteration, tweak your late policy, experiment with different categories and percentages. What works best? That's hard to say. But today's guest, Dr. Brittany Dillman, wanted to try something different. She's an expert in educational psychology and educational technology, and directs several online masters programs at Michigan State University. She decided, with her colleagues, to step away from traditional grading and its many remixes altogether, and pursue an alternative known as "ungrading." As a student myself in several educational technology courses there, I noticed the ways this approach felt different, and I liked it. So today I'm delighted to welcome Brittany to talk about ungrading - what it is, how it can help students, and how you can try it out in small ways to reap its benefits and learn from your experiments even if you're not prepared to chuck your digital gradebook.

The sports card market is always changing, and this week on The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper catches up with Ty from Slab Factory to break down what’s happening across the hobby. Are collectors moving away from prospecting and back toward established legends? Ty explains the rise of the “GOAT market” and why cards featuring names like Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders, Peyton Manning, Shaquille O’Neal and other all-time greats are starting to see renewed interest. The guys also discuss whether there could ever be another Tom Brady-type investment and why Brock Purdy could be an intriguing name for collectors. Then they dive deep into the world of grading and authentication, including the controversial Mike Baker Authentication “Diamond Crossover” certification, PSA’s blue autograph labels and the massive premiums attached to Beckett Black Labels. You’ll also hear the incredible story of a Pokémon card that sold for more than $200,000 because only two copies received a Beckett Black Label. Ty also brings in some of his latest pickups, including a Christian Watson one-of-one autograph, Penny Hardaway inserts and some examples of how collectors can find cards priced below recent sales. Plus, Dan and Ty talk about how to properly research card values, why you should pay attention to actual sales instead of eBay asking prices, how tools like Card Ladder and 130 Point can help, and a simple trick for determining whether a player's overall card market is trending up or down. If you're a collector, investor, flipper or just getting back into the hobby, there's plenty to take away from this episode.

What does a Catholic school principal wish every parent knew about raising their kids?After years of working with students, teachers, and families, Katie has seen the same parenting challenges come up again and again.In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we break down five things every parent should know about raising resilient, respectful, faith-filled children.These aren't just lessons for parents with children in Catholic school. They're practical lessons about Catholic parenting, Christian parenting, discipline, education, resilience, reading, faith, and forming children who know their identity isn't determined by their accomplishments.5 THINGS EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW1. Kids are supposed to push boundaries.Children testing boundaries doesn't automatically mean something has gone wrong. Part of growing up is discovering where the boundaries are.Our job isn't to continually move the boundary so our children never become upset. Kids need loving, consistent expectations.Eventually, the external boundaries Mom, Dad, and teachers provide should help children develop the internal boundaries, discipline, and virtue they'll need as adults.2. Grades do not determine your child's worth.We want our children to succeed, but sometimes our desire to protect them from failure prevents them from developing resilience.A bad grade isn't the end of the world.Sometimes struggling, failing, accepting consequences, learning, and trying again can form a child more than another easy A.Our children need to know:Your performance matters, but your performance does not determine your worth.3. Pay attention to how you talk about other people.Our kids are listening.How we talk about teachers, coaches, family members, friends, priests, other parents, and even people we disagree with teaches our children how they should treat those people.We can disagree with someone without disrespecting them.One of the biggest questions parents should ask is:Are our children learning how to disagree with people by watching how we disagree with people?4. Read to and with your kids, regardless of their age.Reading shouldn't disappear simply because our children learn how to read independently.Read together.Talk about books.Let your kids see you reading.Create a home where curiosity, learning, conversation, and books are normal parts of family life.5. The most important formation starts with YOUR relationship with Jesus.We can send our children to Catholic school.We can take them to Mass.We can put them in religious education.We can teach them prayers.But ultimately, our children need to see that Jesus actually matters to Mom and Dad.Let them see you pray.Let them see you go to Confession.Let them see you open Scripture.Let them see you struggle, repent, forgive, and begin again.Because the Catholic faith isn't simply something we teach our children.It's something we live in front of them.BOOKS MENTIONED

I have been banging the drum for copper for some time, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Gold has the glamour, but many, including veteran investor Rick Rule, now see the greater opportunity in copper. In summer 2024, I highlighted three copper companies Amerigo Resources (ARG.TO) at around C$1.75 and Arizona Sonoran Copper (ASCU.TO) at C$1.36 and QCCU (QCCU.V) at 12c . Amerigo and Arizona Sonora both hit C$8 on Monday meaning gains of ~350% and ~500%. QCCU, on the other hand, is still at 12c. You can't win them all.Back in May we noted that things were getting a little hot. The metal had just hit fresh highs; there was a plethora of investment bank supercycle notes and social media was full of predictions about imminent shortages. The long-term story is intact but don't chase it, we suggested. Copper tends to be weaker over the summer and some consolidation could give you a better buying opportunity.We got a good opportunity in June but it did not last long, and here we are three months on with copper at ~$6.50/lb a couple of per cent below where we were in May.It doesn't take a genius to work out which way the trend is going in that particular chart. The summer lull has been more of a pause than anything else.Meanwhile, beneath the surface, the fundamental copper story is getting stronger.Copper's problem is not demand. It is supply.We covered the demand side extensively in May. AI needs copper. Data centres need it. Power grids need it. Electric vehicles, rearmament, reindustrialistation, India - they all need copper. This is not the usual China story by the way. If anythign China demand is lacklustre. Its imports of unwrought copper fell 11.5% year-on-year in July and industrial production there has been slowing. But, as RBC notes, the LME copper market had moved into its steepest backwardation since the 2021 squeeze. In other words, buyers are paying substantially more for copper now than for delivery later. That is a classic physical tightness indicator. Antofagasta has cut its 2026 production guidance after problems at Los Pelambres. Codelco has abandoned its 1.34 million tonne production target and now expects to produce less than it did last year.Meanwhile we have BHP's latest results. Copper now accounts for 54% of its earnings (EBITDA). Its copper mines are extraordinarily profitable (70% EBITDA margin). Yet despite the obvious incentive to produce more, BHP's copper production actually fell 3% last year. This is the largest mining company in the world, with some of the best copper assets, engineers and access to capital on the planet. If anyone can turn on the copper taps, so to speak, it should be BHP. Yet it is talking about a “persistent structural deficit” of as much as 10 million tonnes a year next decade. Demand from electrification, digitalisation, data centres and other newer uses, meanwhile, is expected to grow at around 6.5% a year.So it now aims to grow its copper production at ~5% a year, faster than the rest of its business. The requires an extraordinary amount of capital.In a recent video, Merlin Marr-Johnson, CEO of Fitzroy Minerals (FTZ.V) analyses BHP's spending plans using Escondida, the world's largest copper mine, as an example and concludes, “They're spending $5 billion to stand still. And that is the copper industry in a nutshell.”Billions of dollars of investment don't necessarily mean billions of dollars of new production. Mines get older. Grades decline. Pits get deeper. More rock has to be shifted to produce the same amount of metal. Processing plants wear out and have to be replaced. Sometimes you have to spend billions just to stop production falling.Which brings us to Rick Rule.Is copper now a better bet than gold?It could be.Rule argues that “The biggest copper mining companies in the world need to spend $250 billion to maintain current levels of copper production.” Note - to maintain, not increase. Not every one has $250 billion sitting around waiting to be spent. “The copper development boom that we absolutely have to see in the next 10 years will require vast amounts of capital.”“There's nothing that we can do, nothing at all that we can do, to avert a shortage in copper,” he says. As a result, five years from now the copper price will be, “dramatically higher than it is today.”As you know, copper is an important strategic mineral. Citi recently looked at what might happen if countries start building national inventories. Global refined copper inventories, it estimates, currently sit around at around 3 million tonnes, equivalent to just 1.3 months of global consumption. If governments decided they wanted three months instead, they would need need to find another 4 million tonnes of copper.Where does it come from?To be accumulated over two years, Citi calculates, would require the copper price price to rise to over $10/lb to bring enough scrap into the market and destroy enough demand to balance things.That is not a forecast, by the way, it is a scenario. But governments are increasingly treating critical minerals as a matter of national security. The US has proposed a US$12 billion strategic commodities programme, the EU has allocated billions to critical-mineral security and there have been calls in China for increased copper stockpiling.So what do we actually buy?

August 19, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 10 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, that was Alex Kozora and I start by talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers new contract extension they got completed with DT Keeanu Benton on the heels of the finer details now being known. We discuss the cash flow of Benton's deal through the 2026 and 2027 seasons and little fully guaranteed money is included. While Benton now officially has a new money average that equals that of DT Cameron Heyward, we explain how Heyward will earn much more in cash over the course of the next two seasons. We also go on to speculate why Benton accepted such a team-friendly contract as opposed to betting on himself in 2026. Alex and I go over where the Steelers now sit in real-time salary cap-wise with the Benton extension numbers now known. That conversation continues into the work the Steelers still likely need to do before the 2026 regular season gets underway. After talking about the Benton contract in-depth, Alex and I go over the Steelers plan at quarterback for their second preseason game against the New York Jets on Friday night. HC Mike McCarthy announced on Wednesday morning that Will Howard and Drew Allar will be the only quarterbacks to play against the Jets so we go over that decision and what it may or may not mean when it comes the future of QB Mason Rudolph. On the heels of Alex releasing his quarterback grades for training camp, we make sure to highlight those midway through this show.While we plan to do a more detailed preview of the Friday night preseason game against the Jets during the next podcast episode, Alex and I reveal some of the early things we look forward to seeing in that next exhibition contest. We go over where OT Broderick Jones might play Friday night and if OL Brock Hoffman might see the second-team snaps at center in that contest. This 91-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we close this show out by answering a few emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Dan Campbell said most Detroit Lions starters will play Saturday against the Washington Commanders. The staff wants live defensive reps after the Bengals preseason opener highlighted interior issues and clarified several depth battles. As host Jeff Risdon noted, not every headliner will dress, but the standard is set for a sharper outing. Will Detroit Lions starters play against Washington? Yes. Head coach Dan Campbell said most starters will play. The goal is targeted work, not a long run-up. Who stood out and who struggled on defense vs the Bengals? Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga, Detroit Lions, and undrafted rookie linebacker Erick Hunter, Detroit Lions, topped the defensive sheet, while the interior defensive line lagged. Defensive tackle Ben Stille, Detroit Lions, graded best among the interior but played only in the final two defensive series, underscoring why more starter reps are planned. Michael Grey said the grades matched his notes on most fronts, but there was a clear disconnect on defensive lineman Chris Smith, Detroit Lions. The film and the grading service had Smith down, yet Dan Campbell specifically praised him for dirty-work execution, and the coach's view is what drives roles. Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr., Detroit Lions, finished near the bottom against the Bengals, then responded with a strong Monday practice, which is exactly the rebound the staff wants to see. Which Lions boosted or hurt their stock on offense? Running back Jacob Saylors, Detroit Lions, and wide receiver Cedric Wilson, Detroit Lions, helped themselves. Jacob Saylors created yardage behind uneven blocking and finished as the team's leading receiver, and Cedrick Wilson ripped a clean deep crossing catch. Undrafted rookie guard Melvin Priestley, Detroit Lions, played left guard in the second half and impressed with power. Offensive tackle Blake Miller, Detroit Lions, posted a 66.6, a solid baseline outing with teachable reps. Center Seth McLaughlin, Detroit Lions, checked in at 62.0; one sack was charged to the play where offensive tackle Larry Borom, Detroit Lions, had the losing pass-pro rep. Guard Chris Mahogany, Detroit Lions, flashed an 85.2 pass-block grade against a 56.7 run-block grade, with two penalties dragging down his total. On the other end, wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa, Detroit Lions, and linemen Michael Niese, Detroit Lions, and Miles Frazier, Detroit Lions, hurt their cases. Frazier drew three penalties, and penalties crushed grades across the board. What roster battles are Detroit sorting right now? Depth, not the starting 22. Detroit is sorting the fourth and fifth defensive tackle spots, wide receiver five and six, and running back three and four. The staff values cross-team grade stacking over raw numbers, and Saturday's targeted starter snaps are designed to sharpen the defensive front while giving bubble players another clean evaluation window for the Detroit Lions Podcast crew to track. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #dancampbell #washingtoncommanders #bengalspreseasonopener #livedefensivereps #interiordefensiveline #jaredgoff #jahmyrgibbs #amon-rast.brown #peneisewell #amenogbongbemiga Learn more about your ad choices.

The first official PFF grades of the Packers' preseason are in, and the reactions have already been extreme. From Kyle McCord looking like a legitimate backup option under constant pressure to Jordan Morgan dominating at left tackle and a group of young defenders stepping up, this episode digs into every number that matters—and separates the real signals from the noise. Special teams standouts and the surprising bottom-of-the-roster grades that could decide roster spots Offense: McCord's elite passing grade, Morgan's dual-threat blocking, Belton's continued struggles, and why Kyron Drones' low grade doesn't tell the full story Defense: Jonathan Ford, Lucas Van Ness, Chris McClellan, Brandon Cisse, Warren Brinson and Colin Oliver all grading well while coverage and a few veterans lag behind The bigger picture: one data point, plenty of reason for measured optimism about the depth pieces This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including a judge ordering an anonymous jury for Luigi Mangione's state murder trial as supporters continue to romanticize the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson; the University of Michigan replacing first-semester letter grades with pass or no credit in an effort to address student mental health despite rampant grade inflation and declining academic preparedness; and kratom products sold at gas stations and smoke shops facing growing scrutiny amid surging poison-control reports, addiction concerns, and more than 5,200 fatal overdoses in which kratom was detected; and much more. #rubinreport #luigimangione #unitedhealthcare #universityofmichigan #grades #kratom #overdose #daverubin
