The Sunday Dilemma

One thought experiment. One printable. One research finding. Every Sunday.

The newsletter built for K–12 teachers who want a classroom-ready dilemma in their inbox before Monday — and the discussion guide to run it well.

What you'll get each Sunday

  • The Dilemma. One thought experiment, picked for the week's grade band. Branching scenario, discussion path, the philosophy underneath. Ready to run in a 20-minute block.
  • Try It Monday. One printable teacher kit. Warm-up, prompts, exit ticket, standards alignment. Print and hand to a class.
  • Five-Minute Read. One research finding — a 2025 meta-analysis, a policy update, a new tool — distilled to what matters for the classroom.
  • From the Field. A short note from a teacher, administrator, or parent who used a resource that week. Send yours — they may appear.

The fine print

Nothing. No paid tier, no upsell, no premium-only content. The work is funded by other things; this is the part that should be free.
One issue per week, Sunday morning your local time. That's it. No drip campaigns, no follow-up sequences, no marketing emails.
Send you the newsletter. That's the entire list. We don't sell, share, or trade subscriber addresses. Email is stored by Buttondown (a small independent newsletter platform); their privacy policy is at buttondown.com/privacy.
Every issue includes a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. No questions, no friction.
Once a few weeks of issues exist, an archive will live at buttondown.com/examinedclassroom/archive — link will appear here after launch.

Questions or feedback? Reply to any issue — it goes straight to Matt.
