I visited a class of second graders to teach them about poetry, and this is a poem one student wrote.

What is Life?

My name is Marisa.
Today I feel like a wealthy lioness prancing in the fields.
Sometimes I am a fox.
Sometimes I am a wolf.
But always I am loyal.
I ask the world, "What is life?"
And the answer is
a wealthy lioness prancing in the fields.

An Ohio teacher, who was reading The Sneetches to her Grade 3 class, was abruptly cut off by an admin when a student said "It's almost like what happened back then, how people were treated. Like, disrespected. Like, white people disrespected Black people.”

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

If you see #AdoptATeacher trending and wonder why people are adopting teachers, they are not— it’s much more absurd than that. Teachers are so under resourced that they desperately need help to ensure their students receive the best education they can.

AUDIO: Here’s the clip that got NC State play-by-play announcer Gary Hahn suspended indefinitely.

“Amongst all the illegal aliens in El Paso,” he says before listing the score of the Sun Bowl.
