We need teachers, administrators, politicians, and citizens who will create a radically different education system. It is long overdue. Students everywhere are ready for change and have great ideas…we just have to listen to them.
My 16 y.o. brother showed me this @PrinceEa video today when he got home from school. If you haven’t seen it or any of his other amazing videos, I highly recommend it. https://t.co/G1Pgi0TNm7
He can’t even fathom how any kid could enjoy school. He doesn’t understand why he has to memorize the pythagorean theorem and the half life of an element. The schools of today are hardly different from the schools of 150 years ago. We don’t need robot factory workers anymore.
Good morning. Today can you:
do something you love
take a deep breath
tell your body you love them
don't push away the pain
light a candle for someone
set boundaries where you need them
be okay with the unknown
drink a glass of water
text a friend to check in
trust the journey
If my experience had been like this, I would have been a lot less stressed in middle school. I still remember how worked up I would get about graded assessments in my computer, drama, art, and family consumer science classes!

The problem is that this never stops being true. What we've seen is exactly what happens when a nation's foundation and standard is white supremacy and hate.
So, there is no room for surprise.
Chair yoga on Tuesday mornings with @Elon_Ed is the bomb!!! It’s so important to take time to care for your body, mind, & soul even if just for 15 minutes! Definitely something I will take into my future classroom - both for myself and my students!#ElonEd
In no way do I mean to target and place the blame on another age group. I’m just saying that in my eyes there is no one group of people that isn’t taking the virus seriously. It depends on the individual and the community they are surrounded by!
I gotta say it bothers me when people talk about how irresponsible young adults are and how we “don’t take COVID seriously” ... most of the older adults I’ve interacted with are way more lax about virus precautions than my peers!
