@BaskinRobbins I just wasted an hour unsuccessfully trying to find ingredients of sherbet & nondairy ice cream. Your website redirects to the app (mine is closed so I had to pick a store in CA). But then when I click “more details” I get … none! #websitesthatsuck #wasteoftime

@pschofie79 You’d think the student would be happy to have a short break. I was called unprofessional in a student evaluation for wearing a dress with little fish on it; the student said I looked like a kindergarten teacher. You can’t please them all.

C’est « mais », c’est l’essence-même du négationnisme.

Time to end corporal punishment in the United States. Corporal punishment in school is prohibited in Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. The United States is one of two western-world countries where corporal punishment in school is still allowed. #endseclusion

Sometimes my students give bizarre reasons for a class absence. I never question them b/c I remember the day I emailed Ron Inglehart saying I’d miss class b/c a volcano erupted, covering Europe w/ ash, & my flight was canceled. It sounded utterly ridiculous, but it was true.

The @nytimes nailed this piece from 1997. This one word change DID radically change #ChildWelfare.

YSI, mentioned below, eventually morphed into Sequel. Sequel's impact on #FosterCare was horrific, as @SenSaraGelser @NDRNadvocates @dawnjpostesq @TommyJamesLaw can attest to.
