Hey @JoeBiden Thanks for not being comfortable sending me to my death in an unsafe school. 👏🏻 You’ve got my vote.

@MsHanesTweets Ah yes, I’ve been wanting to read Solo by Kwame Alexander. I’ll add the others to my list too. Thx!!

Seeking good YA titles that would appeal to a male audience. Reader and teacher friends - HELP ME!

So fun to have my @SCWRiP buddy @GareyJfgsb Judy Garey teach my class today! We are reading and playing and having a great time!

@SherriBryan1 Have had “Nightingale” on my shelf for at least a year and you are probably the 10th person to recommend I finally read it!! Must be a sign!

Looking for book recs for me (literary, realistic, and historical fiction lover) and my honey (all the sci fi, ALL THE TIME) to read and discuss together. We’ll read any genres, but really good literary dinner conversations are a must. What have you got for me?

[Becca Miller-Maple @BeccaMiller457]

Talk to me, teacher friends: What are good sources of money to buy books for my Independent Reading shelves?

@brandonjanes2 That sounds like so much fun! I’m going to have to start searching for passages. Thanks @brandonjanes2

Excited to dedicate more time to real writing (not just essays!) next semester. What have you tried that works? I'm looking for student engagement in the writing process - I'm open to any genre, any topic, and any activity that gets us there!

[Becca Miller-Maple @BeccaMiller457]

Prepping to change up my teaching for a new batch of learners next semester. What have you read recently that you can't put down? I'll recommend it to my readers!

“We want them to pass, but not at the expense of an actual education...” Bittersweet (mostly bitter, with just a touch of vindication) to see that this isn’t a problem just for me, but across the country. What do we do now? https://t.co/Csh2NCeFuw

Teachers nationwide told us they see the same issues: chronic absenteeism and pressure on teachers to pass unprepared students. https://t.co/7t0w37Cs4i

2017 saw both a sustained rise in 'feminism' lookups and a number of event-driven spikes.

'Feminism' is our #WordOfTheYear.

Matt Lauer lost his job.
Charlie Rose lost his job.
Mark Halperin lost his job.
Glenn Thrush lost his job.
Billy Bush lost his job.
Harvey Weinstein lost his job.
Kevin Spacey lost his job.
But in politics...
Conyers still in Congress.
Moore still running.
Trump still President.
