Just a friendly reminder that libraries are free.

Not “free trial” free.
Not “free with ads” free.
Not “free if you give us all of your data” free.

But free free.

so what you’re telling me is a company that just makes cell phones has age limits but the government responsible for over 300 million people don’t?

Most people who don’t work in schools can’t fully understand why teachers sometimes restrict bathroom use.

From the outside, it gets framed as a “bathroom rights” issue, as if teachers are simply being unreasonable or dismissive of students’ needs.

Here’s the reality:

There are schools where students can use the bathroom freely with no problems.

And there are schools where, if you allow unrestricted access, mayhem ensues.

-Students leave for 40-minute stretches.
-Student wander into other classrooms and throw water balloons.
-Students vape.
-Students meet each other and box in the bathroom (with gloves).
-Students scream through the halls as they run past rooms.
-I can go on with another 2,000 issues.

What looks like a simple policy decision (from an adult's perspective) is actually quite complicated.

Once again, if you are not working in a school--you probably don't get it, bruh.

Students need to read books. Entire books.

Our society is distracted, unfocused, and in a hurry.

A curriculum that rushes through content perpetuates the anxiety of our time.

Reading a book (slowly and leisurely) is a countercultural act.

Coaches are responsible for chirping

What you allow- you condone

If an umpire ever has to tell me that my bench was out of line- I’m either deaf or it’s time to give it up because I have failed these young men

Wait… if the Kentucky Derby can be run at 7 pm on Saturday night, why is every other major sporting event at stupid times late on Sunday and Monday?

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

When I talk to parents, I suggest something simple: have your child read from a book for at least 20 minutes every night.

The question I usually get back is, “Will this help my child’s grade?”

My answer is honest: not necessarily.

A 7th-grade classroom grade, in the long run, doesn’t matter much.

But building a habit of reading will shape how your child thinks, focuses, and understands the world.

The daily habit of reading books is one of the most valuable goals you can set for your child.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Classroom management experts often make it sound like once you set routines, rules, and norms, the hard work is over, and the class will run itself.

In reality, that’s rarely true.

Teaching requires constant attention. The moment you ease up, things start to slip.

You have to stay steady, stay present, and keep your foot on the gas.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

If we are serious about literacy, we must be serious about students reading books.

Not excerpts.

Books.

Hilarious that Logan Jones is receiving a lifetime supply of ketchup for being taken with the No. 57 pick, only to go to a city in Chicago that’s a sworn enemy of the condiment.

All told, as a Tigers fan, he'll miss at least 50 games this season.

Is this "growing the game," @MLB?
