@stevemagness I teach. A caring and insightful administrator taught me to do something to signify the transition from my work day back to my personal life. His symbol was to pick up and set down a baseball. Mine is the closing of my laptop. It’s been good.
@Brink_Thinker Yeah! My neighborhood had a great group of kids who ranged from age 5-16. Everyone was included. On summer nights we would play “neighborhood games” until about 10. Capture the flag, spud, sardines…over about 6 yards. Great memories!
@jgault13 I was at Breaking4. 💯 agree that the stadium was way too empty to compare it to a Beyoncé concert. 🤦🏻♀️ That said, it felt unique, as EVERY spectator wanted the same outcome. It was also super special that we got so close to the runners. We stood on lane 8.
@ChrisChavez@cbcsports@perditafelicien@KingsleySC Haven’t had a chance to watch…do we know if Breaking4 will be open to the public? I happen to already have plans to be in Paris that week. Would love to watch!
@jgault13 do we know if Faith Kipyegon’s Sub-4 attempt is open to the public or how I’d go about getting tickets? I happen to already have plans to be in Paris that week.
@ChrisChavez Sorry to be a little off topic, but will this be open to the public? I’ll be in Paris that week and would love to see the attempt but haven’t found ticket info!
@EndWokeness Parents need to be cautious about messaging. I hear constant complaints that they had no idea it would be this hard and can’t wait to get time away from their kids. But the moment I say “yeah, that’s why I’m not having any,” I get flack for holding a mirror to their own comments.
@stevemagness …with each other to teach upper levels. We work best and are more effective for our students when we are placed in roles that play to our strengths. This is very scary for me.
@stevemagness Going to a merit-based system off of grades would incentivize me to ask for higher-level classes - courses I’m not as passionate about, but with a higher likelihood of solid performance. In my department, we have all found our niche, and these policies would have us fighting…
