@KapraHefley But don't you think that our post high school system sets students up for "just get it over with?" #DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

@Klein2005 and I am worried that merit pay will only increase this unhealthy competitiveness #DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

@ElizaProctor - I agree and it makes me want to be a better educator!!! DrakeEDL

@lilraafster1 When has a suspension ever had a positive outcome? How could this possibly support learning? #DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

@mkdohmen When will we spot calling them "illegal" and start calling them undocumented citizens? It is less stigmatizing- #DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

@CGrandon It has in Iowa City, which is pretty disappointing- we did not change our bell schedule, because of athletics #DrakeEDL

@LoriKasparek @CGrandon - I cannot believe we have not considered it more seriously in IC- I am a huge fan-#DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

@miminpippi @AndyWerling -Neither do I and I think it promotes people based on education levels, not on ability and talent#DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

But we can use what we have learned from yesterday to enhance our teaching practice today- the same can be said of technology #DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

In response to Amanda- I am not sure we do know how to work with kids w/out judging them- it was what we were taught to do #DrakeEDL

For a Homeless Child, a Long Ride to 4th Grade http://t.co/klkfZMBl - Copy - We need to think about what are kids are up against #DrakeEDL

[Emily Dvorak @EmilyDvorak2]

@KapraHefley I think communication is a huge issue in our district, do you think it is because of the size or people? #DrakeEDL
