The President’s FY26 budget proposal threatens to decimate ECA and puts exchange programs at risk.

📣 We need your voice. Act now and tell Congress to reject the President’s budget proposal and support funding for international exchange programs: https://t.co/yr0seUe3Vw

@Larryferlazzo Same. Found you there. I'm just going to stick with one profile I think - here I have my lawyer one and my exchange coordinator one but I'm going to consolidate. Look for legallaura!

[Laura Kosloff @Exchange_Mom]

This is so far beyond reality that I don’t have a word for it. Or I could just say he’s lying, I suppose. I’m getting tired of the lack of outrage and lack of real coverage by news media that should know better.

Trump: Can you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school and your son comes back with a brutal operation.

To the younger adults on my TL, there's a few things about the shock and awe over the Cheney endorsement:

1. Dick Cheney is a staunch, die hard, tried and true republican. But his version of the party doesn't exist anymore. Him being anti-Trump is no surprise (bc Liz is and has been), but rejecting your party's candidate isn't the same as endorsing the other party's candidate.

Enlightening article in @usatoday about new school staff losing jobs as COVID relief funds dry up. This affects teachers of color the most. https://t.co/DEQxF7yltr 1/4

A student said the gunman left Algebra class and when he returned later on, he knocked to get back in. The student didn’t open the door when she saw he had a gun.

A boy was able to carry a gun (likely a rifle) into a school with armed resource officers. https://t.co/ZLQc92AHyH

When students own their learning, they learn to think outside the box.

I’ve read some great books over the last few months and wanted to share some of my favorites. Let me know if you have any recommendations for books I should check out!

Here is Mr. Walz. Before all this, he taught students social studies. He taught students history. He taught students critical thinking. Teachers are the best of us.

[Help A Teacher @HelpATeacher]

This. 💯

Simone Biles taught a valuable lesson at the Olympics:

Overcoming adversity takes time. Resilience is not about how quickly you bounce back—it’s about how fully you recover.

You can’t judge people’s strength when they fall. Their fortitude is visible when they rise again.

Welcome to what promises to be one of the most extraordinary experiences of your life: your high school exchange year in the United States. https://t.co/1tGJmVlfvC

[Laura Kosloff @Exchange_Mom]

Just think -- you could say "I knew her when she was just a teen" or "He was my #exchangestudent and he developed his passion during his exchange." Give me a call or drop me a line and let's have an amazing teen brighten your life this year! #lovemystudents
