Do I have any Twitter friends who particpiated in 2018 WV teachers' strike at the Capitol and would be willing to speak about the experience for a story I'm working on?

New findings show Tylenol may be a significant risk factor for Autism.

Mothers who used Tylenol while pregnant and then had a child diagnosed with Autism may be entitled to significant compensation. Find out if you have a claim.

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.

Teachers, NEVER let anyone make you feel guilty for enjoying your time off from school. Whether its excited on a Friday afternoon or Thanksgiving is next week! Teachers pour out their heart & soul on a daily basis! You're human, you have to recharge! Happy Friday!

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Dear Teachers and School Staff,

Thank you. Thank you for all you do every single day. Thank you for giving your hearts, souls, knowledge and money to your students. Hopefully, one day soon, society will invest in you as much as you invest in your students and schools.

GET THE RIGHT GUYS ON THE BUS!

"Mediocre people don’t like high achievers and high achievers don’t like mediocre people ... Get the right guys on the bus, get them in the right seats, and get the wrong guys off the bus."

Admin, have their back, give them your ear, lend them a hand and you will most likely have their heart. It's a simple formula for effective leadership.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Effective leaders don't feel the need to micromanage because they know their staff are the experts. They know their role is to sometimes mentor, but always support and encourage those they lead. Effective leadership is about getting the best out of those you lead!

We spent Bridge Day spreading the word to droves of West Virginia voters: Vote NO on WV's Constitutional Amendments. Stop this Power Grab! We lose independent checks & balances on our government if these amendments pass. 🧵 #WVPowerGrab #wvpol

Whoever designed the math sections on the PSAT 8/9 needs a reality check in the classroom.

Why are we giving a comprehensive algebra test to children who are only in their first weeks of learning algebra?

That’s educational malpractice. We have got to do better for our kids.

[Jay Wamsted @JayWamsted]

Me: Tweets something about the PSAT being mostly a scam

Them: But students need to practice rigorous testing protocols for college

Me: These kids take 3-5 high stakes tests a year starting at six years old. They don’t need more “practice”
