@MicrosoftEDU I willingly left a great career to provide education for my kid with learning deficits. (Many homeschool fams are on 1 income.) Tools currently available FREE to other educators of struggling children would be a boon. Can you help, or should I give up on Microsoft?

[Casey Alexander @HypervigilantCA]

@MicrosoftEDU Any thoughts?

@MicrosoftEDU Any ETA re: #MicrosoftEdu being available to home educators? I homeschool to give my child the one-on-one she needs; our school system is in full support. She's finally succeeding; these tools would be amazing. Been begging for this...no luck so far. #wemattertoo #specialneeds

Residential Progress https://t.co/IyIMcSbl3B

[Casey Alexander @HypervigilantCA]

Last fall, we admitted our son to a residential facility, expecting a 30- to 60-day stay. Just to get his head straight. From then through early spring, his behavior spiraled so far out of control that he didn't have... https://t.co/IyIMcSbl3B

I homeschool *w full support of our public school* bc my kid has learning needs. I have a graduate degree; I study and work just as hard as every other teacher, but don't get paid. My kid is just as important as the others. @mtholfsen and @MicrosoftEDU can I get a purple cape?

[Casey Alexander @HypervigilantCA]

@smillerteacher @mtholfsen Any ETA for availability to home educators? I home school b/c my child has learning needs our understaffed public school doesn't have capacity to address (with their full support). I want to see her eyes light up with understanding. #microsoft #MicrosoftEdu

My dearest boy, This year has been one of the most difficult I've ever lived. Let's speak with honesty: you created most of the mountains and valleys. Some people say hindsight is 20/20 regarding past mistakes. This... https://t.co/cq8sMBnRUR

@frogotter Did you foster b4? If not, you're still amazing! (& if yes, the experience still counts). :) We adopted,too, so am no longer FP, but intent of the book is to encourage those who are able to step up and foster w intent to reconcile/return. When ours=grown, I hope to foster again.

[Casey Alexander @HypervigilantCA]

Writing a book about why #fostercare and healing the #family should be our #1 priority. We need to be #fierce, #hypervigilant defenders of the most vulnerable. If you have experience as a #foster parent or child, I'd like to hear about it. #MakeADifference
