I'm in the business of teaching young people to think.

[James Obrokta @JamesObrokta]

Goals as I start the school year:
1 Prioritize students over content
2 Challenge kids to think
3 Make class so awesome that kids forget to look at their phones
4 Get kids to work hard for 90 min every class but leave it all at school
5 Make my students curious about our world

In this horrible moment, encouraged to hear President Trump’s team indicate that the former president is doing well.

An entire nation must speak with one voice today to completely and unequivocally reject all political violence.

Now we get to find out....for those who chanted "rule of law" at rallies leading up to the 2016 election, do these Americans stand by their values?

DC to Shenandoah and a few stops in between...what a great fall weekend 🙂

Great day at the capital with senior gov students! A big thanks to @MarkWarner for the message about the importance of working together!

@DrJeck In Bealeton there is a 70% chance at midnight, 60% chance at 1 and another 50% chance at 2. Add it up, that's a 180% chance, think we should just call it now!

@MrsMLHSteacher That maple tree didn't quite reach the second floor windows when we started here 🤣

The public school is the single most democratic institution Americans have created in the past two centuries. We should all do at least one thing every day to save and improve them.

Just a thought...when it isn't clearly safe to go to school, or a grocery store, or a place of worship, a movie theatre, a concert, or even an independence day parade...you might not actually be living in a free society.

“We need only look south of the border to know that if we do not take action, firmly and rapidly, it gets worse and worse and more difficult to counter.”
- Justin Trudeau

It is almost as if governments can take action to prevent these tragedies...

Just saw disappointing interview with Texas Gov Greg Abbott @GovAbbott, in which he says, in summary, there are no solutions for this. Far past time for everyone to realize that those who have no vision to improve our biggest failures have no business leading in our society.

Perfect Fall Day :)

@lhsengclarsen I don't need anyone to jog for my health. But I do expect people to follow speed limits and stop signs for my health. It is an issue of whether or not our actions affect those around us...

[James Obrokta @JamesObrokta]

@lhsengclarsen I just love how that quote from Ron Paul in 2016 about a woman's right to make decisions regarding reproductive decisions is now embraced by the larger conservative movement. So much progress.

[James Obrokta @JamesObrokta]

@AmyAcors Or daydreaming about time spent in test prep being used to actually make learning meaningful...

Please keep a look out for my family's dog, Piper. She ran away earlier today in Midland and my family is home searching desperately. She is a full sized female Golden Retriever.
