Dems have been looking for their message for years, and @AnnieAndrewsMD just did it (in under two minutes). Take note 📝

The teacher chose the shyest student in the class to draw a piece of paper, and if it was blank, the whole class would get a free lesson to play.
But all the papers were blank, and she did this to help him socialize and alleviate his shyness.

Spoiler Alert: Kids don't always tell the full story.

Recess isn’t a reward. It’s a reset.

Kids aren’t just “burning energy.”
They’re calming their nervous system.
They’re learning how to breathe again.
They’re letting go of the stress they can’t put into words.
For some kids, running is therapy.
Playing is regulation.
Movement is medicine.
Take that away, and don’t be surprised when the behavior gets worse, not better.

RETWEET if you stand with Stephen Colbert after Paramount/CBS fired him.

This is what class looks like! 👏

[Kevin W. @Brink_Thinker]

The most timid kid in class was asked to draw a slip—if it was blank, the whole class would be excused from homework. The teacher had secretly made all the slips blank, just to make that child a hero in everyone’s eyes.

Parents…

If you send an encouraging email to your child’s teacher, please know there is a good chance they will print it out and save it in a file. They will reread it when they are feeling down. Your encouraging words will go a long way.

P.S. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨TRUMP WON’T LIKE THIS:

JB Pritzker DEMOLISHES Trump’s entire cabinet:

“We have a secretary of education who hates teachers and schools.

We have a secretary of transportation who hates public transit.

We have an attorney general who hates the constitution.

We have a secretary of state, the son of naturalized citizens, a family of refugees, on a crusade to expel our country of both.

We have a head of the Department of Government Efficiency, an immigrant granted the privilege of living and working here, a man who has made hundreds of billions of dollars after the government rescued his business for him, who is looking to destroy the American middle class to fund tax cuts for himself.

And we have a president who claims to love America, but who hates our military so much that he calls them losers and suckers, and who can't be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen US Soldiers.”

DAMN. 🔥

@MaxwellFrostFL Where are the police? They should be with you.

The only president worse than the 45th is the 47th.

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time.

DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism.

Here are some questions to ask students returning from winter break:

❤️ Not everyone has a family

❤️ Not everyone celebrates holidays

These questions will honor your students and maintain a sense of love and belonging

Districts or schools that remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas, have no idea of the immediate and long term damage they are doing to these students. These may be classes that help them love school.
