@arthurjack @PeteKrykant_OPC You can find them. I believe in you.

@BrandonGilles I am so sorry for your loss. I have a family member with Long-Haul Covid. I've been reading his extensive documentation & find it helpful to understand better & support. His contributions will continue to help others & his legacy of love will go forward. Love 2 you & yours.

"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn, research shows.

Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩

Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study found.⁠

@JenniferJJacobs @jendeben This is ridiculous. I went on a camping trip with a whole bunch of people in a winery field and I would say every male but one of them had a CPAP machine and they were in their 50s.

These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.

[Kathy Dillingham @KathyDillingham]

@TheAmandaGorman @MiamiDadeCounty Ridiculous. Uneducated. Un-American to ban this book. #AmandaGorman #bookban

@andreamv I loved it.

NEW: California will be manufacturing some of America’s most affordable insulin.

The new CalRx insulin will be just $30.

It will be available to all Californians -- and across the nation.

Next up: Manufacturing our own Naloxone.

"Portable Petri Dishes": New study finds reusable water bottles can harbor 40,000 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. https://t.co/QZf8bH8hvk

@JoeBiden As the mother of a now-adult child with Type One diabetes, I can't tell you how much this means to me! Too many young people and elderly or low income can't afford insulin & it's hard enough to be managing symptoms let alone worrying about the price of medication! Thank you!

@Nieb77 @lukeshand2 This was happening in our high-performing district; parents & teachers advocated 4 no homework policy for weekends & holidays. We've changed finals so now before winter break. It affected everyone especially elementary teachers, but I do think it was what was best for kids.

@jodipicoult This is an organized movement where often outsiders are going to schoolboard mtgto demand books get pulled. On a side note, not every child wants to read the same books, kids mature at different rates, tastes vary, but one thing for sure is that a wide variety of books r needed.
