This is truth! 💯

Research shows the brain is far more active when we write by hand than when we type. Despite this, local authorities are spending millions on iPads for every pupil—a reckless decision amid declining literacy rates and other urgent pressures. Handwriting matters; we must not abandon it.

Teachers should not be pulled from their lunch, prep, or their own classes to cover other classes. End of discussion.

Let's remind everyone one more time. For your school to be a trauma-informed school, it also has to be a trauma-informed workplace. The adults are carrying just as much trauma as the kids.

Friendly reminder: Just because something may be valuable as an assessment doesn’t mean it should be taught…

Oldie but goodie from @ReadingShanahan… and still on par with his T Swift references 🤪

Thank you to whoever it was that moved Dressel to give him some privacy… the need to keep the camera on him for so long was unfortunate. #Paris2024 #usaswimming

Katie Lededky is phenomenal, but here's some additional context:

At age 27, she not only won by 10 seconds, but went over SEVEN SECONDS faster than she did at the Tokyo Olympics in the 1500 free. In an event where swimmers typically peak in their teens/early 20s.

To be fair the daytime coverage is much better #Paris2024 #nbcolympics

The longer I work in psychiatry, the more & more I'm reminded that poverty is one of the most harmful factors (if not the most harmful factor) affecting peoples' mental health.

[Laura Crossman @LCrossman90]

The NBC coverage of the Olympics is not cutting it… we’d actually like to see the competition not a highlight reel & human interest stories #Paris2024 #NBC

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesn’t mean they aren’t leaders. Many have amazing talents which can benefit the whole school. Good leaders recognize and value them as experts.

Let’s go Simone! #swimtrials24

[Laura Crossman @LCrossman90]

Anyone else get stressed out that Rowdy’s going to talk someone up too much & they’ll miss the team? #swimtrials24

[Braden Keith @Braden_Keith]

Caeleb Dressel reading the results live on the big screen is content gold. #swimtrials24

[Laura Crossman @LCrossman90]

Glad to see the smile from Dressel even with the 3rd place finish in the 100 free #swimtrials24

[Laura Crossman @LCrossman90]

That smile from Armstrong after pulling out that swim after a slip on the start #swimtrials24
