I teach World History at Riverside High School. Current obsessions: my wife and daughter, Bulgarian literature, cottage pie, fin-de-siecle history, cities.

The situation in Myanmar is tragic and worth watching, as much as the protests in Belarus or Hong Kong. This article shows the complexities of America's role: https://t.co/XSVx2b5v74

"We are more than we have been, and we are less than we hope to be." A great message for the start of a new presidency. Happy Inauguration Day!

Lit Mag is famous! Well, at RHS, anyway. It's exciting to see the word getting out-- hopefully it will lead to more submissions. https://t.co/WMxAUCv13T

[MrGroff @MrGroffatRHS]

This is tomorrow for those who are interested.

Exciting news at RHS for the creative-minded student.

Please consider signing this petition. I've been dealing with serious illness in my family, and I am not alone. The idea that students and teachers have to be in person for EOCs seems both reckless and unnecessary. https://t.co/uJCq59vWeI

Hemispheres makes great resources.

[Hemispheres @UT_Hemispheres]

Check out this great new resource with loads of potential uses for educators!

This is tragic, and under-reported. China and Belarus have gotten a lot of (deserved) attention for their corruption and human rights abuses, but the situation with SARS is not new, and it's getting worse. https://t.co/xnhzkxqmpW

The entire essay is worth reading. This is at the heart of why I became a teacher. https://t.co/BlGN9EEKqz

"The premier demand upon all education is that Auschwitz not happen again....Every debate about the ideals of education is trivial and inconsequential
compared to this single ideal: never again Auschwitz. It was the barbarism all education strives against." - Theodor Adorno, 1966

Leaders like Johnson don't seem to understand, or care, that the world only works when we work together. https://t.co/VoQyG4Yc75
