@JetBlue we really need some help. It’s been an awful day for us. Flight from JFK yo PUJ canceled and now our group is split. Half of us on a plane, half stuck in NY till Tuesday. Absolutely ruining our vacation since half of us will be missing half our trip. Help!

I’m angry, and sad. I’m devastated that my first thought was “aaaand nothing will change.”

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

I’m all out of thoughts and prayers.

AP Exam day! Time for some cheese and snacks to power up before the big test.

Meant to tweet @cvspharmacy just @cvs is some guy that's not the pharmacy.

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

Hey @MinuteClinic and @CVS Help please!!! I got a covid test yesterday and the results came back both positive and negative and I need some help!! The pharmacy couldn't help me.

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

When I call the minute clinic number, the automated system says "negative." An at home rapid test says "negative." Which do I believe? Do I go to work tomorrow? Help please!!

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

@pezoket @MinuteClinic @cvs Lol, this is reverse-schrodinger. Observation made it go into two states!

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

@HiltonHotels Oh yes, I would like some help. I will DM you my info. The experience I had was detailed in a form I submitted through Hilton's main website (where I was originally directed).

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

@HiltonHotels Hello! I had a pretty awful experience at the Hilton garden inn in Danbury CT back during my wedding in March. I reached out to the hotel and was told to fill out a form through Hilton's main website. I did that several weeks ago.

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

I haven't gotten a response. I'd rather not get into the story of how poorly my husband and I were treated, but I want someone to look into the form I submitted and respond to it. Thanks.

Awesome APOD today!

Also, here was a funny fail:

Buggy Crash Lab is always a good time. Started the buggies 7m apart this time. They were all really close but this one was pretty darn near perfect:

Was talking with a student yesterday who said that getting back into “regular” school has been hard. Said, “we didn’t REALLY have to study last year, so it’s like… we forgot how.” It has stuck with me. Anyone else? Suggestions?

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

I'm struggling to address the problems above. I'm trying to be lenient and understanding in the most learning-forward ways possible. Curious to see what others are trying.

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

Some observations since the start of school:
1) Not having to zoom every period of every day is the absolute biggest relief in my career. I can really focus on the kids. I can build relationships and I can give immediate feedback to my students.

[Daniel Longhurst @MrLonghurst]

4) Student anxiety is high. Maybe a sense that they "missed" all this time and need to catch up to be competitive for colleges.
