@dankness3 You're also a completely different human than the 14 year old version of you.

Rest in power, Michael Brooks.

Hard to believe, it is six years already.
His voice was pivotal for me, and his impact lives on.

@FixingEducation Can someone explain to me why principals are included in two separate lines?

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@FixingEducation In all fairness, this still means 1 admin for every 13 teachers instead of 1 for every 14 like it was 25 years ago.

How is it possible that George Galloway is the one who figured out that Dems should be running on impeaching Trump?

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@TheTNHoller The key takeaway here is that in 2008 the media was treating celebrities like serious policy figures and we haven't recovered.

Oh please. Homeschooling in a nutshell, is doing things with kids all week that working parents do with them on weekends, and calling it education.

Going to a farm, to soft play, to the library, to the park, is not education…it’s needy mums, that can’t be away from their kids.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@HawkeyeHouston @JamesAFurey Can't argue with that, either. It's very possible that two things can be true.

@Amazingjason2 @teacherinRI @JamesAFurey It's relatively strong from what I've seen and remember, but I could be behind.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey Well, I didn't say or imply that. Again, you're inventing something to be upset about. I understand that you're inferring that from my tweet. Fine. I'm telling you explicitly that it isnt what I said, inferred or intended. Hope that clears it up.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@SarahBBeverly @JamesAFurey Ok.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey This is silly...for the third time, I'm saying this is just my observation from being in schools for 25+ years. I am not making some data based claim in the comment section of Twitter. I'm perfectly happy to accept you're doing the same when you make a statistical statement.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@CoachDanGo I don't believe football players need to spend hours in the weight room doing exercises that they'll never use during a game. See how silly that sounds?

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey Well, I thought it was clear I was referring to thr interactions between you and me, but obviously not.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey This is my literal first comment to you.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey No. I said up front i was just making observations about kids with rough lives. You made a statistical claim. I leave it one of the poorest counties and one of the poorest states in the country. I'm just telling you my anecdotal, observational experience.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@OKConserve @JamesAFurey I said nothing of the sort and didn't even imply it. You're just inventing things over which you'd like to be outraged.

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey Cite your source?

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@JamesAFurey Insulting to whom?

[Mr. Stooks @MrStooks]

@ZillennialApple @JamesAFurey ...and I didn't think I was being progressive, regressive, conservative or any other label that folks can't resist. I'm just giving my observation as a parent and educator for the last 25 years. Hungry, anxious kids often rely on school for stability.
