@artcrimeprof College Spanish prof constantly told us we sounded like a bunch of American students learning Spanish (um, we were). She mocked us, called my writing abhorrent & was just the worst. I had 2 more classes to complete a Spanish Ed minor & she taught both of them. I changed my minor.

Telling children who love graphic novels that "graphic novels do not help you grow as a reader," is not true and diminishes the children right along with the books. Reading doesn't belong to school. It belongs to readers. Value them!

@soledadobrien If by kinda racist, you mean SUPER racist, then, yes, he's kinda racist. (But, you know, like a lot. All the time.)

[Jessica Schmidt @MrsS_ESL]

Well, would you look at that! I'm actually only 29 years old just because I believe it to be true. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey, I think President Trump is on to something with this idea of limiting COVID infections by not testing as much. Who knew the secret for staying forever young was as simple as not celebrating your birthday?

[Kelly Yang @kellyyanghk]

Those who have stayed inside, wore masks in public, and socially distanced during this entire pandemic are the same people who are used to doing the whole group project by themselves

Summer reading lists for young people at a time of crisis https://t.co/BiJ6f6wzd1

@MissNikkiIn5th @kellyyanghk I do the same thing: put the power in their hands because their names are part of their identity. I would never assign a student a name to make life more convenient for me, nor do I expect a family to "Americanize" their child's name for my benefit. 100% respect their choice.

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

In response to uprisings against racist violence, the National Museum of African American History and Culture has released a portal designed to help inspire conversations—including with children—about the legacy of racism in America.
