If #iufb can win the Football national championship, then I think we should be able to cure #MultipleSclerosis or come up with better treatments for Mrs. Mendoza. My mom was diagnosed in 1982. My aunt in 1980. My aunt passed away from the disease. RT if you agree! #heisman2025 #FernandoMendoza @IU Bloomington @American Academy of Neurology

@MonteSyrie Boredom when chosen is a gift. Boredom due to war and and epidemics is a plague.

@MonteSyrie I use a rubric after we've gone through the paper together. They rarely disagree with the rubric. I still wish I didn't have to use one. But alas..

[Ms. Marcus @MsSMarcus]

@MonteSyrie I only grade via writing conferences. It takes forever. The students are a bit uncomfortable during the first round. But it's so much more effective. I don't have any data to prove that it's more effective. I am too busy conferencing. But! I do have comparative papers.

Celebrate with me - we can discuss difficult topics in the classroom - like the history of the Palestinians and Jewish Israelis without screaming. We can talk about hard things. And ten years later, a student is thankful.

RBG dissented; perhaps in heaven she's repented, when she died, two justices lied, now roe had ended.
nine eleven attack; lies about Iraq; no one trusts anything, only suckers get vaccines
First black President; stellar human being; racist cats scare their base so much progress goes to waste

Nas, your wisdom retains its value - and I will unlikely be able to meet or experience you in person, despite living close to your parents (comparatively). AI will not replace the humanity that you bring with your lived experience. What worries me is that there are those who only want what fits neatly into a mission driven narrative or the screamers that fill the world with hate. Continue your very important work and don't cannibalize yourself.

@DanielBShapiro Have you ever had the canned kind? I tried it last night for the first time. Don't do it. The four of us had a seder, but my heart wasn't in it. But, at the end, missiles and all, my kids were very sweet and I felt gratitude. Until I read the news when I woke up.

[Ms. Marcus @MsSMarcus]

@elmo Much appreciated, Elmo.

@WeinsteinEdu just finished - it's midnight

@DanielBShapiro I don't think Cyrus ever said that about anyone.

Lesson Plan: Edit And Analyze the Post
a. Parallel structure problem or purposeful? b. hyphen vs. em dash c. Fair comparisons: ISIS vs Israel??? d. He has a right to his opinion, but is it a good essay strategy to blame the victim? e. Fact Checking: Russian Orthodox churches do stand with Russia...Do you mean eastern Orthodox?

@elongilad @zoharejacobi I love teaching about the Bund when I teach about Jewish History. It's also very sad to teach about the Bund.

There is privilege in war. I have lived that privilege. I’ve also looked into the eyes of a former student on a Christmas Eve when I opened my computer announcing he was killed in his tank. I’ve out run a missile attack with my son twice with no shelter nearby. I’ve stood in silence as my neighbors finally were able to bury their son whose body was held for … can’t finish. A siren

@Sally_Sharif1 Use https://t.co/58Dz8DxnYL lockdown browser high security. I don’t make money from this. Students handwriting exams is very hard on you and them. But the secure browsers work. I promise you’ll thank me.

@MonteSyrie I spent the 36 weeks of my pregnancy ensuring that my child would have a healthy relationship with food. It was a lot of work. It paid off. I'm so happy for her.

[Ms. Marcus @MsSMarcus]

@piersmorgan I'll go on your show @PiersUncensored. Have your people call my people. Well I have no people - I'm my people.

@PeteButtigieg @MaggieG603 He wouldn't want me to second guess my choices. But, as my 10 year old says he can't really remember him all that well, how can I not? It's the biggest mystery how so many people I grew up with in South Bend are pro life, but would not give one cent toward subsidizing day care.

[Ms. Marcus @MsSMarcus]

@PeteButtigieg @MaggieG603 In 2013, the annual cost in Illinois was $25,000-$30,000 for child under one at a day care. I paid 1 paid $6000 a year for health care premiums.
