I see both sides, but I’m a little inclined to agree with @joboaler here

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

Is anyone else frustrated by so called "equity sticks" ie cold calling students when their name is picked at random. I regard that as an anxiety inducing teaching practice - and there is nothing equitable about it. Why not call them cold calling sticks instead?

Getting mental health help really shouldn’t be so stigmatized

Therapy is awesome and I couldn’t recommend it more

I’m in awe of the tender, caring support of this mother. That’s love. So cute.

I just saw an article on FB saying that one of my former students was reported missing and I don’t think my heart rate has gone that high in a while 😳 she’s home safe now, but MAN that scared me and I didn’t like it at ALL! #OnceMyKidAlwaysMyKid
