I remember the fall of the wall well, and was fortunate to have been there as one of the thousands who, with hammer and chisel, broke it into chunks and helped tear it down.

Today is the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall! 🎉

The Wall divided East and West Berlin for 28 years. But today marks 31 years since ordinary Berliners tore it down!

Do you remember that fateful day? 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸

It's the 30th anniversary of East and West German unification! Happy German Unity Day!

Germany was divided over four decades, but today marks a milestone as a whole and free nation!

The US played a major role in making this possible! Won't you celebrate with us?

#edchat #FutureReady @WSJ @EdSurge @educationgadfly #remotelearning Help me to understand this… We can’t have the Democrats and Republican presidential conventions because of safety concerns, but we can send kids back school?

I had to hear it for myself. Yup, she really said that.

MASSP supports Michigan’s efforts to lead a multi-state court action against Sec of Ed Betsy DeVos’s recent rule that reroutes fed relief $ from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security (CARES) Act to private schools & limits the use of these funds for public schools.

This is what we are up against as a nation. I just can't see schools opening up in the fall. I want to be wrong, but I just don't see it...too many moving parts in such a short period of time. https://t.co/IUXGuWQkDZ

Attention Taylor families.
If your schedules allow, this looks to be an interesting and important presentation. Knowledge is power. Learning what the trends are and what to be aware of can help us all better protect our kids, our students, and our families.
