Waiting at gate at Tel Aviv airport to go back to US, checked my email. A reader of my Substack wrote this below. It's terrifying to me, but we have to know this is real, so we can fight it. I'm a 59-year-old Gen Xer; v. few people my age & older have any idea this is going on.
I am excited to announce that I will be learning to #nocode as part of the #100DaysOfNoCode challenge starting July 1st! Join me via @100DaysNoCode!

CNN is running a headline that Trump "now" claims Easter was aspirational. I have criticized Trump statements but he never said Easter was a firm deadline as opposed to his hope. The unrelentingly negative spin on stories makes it difficult for viewers to trust the media.
That kid you see every morning in the hall who you say ‘good morning’ to but yet never looks up or responds.
Keep trying... you may never get a response, but they know you notice them & that reassurance at the start of their day can be huge.
Grades are rarely successful at teaching students about responsibility, time management & organization (many adults still struggle).
Instead, an overemphasis on grades creates a culture of compliance.
In reality, grades should be about an evidenced demonstration of learning.
