.@chucktodd Your on-air comment “He tweets like a Tourette’s” is grossly unacceptable. I sincerely hope you recognize the ignorance of this and issue an apology. #TouretteSyndrome is NOT a punchline.
.@chucktodd – your joke about #TouretteSyndrome is hurtful to the 1 in 100 school-aged children and countless adults who struggle daily with this condition. Use your platform to help raise awareness for this misunderstood disorder and stop the stigma. @MSNBC@MeetThePress
We utilized a clip chart with ADULTS during our training this morning. Turns out that adults absolutely hate this public display of behavior. Resulted in anxiety, disengagement, fear, resentment and embarrassment. If adults don’t like these tools, how do you think kids feel?
It irritates me every time EL parents share with me how they were advised to completely cut all home language use at home so their child can learn English “faster”.
Wrong advice.
Just don’t!
