when i cut large passages i paste them in a separate just-in-case document so it's like i'm no longer killing my darlings, just cryogenically freezing them
Uvalde city meeting getting heated right now. Mayor calls reporters at the @statesman & KVUE “chicken” and “unprofessional” for releasing new video footage before the families were able to see it first. A resident shot back, asking him if he thinks the cops are chickens.
Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.

I definitely have math anxiety! I wonder if I’d appreciate math more if it were taught across all subjects, similarly to how reading is intended to be taught. It’s an interesting thought that would take a lot of work to develop! #EDLT6616
Math anxiety can impair students’ abilities and persist into adulthood. But experts say teachers and parents can help children develop a more positive math identity. https://t.co/n8HkxnKpi5
