Growing up in Quebec, I saw firsthand how language divides people. Until we embrace multilingualism as an asset, we will continue to see language used as a weapon of hate. #multilinguism #language

Every child has the right to a free public education. It’s one of our greatest strengths and a promise we’ve made to our future generations. We must stand together to protect this right because our future depends on it. #StandWithThurmond #protectpubliceducation

The more that students must "work at storing the deposits [of knowledge] entrusted to them" - e.g., by studying for tests - "the less they develop the critical consciousness which would result from their intervention in the world as transformers of that world"

A4 I love the saying, “Reading is breathing in; writing is breathing out” (I was unable to find one person who was credited for that expression but it’s a powerful reminder that reading lifts writing and writing lifts reading (at all grades) #G2Great

School districts, if you are dealing with high attrition and turnover, remember that teachers/ staff rarely leave a job where they feel valued, supported, appreciated and treated like professionals.

Really 2021? After you turned into such a disappointment, you couldn’t just leave quietly. You had to go and drag #BettyWhite with you?
