@FarmGirlJane_oh @HollyBriden Sweetie ... do you know what satire is? I, too, have taught -- in particular literature, as well as parody and satire.

Many adults can remember a time when they forgot something important, struggled through responsibility, or learned through mistakes. Children need opportunities to do the same — while still knowing support is available when truly needed.

Have you experienced this as a parent — or remembered it from your own childhood? The finale to the May learning series identifying end-of-year school pressures. At my Substack.

Sometimes the best math help is a moment of silence.
Productive struggle matters.

Sign. Another fundraising email from ActBlue demanding donations to fight the ballroom that TAXPAYERS are paying for (yes I get those emails because of their mistake in 2019, and didn't block them ... its enlightening to see how they frame events ... and they call us low IQ voters)

Thing is, I didn't like or trust a candidate and president we had 15-18 years ago. I kept my opinion within my household. When church members told me what a wonderful change this would be, I kept quiet. I didn't teach my students what -MY- opinion was, I taught the curriculum. When some teachers taught their pre-k/elem kids a cutesy song, I didn't storm social media to correct them of their opinion. Why must we have these health care/educational types proclaiming their hopeful violence for the world to see?
