Can we please stop “modeling” classroom strategies during professional development as if teachers are students in the room?
Do we really need to find our “sole partner,” complete another icebreaker, and pretend we’re in a simulated lesson?

Veteran teachers are the backbone of education. They’ve endured all the reasons some teachers leave the field. They also survived the latest programs, initiatives, & testing. They have much wisdom, experience & expertise if leaders are willing to listen. Value & appreciate them!
@MPowersNorrell@barnacle_bish I had not heard about the other fruits until reading comments in this thread. I am not sure the truth of what happened will ever be known. I go back and forth. I do believe that if it was an intruder, it was someone who knew them or of Jon Benet. Not random.
@MPowersNorrell@barnacle_bish I feel like the pineapple is the key. Perhaps there was an accident involving Burke or Patsy over the pineapple. I also find it strange that neighbors invited over that morning said Patsy was acting more like there had been death than frantic about her child missing
@MPowersNorrell I am intrigued by the pineapple. When did she eat this? Who got it for her? Seems to support that it wasn’t an intruder. Like maybe something happened over the whole pineapple thing.
