Just heard something so powerful: I always believed in God without realizing HE believes IN me. He’s not God of a mountain I have to climb up to; he reaches down to touch me. #thechosen

At the height of his success, Lucado was living a double life and secretly struggling with alcohol. He shares how he hit rock bottom and found forgiveness in God. https://t.co/BU4swRiaG3

Let’s not hold back from showing the wonder of who Jesus is and the kind of otherworldly community He creates.

Regardless of Israel's response I give the liberal media and many world leaders a few days before they start to ask Israel for restraint. Israel has every right to defend themselves, and if they choose, to destroy their sworn enemy. World leadership is at an all time low.

[Bruce Pearl @coachbrucepearl]

The Biden Admin funded Hamas in Gaza, the PA in Judea and Samaria and most importantly Iran, who is behind it all. Our rhetoric and support for Israel's sworn enemies emboldened and empowered them. Citizens of Israel, 3 million Arabs and 6 million Jews live with this threat daily

😁Difficult but definitely worth it! 😄

@Amy_Lissa I did cry. Like three times. And then once more. 😅 #iykyk

This is a great study technique that I’ll be sharing with my students.

6️⃣4️⃣ Hours. On Monday mornings, this is how long it has been since some kids have had any positive interaction with an adult. Whether you are a teacher, bus driver, custodian, principal, or _______, how you greet your kids in the morning matters. Be the light! #multiplyexcellence

A truly inspiring increase in AP English Literature scores this year, the result of years of effort from AP teachers and an accumulation of powerful data from colleges on how well AP students are performing in further college English courses after placing out of the intro course:

🚨NEWS: We have a deal. Today a bipartisan group of 20 Senators (10 D and 10 R) is announcing a breakthrough agreement on gun violence - the first in 30 years - that will save lives.

I think you’ll be surprised at the scope of our framework.

How we treat others truly matters. 🧡

[Revolving_Door_Admin @RAD_is_awesome]

Teachers,
Please complete the bell-schedule survey by selecting one of the three options for next year. Also, administration will be going with the fourth option that you won't know about until your return for August PD.

[That ELA teacher @saneELAteacher]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: it blows my mind how manageable a class is when I have 4-5 less students in it.

[Nonya Business @4NonyaBusiness]

Teachers are expected to fix all the ills of society and failed parenting yet simultaneously have their expertise disregarded, professionalism and dedication denigrated, and personal character questioned.

Gee... wonder why so many teachers are quitting.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

The craziest thing about teaching high school is having to do such an extreme range of tasks in a day. Today:

- I had a conversation about contemporary art w/ a student

- I wrote a recommendation letter

- I edited a resume

- I broke up a fight over a game of Uno.

School culture is not created by a mission statement on a wall, but it is created and lived out daily by everyone in the school building.
