Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else.

"I wouldn’t trust the U.S. secretary of percussion to tell me how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit if they had never sat behind a drum set, so why should any teacher trust Sec of Education Betsy DeVos to tell them how to teach, without her ever having sat at the head of a class?"

Look at the coronavirus protocols for pro athletes (tests every other day, temperature checks twice a day, group quarantining).

Then look at the protocols for schools (handwashing, stay home if you’re sick).

Imagine if we valued the lives of teachers the same as MLB shortstops.
