@AP A strong and compassionate spirit! RIP. Viva Desmund Tutu!

[The Associated Press @AP]

Desmond Tutu, South Africa’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist for racial justice and LGBT rights, has died at 90. An uncompromising foe of apartheid, Tutu worked tirelessly, though non-violently, for its downfall. https://t.co/DOczLTUAGb

Tell me again how important all those learning gaps are if we are not taking care of the socio-emotional + mental health needs of all of the kids. Room for connection, joy, rest, creativity, fun. We can't do anything w/o this, and we see the consequences if we don't. (we=schools)

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

I think the most frustrating part for me about being a teacher right now is that the school system is like, “You need to change everything about what you do.”

And when we’re like, “Can you maybe change a little bit to help us?”

They’re like, “Lol. Don’t be stupid.”

How Flint closed the gap between Black and white suffering under COVID https://t.co/HWrlFNjnuV via @MotherJones This article would pair well 4 discussion with previously posted article on CRT (Mother Jones Sept-Oct issue "Forbidden Knowledge" - Anthony Conwright) A story of hope!

Today it's critical race theory. 200 years ago it was abolitionist literature. https://t.co/7BtTnUU1nw via @MotherJones Great article! Explains the power and weight of history and gives insight to the intricacies of institutional racism.

@GovPhilScott I understand this is difficult but it is WRONG not to vaccinate teachers now. They all deserve protection AND an unqualified show of support #VTed #bsdvt

[Amy B Demarest @abdemarest]

@DeeleyVt @GovPhilScott @danfrench This decision should be reconsidered!!! VACCINATE TEACHERS NOW!!!! #bsdvt #VTed

Good idea! "We should take a page from the Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo the curriculum, discarding the many topics that have accumulated like old souvenirs, while retaining essential knowledge ..topics that spark joy." https://t.co/kGoGAkFXGZ
