Donald Trump won because he offered a majority of Americans what they wanted: anger and drama, @RadioFreeTom writes in The Atlantic Daily. But those who expect that Trump will hurt others, and not them, are likely to be unpleasantly surprised. https://t.co/iJHZrF0ufr

@heymrsbond I wasn’t able to read until my kids got older and even now I really only have the brain power for fluff except in the summer.

Burnout isn't about hours worked.

In fact, there are usually much deeper causes.

Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring,

And take steps to help.

What’s happening in America today is something darker than a misinformation crisis, @cwarzel writes. It's a cultural assault on any person or institution that operates in reality. https://t.co/3581kwNrje

@heymrsbond I don’t get paid much but at age 50 it’s like a lateral move salary wise plus the adults thing. However I am very very tired. 🫠

On the surface, things are improving, better attendance, fewer phones, better test scores. But fundamentally we are still past the tipping point. Fewer people becoming teachers. More expectations every year, stagnant pay, and laws and policies that are not on our side

@johnlk_80 I am fortunate that our school does a lot of full novels and plays. Some YA as choice books in 9, 10 and then a nice mix of classic and contemporary complex classics in older grades. My dual enrollment kids do Shakespeare and Morrison, Baldwin and Erdrich, etc. They do well.

My classes will get you ready to read books in college. 😎

Professors at elite colleges told me that their students no longer arrive prepared to read books. One said his class struggles to focus on a sonnet. Phones are an obvious culprit. But the bigger cause might be what's happening in middle and high schools: https://t.co/kJXBnkfsIa

@CoachDame_BSM In public schools a lot of this is tied to standardized testing. We’ve been fortunate at BSM to avoid that trend and I can say our kids read almost all full length books 9-12 with stories, poems, plays, and essays mixed in.

There are actually 7 types of rest we need,
