@heisereads All depends if the teacher (or parent) is from that culture or has a very close connection.

@pernilleripp Have an “English only” classroom.

@keywilliamss I teach 3rd grade and it drives me crazy that other teachers make their students keep their camera on. I only ask that if they are in a breakout room they turn their cameras on so they can talk to their peers. Oh that I may still call on them even if their camera is off.

@kruu_justin That is one of my favorite books to read aloud to students.

@JayREllis Folding my sweaters and shirts just so and refolding if they are not the same size.

USA 2020: Teachers & essential frontline workers are heroes!

USA 2022: Teachers are glorified babysitters & we have a labor shortage b/c low skill workers are lazy.

What changed? In 2021 working Americans demanded economic justice—& billionaires got upset.

We Must Not Give Up.

Here's some New Years perspective. Betty White was 3 years older than Malcolm X & 7 years older than both Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Remember, the ideals they fought for weren't in some distant past—they're a contemporary reality we must continue to fight for today

Parkland shouldn’t have happened because this should have ended after Sandy Hook and Sandy Hook shouldn’t have happened because this should have ended after Columbine.

@lindyli @SophiaBush As an adoptive parent I grieve everyday for the loss and trauma my children and their birth parents go through. Adoption has blessed my life, but it is hard for those involved and causes a lot of trauma.

407,493 kids in foster care

Amy Coney Barrett suggests that we can easily give up our kids after 9 months of forced pregnancy, which the UN calls a crime against humanity

That we won’t be haunted for life

That kids will easily find loving homes

The numbers suggest otherwise

[Anja S @as_green]

@heisereads Oh my god. I did not know this was a thing!

Quick reminder:

Kindness and justice are not synonymous.

Be kind.
And advocate and work for justice.

Lives depend on it.

It’s the season for coat, toy and food drives and volunteering at the local soup kitchen. These are important because people have needs that need help now. But it’s not so clear that participating in those is as simple and feel-good as some think 1/10

How many times did he behave egregiously, unchecked, & tacitly , even loudly, rewarded?

A person who has the power to kill doesn't just become a killer overnight.

White boys are shaped. Intentionally. By social interactions all the time everywhere.
