@JohnFea1 What a generous offer!

@BenSzalinski @GovPritzker I don’t understand SDG’s response. It seems like this would prevent school closures in all neighborhoods. I would think that would be a good thing.

@perry314181 They just need to go bankrupt already.

@CATranslation @PHLschools This is a great opportunity! I wish I was in Philly to take part!

Middle Level Educators are struggling with the dramatic changes in young adolescents. It is hard to engage &connect with kids. They are easy to anger, struggle with emotions, lost their filter regarding respect and have a lack of focus in school. Time for new ideas and solutions

@PubliusorPerish This would be my dream class to teach. One day.

We are so grateful for the support of Clearing Library. Librarians in local libraries are treasures; we are so grateful for their support in our school! This year’s history fair projects will be stellar!

[Brandon Barr @bbarr60]

Thank you for coming to speak to our classes today; our students had a lot of good questions. Kids left with more knowledge about farming and a better idea of how growing food is a healthy choice for themselves and others. Thank you @growinghome

@RodRobinsonRVA This is really unfortunate. I enjoyed reading the book with my students last year and learned a lot from it myself.

[Brandon Barr @bbarr60]

So many good moments today! Kids sang a spontaneous happy birthday song for me. A kid that I taught remotely snuck over to the other side of the building because she “just wanted to finally meet me for real.” And we finished our first SS unit; look at these Neolithic villages!

I am not sure how much George W. Bush has a hand in authoring the speeches that he gives, but they are generally rhetorically solid and pleasant to the ear. I can also appreciate his statesmanship as a former president.

@WhiteRhinoRay What values support opposition? Is there an opportunity for an opposing group to “save face” during periods of change? How can we work in coalition?
