Happy first week back at school, @SomosScott! It was wonderful to see so many excited students and @PPSconnect teachers this morning — I was so impressed by the preparations they've made to bring students safely back into the classroom. Let's finish the school year strong!

@realDonaldTrump Hey Mr. President! 3 of your states are burning!!!! Are you not President of the entire United States? What is wrong with you!?

I can’t stop laughing...

@KerriMPR Preschool in Oregon: Our public schools are closed until at least 4/28. We are not sure whether we should close or not. Front line workers need daycare access while working, but we can't control all our parents and siblings contacts outside of preschool. What to do?

Proud of my @StateDept colleagues who have shown the true meaning of public service. In my better than three decades serving both Repub and Dem administrations, have never seen anything like what is going on now. #FSProud @afsatweets

Miss you Mom.

[Library-Ann Reader @bertonann]

Yeah, that's my brother! I could not be more proud.

@dhudgins I am so sorry Darren. Just remember how much your dog loved you too!

@DianeRavitch CC pushed standards that Used to be age appropriate for 1st grade down onto the kinders, thus causing kinder to become entirely academic. I have seen it since CC started and in every grade since, our kids don't know how to get along after missing kinder socialization. Epic Fail.

“The provision of a rich supply of high-interest storybooks is a much more feasible policy for improving English learning than any pious pronouncements about the urgent need to raise teacher quality. ” (Francis Mangubhai and Warwick Elley, 1982)

Story listening alone more efficient than story listening traditional vocabulary activities.

In the last 40 years, corporations have squeezed everything they can out of workers while giving massive compensation to those on top.

The result: half of Americans have virtually no wealth and live paycheck to paycheck.

We’re going to create an economy that works for all.

[Stephen Krashen @skrashen]

Many of Bernie Sander’s positions are called “socialist.” They seem to me to be uncontroversial positions that the democratic party should support, eg a living wage for competent work, affordable health care and housing, etc.

@PortlAndrew Ah, then it is still worth it.
