I’m here to read. Sometimes I chime in if I think it will add value to the discussion. I’m not bitter. It’s a reference to the Lewis & Clark expedition. 🏔️

@flowidealism Even under the old standards, many teachers took several tries to pass.

@webdevMason 💯 agree that you’re never more alive than when you’re a mother. That’s an excellent way to put it. I told my daughters on Christmas that tiny moments of joy with them are more important to me than any one of life’s joys that might seem far greater.

@buttonslives You’ll be in the throes of menopause when they are teenagers. Something to think about. It’s not ideal.

That said, my regret is not having my children earlier so that I can know them for as long as possible. I’m taking great care of myself specially for them.

@AviSchiffmann Memory slightly unlocked. 😬

Bill Nye the (pseudo)Science Guy has gone all in promoting gender woo and sex pseudoscience. He wrongly equates sex chromosomes and hormone levels with sex, and promotes the unscientific (& regressive) concept of "gender identity" for kids as young as 3.

@robkhenderson From and it’s not even close! So glad my daughter convinced me to watch it.

@bryan_johnson I’ve been listening to Rich Roll’s interview with you on and off all morning. It’s fantastic. Thank you for the knowledge.

@MrDanielBuck We switched from the brilliant Singapore Math in Focus to the ridiculous Reveal curriculum.

The older I get, the clearer this gets:

Traditionalist conservatism is grounded in gratitude - towards our ancestors, our parents, & our civilization.

'Progressive Leftism' is grounded in ingratitude.

@rastokke Our school’s math specialist has trouble with 4th grade math.

[JLS @bitterrootmtns]

@FindingDebAgain Oh no. I am so sorry to hear this tragic news. Thank you for sharing it with your moms followers ♥️

[JLS @bitterrootmtns]

@jasmine_keith I’ve never watched one. I’m certain I wouldn’t make it.

[JLS @bitterrootmtns]

@MrDanielBuck I teach in an affluent district in a town that consistently makes it onto those best places to live lists. And even we have atrocious behavior.

@AnjanetteMcNee2 @MmeLockhartLDSB Where can I buy this?

[JLS @bitterrootmtns]

@eyeslasho Teachers in schools like these are told that students need game stations in order to learn math. Students need explicit instruction to learn math.

@jmasseypoet That’s an abomination not a poem.

@HippyMomPhD Kids with IQs over 110 can typically pick up sentence structure through exposure, but most kids benefit from explicit grammar lessons. Gifted children tend to be mesmerized by grammar lessons; their writing skills skyrocket with explicit instruction. (26 year veteran teacher)
