Go ahead, real the whole article. I'm warning you, @realScottPeters may have been pounding his head on the desk, but I was throwing up a little bit, so you may want an empty stomach and/or soft desk. #gtchat

@John84Hendrick @RobBrydon Have you read the book by Brock Eide called The Dyslexic Advantage?

Sadly so often in schools children with dyslexia never hear that they are often able to think in ways others cannot.

Today in Y6 we looked at poems that could be read forwards & backwards. I was stunned by this one written by one of my 10 year olds. Please share - I would love her work to be appreciated further afield. I wonder if it could even find a publisher?

"Up to 40 percent of low-income students who are accepted to college in the spring never make it to the first day of class in the fall. They’re stymied by tuition sticker shock, Kafkaesque paperwork requirements and a quiet, corrosive feeling that they don’t belong." Highered

@jessicaaconnor @SashaShillcutt Part of the recipe-claiming the value of yourself &sanctioning-mandating OFF time ie Turning OFF cell during dinner, or after a set time at night... stopping email after say 6-7pm at night. Can you claim this for yourself?Yes?others will see you & follow example thus #leadership

Happy Tangy Tuesday! Here's a grade 2 puzzle that gives kids practice with order of operations & develops computational & reasoning skills. Guess & check OK as a starting point, but we want kids to communicate their reasons & logic in journals & out loud.. https://t.co/J7j4idB7aR

There's a lot going on right now—understatement of the year.

The separation of families and the failure of the administration to reunite them has been eclipsed in the news in recent days, but these tragic circumstances persist.

Here are some of the latest developments:

[ACLU @ACLU]

Reminder: The consequences of family separation will far out-last this administration.

Watch one family's reunion after months of separation. #FamiliesBelongTogether

"He looked like a duck, he often quacked like a duck, but try as we might we could not get him to swim like a duck… because he wasn’t a duck."

Very high IQ children are different - but too many are labelled on the autism spectrum

Many gifted folks have great memory skills. It comes in handy when studying for tests--Not so much when you remember every rude thing that’s been said to you!

[A Hawthorne Allen @Dr_H_physics]

Absolutely!!! This is a substantially underserved group! Help this group know and understand and then the next generation of children won't grow up suffering so much for the ignorance of adults! https://t.co/Ml2J2mGNb5
