@nicolelampert I particularly loved this sentence, which I thought sums the “pro-Palestinian” views so well: “This is why these conversations are impossible. You keep retreating into facts.”

@nicolelampert Whether real or not, it hits the mark.

Nature made a jellyfish that looks like a fried egg

Its bright yellow dome resembles a yolk, and unlike many jellyfish, its sting is very mild.

This is the foundation of the problem. Platner was a fraud and an astroturf candidate recruited to play a role. They might as well have gone to Hollywood if they had wanted a real actor. At least that would have been genuine.

@tomloveless99 @natmalkus We are constantly being asked to ignore this important factor in student success. And chronic lateness can have an impact just as big as full-on lateness. Some districts are masking the impact through accounting mischief.

So many good things in education depend on repetition and habits. When K-3 attendance suffers, it's because adults have adopted some bad habits--and they are passing them on to their kids.

Kudos to @natmalkus for staying with this topic.

@DavidAFrench His gratitude is a remarkable inspiration and lesson.

That's incredible news. Continuing to pray!

@dylanwiliam @MrLeeBates @Doug_Lemov @SoLInTheWild Precisely -- what exactly is an "intention"?

Intention for an adolescent is composed of dozens and dozens of components of motivation. Self-regulation, self-management -- over and over and over.

Checking some "do you intend to learn" option on a survey is not enough.

"Dismantle the Zionist war machine."

In London 🇬🇧, commuters see underground ads displaying anti-Zionist messaging.

I have never seen anything so akin to 1930s propaganda.
