The only time I enjoyed school was when I enjoyed the teacher. Even if I hated the subject, the teacher made it worthwhile. In education, relationships matter most.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

One of the hardest parts of being an educator is the lack of down time. You have to be on all day long. This is mentally and physically draining.

You never really appreciate someone until they are gone… unfortunately, by that time it’s too late.

Tom Brady got one taste of what it's like to help kids with math homework and decided to return to being tackled by the largest men in the world.

If every legislator subbed once a month… or once a year even… some things might change.

Let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next.

@NicholasFerroni Thanks, very relatable. I’m a 20 year Vet, I understand and empathize.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Acting is tough... BUT teaching is like putting on 6 improv shows a day, where the audience talks and constantly interrupts you, and the audience has to pass a test at the end to ensure that they were paying attention.

What inflection points have you witnessed in your life?

For me, Challenger, 9/11, and COVID-19.

Moments where the arc of our lives seemed to change course.

We may not raise a test score when we show empathy for a student… but our compassion can change a kid’s life.

Thank you

When I was a public school teacher, I struggled to make ends meet.

My coworkers drove Ubers at night and sold their blood plasma for extra money.

Today I filed a bill mandating a minimum salary of $70,000 for every teacher in Texas. #txlege

@jamestalarico Thank you

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I think the best education is driven by curiosity.

So how do teachers cultivate curiosity?

I had a meal inside a restaurant for the first time since March 6 of last year. My wife and I ate in the company of friends who also have been vaccinated. I’m left feeling grateful for having gotten to this point yet so sad for the souls we have lost & the suffering of so many.
