I fully support this 0pinion piece: A call for rejecting the newest reading wars

Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day.

Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.

One form, now another; one configuration, now another. / Like fossils locked deep in the folds of my brain, / outliving a time by telling its story. Like stars.

The art of teaching often hangs upon asking the next question.

[Katrina Ayoub Hansen @k_ayoubhansen]

Reading "Story Workshop" by @sharrismackay and she directed me to this absolutely stunning poem by Loris Malaguzzi who founded the Reggio Emilia Approach. So relevant and powerful. #EDchat #ReggioEmilia #storyworkshop

To truly listen to another person requires something of a crucifixion. I must undergo a painful process of leaving what is familiar territory (my perspective on the matter) and make space in my heart for a different narrative.—Rich Villodas, #renovarebookclub @richvillodas

We should be teaching young Americans how to think, not what to think.

[Dr Eugenia Cheng --no advice please-- @DrEugeniaCheng]

Thinking about the fact that to explain subject X to person A you need to understand both subject X and also person A. I think there's often not enough focus on understanding the person.

As one epidemiologist put it to me, "For every surge in Covid deaths, there will be a surge in Covid orphanhood."

@LJenkins_NBE @HumbleISD_NBE Luly, I love seeing the pictures of your students! They are so fortunate to have you as their teacher❣️

[Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX]

I’m not even mad at the lack of self awareness or hypocrisy anymore. At this point it’s just hilarious. These people are a giant joke.
