@tonykatz @MattINTraffic I can't even imagine mornings without hearing him. He was a role model to those who traveled similar paths and a stunning example of what you always say, Tony... the only way out is through. He will be missed 😢

@UnderdogWNBA White privilege is just an excuse, in this case, for foul behavior.

@tonykatz @realDonaldTrump Hunter was high during that interview. No doubt.

@tonykatz @93wibc Rod Stewart... Maggie Mae... God awful.

@WTHRcom I'd like to know why the staff at the child care center in Fishers, who witnessed child abuse, didn't get fired along with the perpetrator. In Indiana, child care staff are mandated reporters of child abuse. Instead, they kept their jobs and are still working there. NOPE.

[Deb Pierce @easycda]

@raepica1 Essentially, getting back to basics. But, no one seems to see the value of that anymore.

@RobMKendall Trying to understand why, in the case of the abuse in the Fishers child care recently, the co-teacher... Who witnessed this abuse for months, was not also fired. In Indiana, child care personnel are mandated reporters of abuse. Who dropped the ball here????

@raepica1 Yes! And, education is the key. If we don't ensure ALL of the Early Childhood workforce is properly educated, our providers will never earn respect or a worthy wage.

@raepica1 How long have we been saying, "Power to the Profession" and absolutely nothing has come of it.

[Deb Pierce @easycda]

@raepica1 For many parents, team sports is just another way for someone else (besides themselves) to spend time with and supervise their children). Geesh.

@earlyplay Someone had to pay for a study to determine something we've known forever? Sometimes this stuff just amazes me.

[Deb Pierce @easycda]

@raepica1 I'm afraid it's never going to change because the decision-makers are always going to see ECE as merely scaled down elementary school.
