What a moment for our country and for women of color in particular.

The first Latina Supreme Court Justice,
Sonia Sotomayor, administers the oath of office to the Vice President Kamala Harris, the first black, South Asian, and woman to hold this office.

Reply if you have more recommendations! In high school, the possibilities are endless!

Math teachers: Go to https://t.co/mTw4VRFJKz and click “visualizations”. See replies for recommendations specific to grade level. Talk to kids about why this data is important and why it hasn’t always been available #edreform #mathchat #culturallyresponsiveteaching #education

No questions on the shutdown of the nation’s school system and the millions of kids with essentially no current access to organized education.

Listen. The amount of mind Olympics Kamala has to do to not come across as angry, emotional, combative but also be firm, warm, honest, direct ...all while this mf’er is straight up lying and gaslighting her.

Whew. The strength and the talent of Black women.

As soon as Pence started denying the existence of systemic racism, the fly got him! #VPDebate

So let’s not blame Common Core. We can give our kids a better math education than we had. We don’t need to do things the way they’ve always been done just bc that’s how it’s always been done.

Especially not in the name of “high expectations” or “closing the achievement gap”

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

Virtual school should not mimic school held in-person. They certainly can be similar, but they are not the same. 7 hours in front of a screen is not learning, it’s punishment.

@mikiebarb @DanaGoldstein @nytimes There were many problems with today’s reporting on The Daily about teachers. See below for the most problematic parts #teachertwitter #teachercon2020 #TeachingintheWake #teachfromhome

Finally, you fail to address the root of this dilemma: our country relies on its schools to provide food, healthcare, & childcare for our kids & families.Our SYSTEM is broken.We have chosen to devalue schools throughout the history of this country, & now we are paying for it.
