“hours spent choosing the right word & rearranging sentences to better follow one another are what teach you how meaning is conveyed…Having students write essays isn’t merely a way to test their grasp of the material; it gives them experience in articulating their thoughts.”

Maybe this explains some things…

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

In the last 25 years, wages for college graduates have risen 28%. Wages for teachers during the same period, only 2%.

We’re calling on states and districts to increase teacher pay. It’s time our teachers saw the support and pay they deserve.

Livable wage = Respect.

Still a good question: “Was it the town where nearly 200 townspeople had joined those restive veterans to be arrested on the green? Or was it the one where more than 5000 people had turned out to make sure that no homes for poor people would be built?” https://t.co/Ij3IHDkOPr

This morning, Zelenskyy gave updates to U.S. Senators on a Zoom chat. The Ukrainian ambassador requested that nobody share anything on social media during the meeting. Sens. Rubio and Daines posted screenshots from the Zoom anyway, putting Zelenskyy’s life at risk.

@dunneteach Sherrylin Ifill, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, is a rock star!

Can say the same about teaching…and probably a thousand other jobs

[Will Gilson @wdgilson]

But I think the worst part about running restaurants during a once in a lifetime deadly pandemic is that it makes me feel like I’m bad at my job. Despite everything I’ve listed I still love what I do and I hate that this makes me feel like everything I do is meaningless.

This year's 🎃historical figure that the ladies (plus Mr. David!) of Lexington High Social Studies are paying tribute to is Kathrine Switzer, who ran the Boston Marathon in 1967 when women were not permitted. She evaded assault by race officials with the help of fellow runners.

Imagine if the State used resources appropriately and the already trainined Lexington Firefighter/Paramedics could administer the vaccines to Lexington Educators over a five-day period at the Lexington High School Field House? @LexEDAssoc

RIP turkey. I love my fellow Somervillans: “Some people even held a “turkey send-off,” and at 8 p.m. on Sunday went out onto their front steps and gobbled in tribute.”https://t.co/CKbQ24rwbM via @BostonGlobe
