“It is quite possible—overwhelmingly probable … that we will always learn more about human life and personality from novels than from scientific psychology.” (Chomsky, 1988, Language & Problems of Knowledge p. 159).

[Barry B. @justbarryb]

Stephen King is correct.

You can’t ban books and then scream about cancel culture.

@SurthrivEDU Awesome, I can totally use this!

@cultofpedagogy @phsmendoza You have 24 hours to get this information into the right hands, Theresa!

I wonder how often their teachers read literary texts outside of school. 🤔 Teachers who don’t read won’t really foster that in their students, either.

[Carol Jago @CarolJago]

Lower-performing NAEP 12th graders scored very poorly with literary texts.

50% said they either never or only once or twice a year read stories outside school. https://t.co/3rrP7w1TpW

What if Bezos gave every student 3 e-book credits?

I’ve got a fantastic stack of books, but what are you all listening to right now? Favorite artists, playlists, stations, etc.? https://t.co/TBGtM6wk0G

@WeAreTeachers We’re short subs. Again.

@BetteMidler Fairy tales taught us hubris never wins in the end. He’d have known that if he ever read a book.

[Mental Floss @mental_floss]

Because sometimes periods, commas, colons, semicolons, dashes, hyphens, apostrophes, question marks, exclamation points, quotation marks, brackets, parentheses, braces, and/or ellipses won't do.

@ishaantharoor You need to be Kim or Kanye to get his full attention, which shows you what he values. To this day, I’ve yet to see him show sincere compassion to anyone, at all.

[Heather McIntosh @EngWithMac]

@AlbroMark And yet he’s all ears when Kim or Kanye want to chat and make pleas. Tells us what gets his attention, no?

@BarackObama Even though you may not have the official title anymore, thank you for continuing to inspire, care, and encourage us the way you did as our president. We need it now, more than ever. Real leadership, an understanding of community, compassion - we miss you so much.
