@jlkurtz That was wild!

@TolentinoTeach If zeros are assigned for missing work, the teacher should accept the assignment late, and for a grade. The point is doing the work and learning from it, and using it to build on the next concept or lesson.

In the film, Film “The Uprising” 1308 ,the peasants march through cornfields singing about corn.

What are we doing

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

Private Equity has fully encroached on Youth Sports.

They are preying on the fears of parents, convincing them that their kids are behind their peers, and forcing the kids to specialize WAY too early.

They manipulate parents into paying outrageous fees for travel teams, showcase tournaments, and bogus recruiting services.

Private Equity DOES NOT care about your kids.

They don't care about the development of young athletes.

They don't even care about sports at all.

They ONLY care about profit.

They worship the almighty dollar.

They will promise you the world while they shake you down for every penny.

Resist the grift. Push back on the lies.

Successful teams aren’t necessarily about star talent, but more often depend on “Glue” employees—the quiet leaders who make everybody else look good and rarely get rewarded for their contributions.

Christopher Nolan nailed it.

[NASA Marshall @NASA_Marshall]

An international team of astronomers using NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) have challenged our understanding of what happens to matter in the direct vicinity of a black hole.

The new understanding is thanks in large part to a measurement of a 9.1% polarization degree for black hole IGR J17091-3624, much higher than astronomers expected.

I know for some teachers this is your red line… but since we are #BackToSchool #firstdayofschool and all, just a friendly reminder to you and yours… just give or lend the kid pencil if they need it.

Thanks for coming to my #TedTalk

Amber built a nice tailgate bench out of cedar. This project is special because the tailgate came off a family member's old truck. Good job, Amber!

@MrDanielBuck GREAT administrators support and coach new teachers into being career educators, or let them know that it is not working out.

This is sorely lacking. New teachers need much more support than is often given.
