We can't starve our public schools and then punish them for failing.

It's simple: Public dollars are for public schools.

This is my current favorite #edublog. Worked with @jmattmiller in the past when we were both presenting at conferences; he’s as down-to-earth & kind as he is *muy* smart, superstar teacher, tech guru & AMAZING presenter. 10/10

I love this SO MUCH @WNBA

[Owen Siebring @owensiebring]

"She's one of the biggest players in the world right now. But she doesn't act like that. She's just like 'help me'."
This story is so sweet. Erica Wheeler and Caitlin Clark will be trying for the same starting spot this season. But Wheeler, a 10-year WNBA vet has taken Caitlin under her wing, and tried to be the first one to welcome her to the team.

On a personal note: as a kid who started at a new school when I was in 7th grade, this sentiment resonates a whole lot. I've never forgotten the first people who made me feel welcome, and were kind to me.

[Amy C. Lyons @ewematter2]

I can’t think of a more bittersweet story but empathy and selflessness win the day.

To be a great teacher you sometimes have to humble yourself and put yourself in your student’s shoes.

This is precious! Love your heart for all our students, @Amy_BakerLMS

[Amy Rogers Baker @Amy_BakerLMS]

I noticed one of our ML students engrossed in a Spanish version of Dog Man she checked out from the library @WilkersonElem. It broke my heart when I had to tell her to close her book so she didn’t fall up the stairs. #booksforall #jcaslky #jcpslibraries #bestjobever @JCPS_LMS
