@SeanWeston1985 @NoFlashCards False. Reading data is different from understanding them.

@SeanWeston1985 @NoFlashCards No, the flu is not more deadly than covid. And, death isn’t the only relevant outcome.

Holiday gatherings of family and friends give parents a special chance to teach their daughters an empowering lesson: you don't owe anyone your physical affection. Here's why it's so valuable to let kids choose who they hug. https://t.co/tDENfOA8rk

Talking to PreK about consent.

"Ms Allie, Billy tried to give me a hug without asking."

"Friends, stop what you are doing, I have a question. What do you need to do before you give a friend a hug?"

All my PreK students:"Ask."

"Yes and if they say no you say OK."

"OK."

@msblackteach ‘Don't let her hurt you...Say "I don't think I want those teeth so close to me" or "Clawing hurts me. You can be mad, but you can't claw me."...But don't set yourself up to get hurt, which isn't good for either of you.’ https://t.co/FdvXgLbmu3

@shaysmi99908317 @trishalewis1983 @CNN Tell that to the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

@PoliticsInChief @mspatricia317 @CNN You don’t understand that “per capita” isn’t the only relevant statistic.

[Guide and Teach @guideandteach]

@PoliticsInChief @mspatricia317 @CNN It’s called deaths per cases; look it up.

@skinnerismyBF Discipline. When I was a parent educator, we talked a lot about how “discipline” means “guide and teach.” It does *not* require the use of physical punishment or other coercive measures in order to be effective.

Schools, stop rewarding 100% attendance. It is ableist.

@JefferyxBball As kids get older, months aren’t as important. But for young children, significant development can happen in a relatively short period; that’s why age is expressed in months.
