🚫 Myth busted: Tailoring instruction to students’ preferred “learning styles” has no scientific backing. Watch to see what other learning myths it’s time to ditch—and what you should do instead.

Metro at Hopedale only allows 1 rapid test kit per customer, ever. https://t.co/iobD0BZOsx says “…participating grocery and pharmacy locations will provide free rapid tests while supplies last, with a limit of one box of five tests per household per visit.” Which is it?

Good idea - crappy implementation. Are there limits to how many people can take? This was the Metro near me at 9:45 this morning.

Free rapid tests. In the mail. For everyone. What a brilliant concept. Less uncertainty. More empowerment. Would really love to see this in Canada 🇨🇦. #RapidTestsForAll
