Words of wisdom from the janitor at work on the value of education: "I tell my children that the pen weighs less than the shovel. There's nothing wrong with a shovel, but tell me, which one would you rather hold at high noon?"

"As a teacher, I felt that if I didn't make an effort to pronounce their name correctly, it showed I didn't care about who they were."

For #ELLs, a mispronounced name is often the first of many slights they experience in classrooms: https://t.co/RKuffGokvW

As @theCamiAnderson points out, this same report shows women are grossly underrepresented in Superintendent positions, and their tenures are shorter. Huge gap is even more evident when contrasted with data showing that 3 out of every 4 public school teachers in the US are female.

[Juan Pablo Martínez @jpmartinez]

New report from the @BroadCenter shows the average school superintendent tenure is twice as long as previously believed, at least for the 100 largest districts in the US. https://t.co/9mr1qf9Mqg
