I couldn’t say this any better…thank @suptdrmccormick for being a voice for IN Educators & Students 🤝

If 90% of Indiana’s K12 education bills died, Hoosiers would be better for it.

Process that…

Dear Indiana Legislative Session 2022,

We know how this story will end for IN.

Here’s your… “We told you so” notice.

Sincerely,

75K Educators (representing 92 counties). 🤦🏼‍♀️

Jus sat down and enjoyed a Yummy goodie from a student. I felt so spoiled this week from students, staff, and admin...after a really crazy year it was a nice reminder of why I love my Husky Family 🐾🧡🤍🤎🐾

@art_mrs_goodman He’s the best isn’t he... mines on top. I ❤️ it because it looks like a galaxy!

@hhmslmc These action shots are awesome ❤️🐐

If your freshman GOP legislator uses the “year one” excuse to defend his/her votes against public education, he/she does not deserve a second term.

There is no excuse for voting against 94% of Hoosier kids.

[Kara Doenges @KaraDoenges]

@_adverbia @cultofpedagogy Thanks for sharing, I was going to try this for our first lab this week. How many at home kids did you have with that group?
I’ve been averaging about 7-10 kids on Zoom and worries if I add them all 1 in person group it might be too many.
