@MrCorleyMath So sorry for your loss Nick

Important reminder! 🙌

@meagan_tenia @AppomattoxS I loved seeing the obvious affection as students rushed to hug you and other staff members on stage.

Before we talk about new lab/magnet schools, can we talk about funding what we have?
Take @CodeRVA1 for example. Great things are happening there. 15 school divisions send students. However they receive no state funds (and no ESSER funds)... (1/3) 🧵

Only once one is lucky enough to experience learning without grades does it become clear in retrospect how much damage grading has done. (That's probably what Nathaniel Hawthorne was getting at when he wrote, “She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom.”)

The purpose of being a math teacher is to bring out the mathematician in our students, not show off what we know"-@howie_hua @MMCChicago #iteachmath

Feeling lucky to still love what I do. Thanks for the inspiration @gcouros

@AmyLottCCPS I can’t wait to hear how it went!

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

When kids cheat on assignments it is because they have been taught that grades outweigh the importance of knowing things. We need to fix this.

How many teachers does it take to do a subtraction problem?

One, because it only takes one teacher to make a difference.

Get these damaging timed tests out or schools. This is the beginning of math anxiety. When we are stressed our brains shut down. @joboaler #youcubed https://t.co/7Eob6a774i
