@DrNeilStone Maybe it’s all of the heroin?

@drclairetaylor We use a coffee pot for coffee, so we can make a bunch at a time. For tea, the kettle goes on the stovetop for most people.

@UConnHuskies Horrible call. May not have made the last shot, but horrible call.

15 years ago I thought paperless classrooms were the future. Now I think they're an overhyped edtech dystopia. Students need tactile reading and writing experiences, which research shows leads to deeper, more sustained learning. #bfc530

@MadiSP4321 @COSBulldog Yes to this!!!

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

I always tell my students that every, single lesson I teach is not going to be super exciting, or unbelievably engaging. Some stuff will be the “boring” learning or work that just needs to get done. This is not social media. This is real life.

@PennyFeeney @OnondagaM Ooh, new books!

@mrbgilson @heymrsbond @LRGiles Fake ID by @LRGiles is a good one that is popular with students, too!

@heymrsbond “Untitled” by James Baldwin. It’s beautiful to hear, read, visualize, and think about.

@locksanti @bethcteach @JoelRGarza @Lyricalswordz @miss_ampersand This is an amazing book! It would be great with 9th graders.

@Barbaradee2 I can’t even count how many times my three children borrowed this from the library. Unbelievable how foolish some of these bans are.

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Fortunately that's not what's happening here. Trump will receive due process. He'll get a trial. He'll have the right to appeal. He's arguably the most powerful criminal defendant in American history.
