I grew up very poor. I excelled in school and enjoyed much of it, but there were two particularly hard days, every year: the first day of school and the first day after Christmas break.
Those are the two days that poor kids feel the poorest.
Please teach your kids to be kind.

We did not fight and win two world wars just to have @FOXSoccer give us #WomensWorldCup2023 shot distance in meters and shot speed in kilometers per hour. 🤷🏻♂️
@BillyTownsendEd @SteeleThoughts @JamaalBowmanNY I think I appreciate your point, but there are actually some of us who do NOT think about test scores as proxies for achievement. When I use “achievement gap,” I’m looking at other outcomes entirely. I agree that test score gaps are problematic — but that’s baked into the tests.
I’ve taken several extended hiatuses over the years, but this weekend I plan to permanently shut down all of my twitter accounts. That shouldn’t (and won’t) matter to “the twitterverse.” I get that. 2/4
@Jules4Ever@SteeleThoughts Yes! Absolutely. And that crucial “loves all the time” part at the end keeps that teacher firmly in the “teachers who like kids” category.
Uff. This is a gut punch.

I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. I actually taught @justdemi how to RT, back when that involved keystrokes, rather than a button. (Of course, she and I had different handles back then. The only thing that hasn’t changed is that she still doesn’t know who I am. 💔) 1/4
However, if you happen to be one of those precious folks with whom I am only connected via twitter and you would like to remain connected, please DM me so that we can make alternate arrangements. I ain’t trynta ghost nobody. 3/4
