Currently, it's easy to predict who will be "successful" in America. The formula is resources over time. Don't believe me? Test it out for yourself.

Even with all educators are going through, @JUHSD1 educators continue to push to. make their systems of grading more equitable! It was great working with y'all today. @CrescendoEdGrp @EquitySmith @JoeCFeldman #gradingforequity

@EquitySmith But like... Where's mine?

[Mark Boswell @MarkRBoswell]

Today I heard an educator (who is also a parent) talking about hw and he asked, "How much of my family's time should each of my kid's teachers be able to have each night?"and I felt that one in my chest.

While I understand the importance of saftey, part of me is worried that with the deletion of Trump's tweets, it will be another example of erasure that harms black people. Maybe not now, but later down the line because some people are already trying to rewrite history.
