And the anchor on the news...And the weatherman...And the QB...And the commentator...And everyone except the ONE Black person.

The point is: THEY GET TO CHOOSE!

The only way to stop a Black child from ingesting this inescapable harm is to LITERALLY insulate them from whiteness

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

They can't comprehend because, even if there's 1 bad characterization of whiteness, there are ONE HUNDRED other characters in the book. Even when the villain in the TV show is white, so is the hero...And the hero's sidekick...And the lawyer...And the cop...And judge...

@horner_tweets @XQAmerica Ah! This is awesome!!!

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

Why do we continue to insist that teachers can work miracles within a broken system, if only they rely on the data and research, rather than insist on fixing the system itself?

[Jennifer Haston-Maciejewski @mrs_haston]

I wonder if #maslowbeforebloom applies to teachers this year? 🤔

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

This year is hard. My goals are to be kind to my students, coworkers, and self. My kindness will not wear itself in a smile, but in compassion & honesty. I am not here to be a superhero. We will learn math in a space that is safe enough to acknowledge the burdens carried into it.

@Mack1720 @Altair4_2381 @Freeyourmindkid There is no such thing as an easy fix. Every choice has a domino effect.

@horner_tweets I just saw this! Senior prom! Is it too late to pass it on @ashweestraws https://t.co/SqtHiM39fB

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

I know I'm in the right job when my stress level goes from 15 out of 10 to 0 just by talking to my students.

First webex office hours was small, but so good for my soul.

I need to apologize now. I just got on tiktok for the first time... and i can't not overwhelm your inbox with these videos!

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

I had a chance to go by shawneemissionnorthwest today. I gave it a hug from 6 feet away because I miss it so much, but also want to be responsible with social distancing.

Until august😭

@donnaped24 I have loved your attitude throughout this whole process! You really know how to turn a "problem" into an opportunity!

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

@StrasserMathNW @Smwvikingsoccer I am laughing... but also feel sad?

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

After seeing my own face several times on webex today, I've decided that this is a terrible time to have bangs.

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

@horner_tweets @StrasserMathNW 5 jobs I had before education...
1. Baby Sitter (not to brag but i was certified)
2. Dairy Queen
3. Hostess
4. Nanny
5. Tutor

@TimothyVermeer how about you??

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

To my ones of followers:
I hope you all are healthy and well!
I miss your actual faces.

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

One chapter into what I'm sure will be my favorite book from grad school. Now partway into a new project to better facilitate group work. Pumped to try it out Friday!

We aren't waiting to model math at the end of our unit. We are working in groups to visualize what this math is doing in the world around us while also practicing our skills. @ Shawnee Mission Northwest https://t.co/lvBz6XnSEd

“A New Definition of #Rigor.
Rigor doesn't simply mean giving students more or harder work. Instead, it's the result of work that challenges students' thinking in new and interesting ways.”

@TimothyVermeer Im ashamed to admit how long it took to find this response!

[Hailey Hughes @mathroom219]

@TimothyVermeer how does one twitter? My average is about .8 tweets a month currently. Looking to bump that to 1?
