Ain’t no tired like the Friday evening after the first week of school tired.

[Julia E. Torres (MAEd., MA, MLIS) @juliaerin80]

Good morning to all educators who took the time this week to check in with (rather than lecture) the child who has been labeled or judged as one who, "doesn't care" about their education. These children can teach us so much when we let them, and really listen...

Friendships are vital. But they can't be reached by shortcut:
- It takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend,
- An additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend,
- And a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.

The president is an unindicted co-conspirator in federal crimes and he has nominated someone to the Supreme Court who believes a sitting president should never be indicted.

Retweet if you agree that Kavanaugh’s hearings should be delayed until these investigations are completed.

[aeriale celebrates native heritage month @arcticisleteach]

Every school year (this is my 21st) I come to understand the power of building relationships with students more deeply! They are everything. Even if your pedagogy is “perfect,” if you don’t get to know students you cannot really teach them because you are not learning from them.

That is why I did not put anything into #TheHandmaidsTale that had not happened somewhere... including the snatching of children from their parents. Believable? Alas yes. https://t.co/VGw8LkiCIV
