I wrote a book about concentration camps all over the world across the last century, and it turns out that getting to the abducting-political-opponents-in-vans stage is bad sign.

Advice from a historian in the Boston area: Start keeping a journal today, ideally a hand written one if that’s within your ability. Write about what you’re seeing in the news, how yr friends are responding, what is closed in yr neighborhood or city or state or country. Save it.

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows?

Here is some research for you "there is no average time to learn something" and each kid isn't the same so why act like it

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

Tchrs who listen to kids’ conversations, observe their projects, & read their writing don't need to use tests. But this assumes kids have a chance to converse, design projects, & write. If they just listen to lecs & do wksheets, there’s not much authentic learning to BE assessed

@Ms_C_Allen @UCL_Holocaust @MrsMoEnglish1 @HolocaustUK I couldn’t agree more with this tweet, and yet, well-meaning and misinformed teachers keep using it. Every Holocaust PD I lead, I ask teachers not to use this text.

I'm here as the official advocate for gray hair to say let it go gray. Stop spending money on your hair. Do some push-ups. Become a competitive lasagna eater. Write a book. Climb a mountain. Pet a dog. You will always be so much more interesting than your hair.

@andreapitzer Preach!

[Archive: Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester]

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should call the Senate back to session to address bipartisan background check legislation that would help keep guns out of the hands of court adjudicated mentally ill, criminals and terrorists. 2/2

[Andrea Pitzer @andreapitzer]

As a rule, by the time a society establishes concentration camps, a significant minority of the population is not only willing to tolerate the brutality of the camps but also *wants* them and believes them to be necessary. These people are unlikely to revise their opinion.
