POV: It’s the first day of school and your new teacher greets you at the door with excitement (picture 1) while giving you the proudest look you’ve ever received (picture 2). #CCSRISE2022 🤩 ✨ RETWEET if you will be THAT teacher!!
I'm giving away 30 signed copies of This Is a School for a classroom teacher or teacher-librarian to give away to students on the first day of school. RT before 7/20 at 11:00 p.m. CDT to enter the drawing. https://t.co/3pUbVaAF9s
I'm sure NC DPI demanding that I pay "several thousands of dollars" in advance of continued compliance with state public records law is unrelated to the fact that I've been publishing documents that are highly embarrassing and damaging to DPI and SBE leadership. Right? 🤔

According to the Governor of Texas, the gunman who killed at least 15 people in Uvalde is an 18-year-old who lives in the community. He had a handgun and may have been armed with a rifle, too.
In 2021, Texas lawmakers lowered the age to carry a handgun to 18. #txlege
There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.
I’m struggling to walk into my classroom today. How am I supposed to go in and teach while just silently praying that our school isn’t the next headline. We need to do better for our kids and our teachers.
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
This is why I love what I do. The look on their faces— so inquisitive and thoughtful. We got our caterpillars today and are so excited to watch them turn into butterflies 🦋
I love being able to do meaningful PD with teachers that support their interests and goals. Love seeing teachers immediately plan to implement @breakoutEDU & @BeebotCo in the K-1 classroom. @Coltranewebb @mgnsmith @Megs3203@CCSSTEM
