@BednarElizabeth @RepNancyMace Why? She shamed E. Jean Carroll while standing by a serial rapists. Not really anything to respect.

[Dr. Whitney Blankenship (she/her) @msblank]

@RepNancyMace As a rape victim I am disgusted by your support of a serial rapist. No one was shaming the victim, they were shaming your hypocrisy. That is why women don’t want to come forward.

This is why teachers are fleeing the profession. No autonomy, no respect for our expertise, and all for abysmal pay.

@NicholasFerroni On Friday we had sticker charts placed on our doors so we could earn stickers for “correct” classroom procedures. Earn 5 stickers and get a yoga pants day. By the way we didn’t get a raise this year.

@chriscmartell Best book I read this summer. I’ve already changed some lectures and working on others. Great read,

@MoniseLSeward Thanks for the reminder, I’ve got a few I want save as well.

@EdKrassen And what about the Palestinian civilians who have been injured and killed—old/young/women/children. Israel isn’t completely innocent here.

[Dr. Whitney Blankenship (she/her) @msblank]

@EdKrassen Israeli IDF has been conducting raids in the West Banks for 2 weeks effectively forcing folks to hunker down. It should surprise no one that Hamas finally hit back.

@katieporteroc Israeli forces have been raiding the West Bank for several weeks, forcing residents to hunker down. It is not at all surprising that Hamas decided to push back.

@Plus2Amy @VABVOX It has happened on Austin a couple of times now. Major pain.

@eorre_ecc @JayWamsted All of this.

@FromPhDtoLife NCSS has used Whova platform for the last few years. As both a presenter, planner and participant, Whova works really well. Lot’s of opportunities to do the networking outside of sessions but within the app. In person is always better for friends.

@notcapnamerica Oh I have one, it never. Shuts. Up. Also introvert.

[Dr. Whitney Blankenship (she/her) @msblank]

@MoniseLSeward Hmmmm…..

[Dr. Whitney Blankenship (she/her) @msblank]

@MoniseLSeward According to Wikipedia she was born with hip dysplasia and had a hip replacement a few years ago.

@MarcusLuther6 That mostly tracks. Usually there is a tweak or two to make it just different enough that they can sell it as “new”.

@poptrtsrravioli @JayWamsted Standardized testing + Common Core pushed everything down. Result was developmentally inappropriate standards for K-3.

@JayWamsted In late 70s my middle school brought Alg 1 to 8th grade. Prior to this I did okay in math. Teacher out sick most of fall and. We had string of subs (who were not math teachers). In spring we got new T. Too late. I have hated math ever since.

@heymrsbond See if there is a maker group that has access to a large scale printer.

[Dr. Whitney Blankenship (she/her) @msblank]

@ls_gibson Yes!! It has become so ingrained that bias automatically = bad and is therefore to be avoided. Getting them to abandon that mindset is driving me nuts! How do we flip that narrative?

@GregAbbott_TX Let’s put that energy into comprehensive immigration reform. We already know the wall won’t work.
