[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

"MASLOW BEFORE BLOOM" simply means that basic human needs need to be addressed before learning can occur. If a student is hungry, tired, or scared—give them food, a nap, or a hug. It seems so simple. It is simple. It is also very effective.

If the officers were this scared- while armed and protected- try to imagine how these children felt in their final moments.

As teachers, society expects us to die protecting our students. Does this expectation not apply to those sworn to protect and serve?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨 Brand new Uvalde law enforcement body camera footage shows officers vomiting and sobbing outside after they entered the classroom.

After a months long investigation into why police hesitated during the Uvalde school shooting, the answer is the police were afraid to confront the killer’s AR-15.

This raises a very important question, if police are too afraid to confront an AR-15 where does that lead the rest of us?

Nearly 400 law enforcement officers were implicated in the poor response that left 19 children dead.

It’s time to ban assault rifles.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

The GOP legislature is planning to choke the life out of public education, and you need to know what’s happening. Watch Gov. Cooper's special address on public education.

An equally, if not more important, data point is who-individuals & groups- is/are excluded & not mentioned. Don't just pay attention to who IS at the table, mentioned in print, talked about, & highlighted. Notice who IS NOT. It matters. Keep asking & seeking to understand why.

[The Hunt Institute @Hunt_Institute]

Today, we celebrate Governor James B. Hunt, who led NC through four historic terms as the nation's first Education Governor. Every day, we seek to push his dream of equitable education for all forward by doing things #TheHuntWay. Happy birthday, Governor! https://t.co/dhmzD2vcLs

Special education teachers don't work in schools to fix students. Special education teachers work in schools to advocate for students.

[Terry Grier @tgrierhisd]

Superintendents should require all central office administrators, including themselves, to work in schools one-half day each semester. Elementary one semester, secondary the other. Actually work—not just visit! Some districts already do this or something similar.

@SloanRachmuth @jamespearcenc I used to go to your gym. Now you’re bashing my brother on twitter. I regret ever single dollar I ever spent at your failed business. Wish I had known the level of insanity I was unknowingly supporting

[MsEsco @MsEscoTeaches]

I feel like all parents, actually all adults who have comments about public education, should have to volunteer in a classroom for a week. Then come back and tell us how you feel.

So much fun for Science Day at Lyons Farm- we got to meet Treehouse the Turtle and Malaysia the….whatever very large bug this is #exploration

“Sunday always comes.” Which bothers you most: the bullhorn in the legislature or the assault rifle in the elementary school?https://t.co/QoyUp2Bf6I #Tennessee3

Judy Heumann spent a lifetime breaking down barriers and helping others reach their full potential. I’ll always be grateful for her outstanding work in my Administration creating opportunities for all of America’s children. Hillary and I will miss her very much. https://t.co/u313vQTZF2

[Judy Heumann Legacy @judithheumann]

Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported Judy throughout her lifetime of advocacy. May her memory be for a blessing.

Nothing beats feeling proud of where you work.

[Lyons Farm Elementary School Principal @PrincipalJHop]

Our Black History Month Program this evening paid homage to the family for which our school has been named. We are going to D.C. this May to campaign for this family’s history to be displayed on the floor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. #Legacy
