Been waiting on bags for 4.5 hours at CLT. Originally grounded due to storms. Now told they are short staffed so no one is unloading bags. Unbelievable. @AmericanAir.

@Chris__X__ My son had a similar experience at 31. It turned out to be testicular cancer. He had it removed and did two rounds of chemo. That was four years ago and there is a 1% chance it will come back. He tells his story to all young men. Get checked if something doesn't seem right.

If you ask a teacher what they want from their admin, they’re probably NOT gonna say “instructional leadership.” 

Most will simply say: “SUPPORT!”

It’s important to note, though… that when they do feel supported, they are much more receptive to the instructional leadership.
