If you're looking for inequities in a school, start by looking at the master schedule.

@simonateba @elonmusk Always consider what is true and right, not necessarily what is easy. Best of luck.

One of my daughters' favorite teachers! Here's a high school teacher who explores and celebrates the local history of her school community like no one else. I have the published book to prove it! 👏👏@ECBOE @BlakeBusbin

Hoke Bluff High School is rich in tradition. I met history teacher Mrs. Boatwright. She brings local, state and national history to life. Thanks to Assistant Principal Rush Rutledge for the conversation and tour. @ECBOE @mjshields @AnthonyJBuckner @ALSDEOSI

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesn’t mean they aren’t leaders. In fact as a leader, seek their input and feedback if you want to build a highly effective school culture.

“Schools don’t exist so that adults can have jobs. Schools exist for kids.”@KidsDeserveIt

When we avoid difficult convos or decisions because it’s *easier*, we’re saying kids are not the purpose of our work.

Kids first, always. They’re the reason we are here.#multiplyexcellence

@pmarca Almost no one seems to realize that the head of bioethics at NIH – the person who is supposed to make sure that Fauci behaves ethically – is his wife 🧐

@teachergoals This is a great idea. No free lunches in my district this year and many parents won't fill out the application for free lunches. The kids have NO control over this and not every lunchroom manager is kind
