11-year old Christopher Underwood, who lost his brother to gun violence: “For me, I would like to not worry about dying, and focus on math and science and playing basketball with my friends. Don't I deserve to grow up?" #MarchForOurLives (via CBS)

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today’s marches happen. Keep at it. You’re leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.

Teachers are in a cycle of Presentism, Individualism and Conservatism. How do we get out of it? #collaboration @hargreavesbc #empower18 @ASCD

My YLC students (the club I advise) put together this wall of info! They picked the topic and they figured out what to put up!! #abenation

@baritoneblogger @SaraswatiNoel Don't like the convo? Change it. Don't criticize it. Have ur voice heard. We need to open doors to such convos. Not close them.

[Alissa Farias @profefariasLHS]

@baritoneblogger @SaraswatiNoel I'm sad to now read this thread. To now it was happening as I sat across from you. Yes, speak up! Verbally! But Not this way.

My first unconference was filled with new teaching strategies and thought provoking discussion on race/culture in the classroom! #wateach

In my bed prepping for tomorrow. 55 min plan is a joke. Who came up with the teacher schedule anyway? Just another night of hrs of work.

[Alissa Farias @profefariasLHS]

I've never counted. Maybe $400. Maybe $500. But that doesn't include donations I give to my school for our families. https://t.co/2XpnBvu4cz
