Human. Teacher. Latine loquor.

@jtkantor Yes! Thanks for the Godspell. Godspeed to you. You’re the best!

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@jtkantor Broadway show tune. Your choice.

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@jtkantor would you please play Phantom of the Opera for my musical-obsessed wife here at Fenway for Mother’s Day?

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@jtkantor Ah, sorry we weren’t here yesterday. ABBA was great. Lemme ask her

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@delta Your musical choices are questionable, but blasting the whole plane with them after a red-eye is just cruel. Turn off the music! (Everyone would complain if we weren’t wearing our headphones, wouldn’t you?)

I’ve started learning Spanish and this ‘usted’ business has me perplexed. Can someone please explain where the idea of the ‘polite third person’ came from? As far as I know it has no equivalent in classical Latin. Cheers.

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@theo_nash Because in modern Greek, that’s how those names are pronounced.

@daisy_razor @anachronistique This sounds amazing. Worth it. Ice cream is the best. Just think, a cocktail at that price would probably give less joy. (Probably.)

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

No matter what the score at the @redsox game, @jtkantor is always undefeated. Go Josh! Thanks for the music.

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

So true.

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!

“We have had so many people suffering from gun violence this year alone,” said 16-year-old Ollaya Krikib. “We’ve had more mass shootings in the country than days, and I think that is absolutely ridiculous.” https://t.co/ZKFg22tDbi

Lola Roberts, one of the student organizers, said they were really happy with the turnout and seeing younger students come out to participate.

[Adria Watson @adriarwatson]

I’m at Boston Latin Academy where students walked out of class moments ago to protest gun violence

Nobody puts Muppet Baby in the corner.

[Amanda @Pandamoanimum]

The final dance in Dirty Dancing, but they’re dancing to The Muppet Show theme tune.

@daisy_razor @matt_levine @ElieNYC Somehow my only seeing this 5 days later also makes me feel old and out of touch. Oh well.

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@barryjneely We have been covering for each other a lot. Today for example there were about 20 teachers out, and only 9 subs.

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@barryjneely Yeah, me too. Maybe even more than in January. It’s going around, fast

[Richard Freed @rfreed314]

@WineFolly We celebrate Meditrinalia, the ancient Roman festival which involved tasting old wine and new wine, apparently with the goal of being cured of diseases old and new. “Novum vetus vinum bibo, novo veteri morbo medeor."
"Wine new and old I drink, of illness new and old I am cured."
