As you gain power and status, you lose some of your ability to judge character.

Chill bumps. I am so excited for Miguel (or I guess I should say Secretary Cardona. The future is bright for US students. @teachcardona@EducateCT @CTCenterSchChng
@CoachGalUHart Coach..... what a tragedy....Jack was a special human being, the most loyal friend imaginable and the toughest guy i know who never had to show it. So know he enjoyed cheering you on. RIP
Over here on E Street, we are crushed by the loss of John Prine. John and I were "New Dylans" together in the early 70s and he was never anything but the lovliest guy in the world. A true national treasure and a songwriter for the ages. We send our love and prayers to his family.
@principalrel Congrats Bob. It’s been awhile since we crossed paths in Portsmouth....nice to see you’ll be supporting RI principals. I’m back in RI working with supts through RISA. Best wishes.
If you start to notice that everyone around you is an asshole:
(a) If you can, leave
(b) If you're stuck, find the bright spots: the people who treat others with respect
(c) Consider the possibility—however remote—that you might be the asshole
