Students with the largest vocabularies aren’t the ones with the most flashcards.

I want to share a story with you - a picture book I wrote while I was doing research for my Ranger in Time 9/11 book. I never sent it out so it's unpublished & there's no art - except this photo from NASA, a view of Manhattan from the International Space Station on 9/11. (thread)

Idc about any national learning loss narrative, a lot of ya’ll middle-school teachers really did the damn thing last year. 😍 My freshmen totally killed a discussion today about some pretty complex stuff and cited what they learned last year over zoom. I appreciate you for real.
