Youth sports in the US are a disaster driven by egos & money.
70% of kids drop out of sports by 13
Fear of failure & pressure to perform from parents & coaches is one of the biggest reasons
We need to do better
Here's my youth sports manifesto for parents. It's important:
These @iftaft members have partnered with businesses like Target and local hotels to prepare students with disabilities for independent living, personal management, recreation and leisure, and vocational training. #RealSolutions
Our second stop in Illinois today was a tour of three District 219 Bridges Transition Services, which provides students a community-based, functional, real world curriculum to enhance students' life and vocational skills. #RealSolutions
The black women maternal health crisis is real and needs support and advocacy. Too many deaths, near deaths, pre-eclampsia, and other conditions in pregnancy that should be prevented and treated. Let’s create change.
Congrats to Niles West 321A & 321C on an amazing season, amazing state tournament, judges award …. World Robotics Championship Qualifiers … next stop Dallas, Tx
@erinstrout I have lots of fun flashing lights and a great headlight… great for running in the dark and embarrassing my teenaged kids!!! Plus each winter treat myself to a new reflective item like hat/ gloves/ ect!
@chrislhayes I invite Ted to spend time in a school.Schools don’t need to be hardened, they need to be caring, welcoming, fun and full of hope. Every child needs to know they are loved and valued. A locked door will not deter an evil monster. Not having access to assault weapons could.
I wish a vaccine was available for my child and for all kids <5. It would protect kids and help parents. Unfortunately more data is still needed from clinical trials for the FDA to make a full assessment. I know a safe, effective vaccine for <5s remains a top priority for them.
(1,20) Dear Jaime
Today is 4 years since your voice was silenced. It is now 4 years since I last heard your laugh, saw your smile, and kissed you goodbye. It is now 4 years since I last had the typical parental worries about you and how your day was going?
This is long overdue. I am so thankful for my fellowship colleagues and all of their hard work in seeing this through. Please support and share if you are so inclined. #RacismFreeSchools#SB811#RacialJustice
The Gold Mamba brought big games, buzzer beaters and Olympic gold to Seattle this season! 🤩😤

@NinaStrohminger I would guess if you asked this question in a graduate class full of teachers the answer would have been more on target. Teachers and schools see wealth inequalities everyday.
