@andrewcamp_ @mpolikoff Can you parse out/compare districts where that 5th day is mostly protected as a “day off” for teachers, vs. those that have teacher reqs. for that 5th day? B/c it seems obv. (at least to this former teacher) that 4 LONGER school days + 5th day of meetings & lesson planning = 👋

@carterforva I mean, how close are the neighbors?

@JediKt77 @bluevirginia @bootsndiamonds As a public school teacher, I can safely say I’m way too tired and underpaid to get up to shenanigans like indoctrination 😂

@HAIRBALLER @succession This season is so amazing. Each episode has been phenomenal, truly. Just so many emotions knowing it’s the last season!

[Sara Townsend, PhD @setowns]

I’m not sure if I’ll ever emotionally recover from the latest @succession episode

I'm sure Philly fans will absorb the call and the result with the grace and class for which they are known.

@carterforva I went to a Brooks & Dunn concert in the late 90s—Ronnie Dunn was clearly drunk, and he slurred/gasped his way through “My Maria” and forgot 1/2 the words…I vividly remember it even 20+ years later

@andrewcamp_ I want to know what “dangerously dry” means - like, you’re going to become so staticky you might light the entire house on fire? 🤔
