As the Michigan high school fall sports season begins, I am grateful for every coach who is willing to take her/his time to support children who are not their own. Building character, competitiveness, a sense that hard work pays off. Thank you to every coach for your hard work.

On August 8, we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Esther Williams Swimming Pool and what would be the actress' 100th birthday! The 1947 movie "This Time for Keeps," starring Esther Williams was filmed at the swimming pool & from this point on, the pool was renamed!

In this week’s episode of the Summer Sister Series, I have a couple of in-real-time revelations: namely that I struggle with cultivating rest and play (but pickleball is making it easier). https://t.co/CIZTubjFdD

The senior ranking officer of the Armed Forces of the United States of America was called a PIG by @TuckerCarlson on @FoxNews tonight. Fox News and the Murdoch’s are a cancer in this country.

Nobody has done more to harm the Republic than Mitch McConnell.

If this doesn’t give you all the incentive you need to vote in the midterms, I don’t know what will.

How would society change if we had universal pre-K?

A new study finds that kids randomly selected for government-funded preschool were more likely to graduate high school and to go to college. They were also less likely to get suspended or skip class.

Let’s hope this helps non-educators understand how dire this situation really is.

The photographer Karen Marshall documented a group of female friends through their teen years in the '80s until 2015. She captured their daily life, falling outs and reunions.

In the end, she saw the patterns of their friendship reflected in her own life.

I have had a lot students write me over the years. Not one has written me 25 years later to discuss the essay she wrote analyzing the central theme of Lord of the Flies.
