Yes! Race is a social construct, not a biological fact. Another great quote from @TaNehisiCoats: “Race is the child of racism, not the father.”

“Student difficulty with mathematics has been a pervasive and systemic problem since the advent of public education - not because students can’t learn math, but because students can’t learn by being told how to do it.” #Profound

Great reminders! Thank you.

Since it's Disability Pride Month, I'd love to address something I see many issues with out in the wild:

Wheelchair etiquette

There are appropriate and inappropriate ways to interact with someone who is in a wheelchair. Knowing them benefits all involved.

Something I also like to show/teach. Be flexible students! Understand how an algorithm works and you can turn it on its head. Also, learn to subtract up. So many ways!

Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. It is defined by your willingness to learn, solve problems and try new things. You are more than just a number. Develop your skills. Share your brilliant ideas. Your skills are more valuable than your grades. 🧠

Insulin was invented ~100 years ago, and its patent sold for $1.

“Do you know the reason why [insulin is] $1,000 with insurance?” ~@AOC

There is no reason for insulin to cost $21 in Canada for a 10 ml bottle, while it costs a mortgage payment in the US.

Always try to count up. Absolutely!
