Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.

We're proud to partner with P&G to celebrate all AAPI names—both given & chosen. So often, biases, indifference, or unintentional mistakes in pronouncing our names can fuel “perpetual foreigner” tropes. Belonging starts with a name. Visit https://t.co/ZSgtiJNmmZ. #OurNamesBelong

WHY IS YOUR TEENAGER SO TIRED?
There are many reasons.
One: Under normal conditions, each school year helps kids build capacity to do more and harder work than in previous years (think strength training). There was no slack in this system *before* the pandemic. 1/9

"We have yet had no reckoning with the history of the U.S. labor struggle, the most violent in the Western world. It is a history left out of standard narratives, but has profoundly shaped the country we live in today."

“Even if you enjoy your job and work long hours voluntarily, you’re simply more likely to make mistakes when you’re tired — and most of us tire more easily than we think we do.”

The story of overwork is literally a story of diminishing returns — keep overworking, and you’ll do more work on tasks that are increasingly meaningless. https://t.co/IcawU8FAlC

"We've always done it that way" is not a valid reason for anything.

Don't follow traditions because the status quo is comfortable and change makes you uncomfortable.

Question whether past routines are serving you well in the present and guiding you toward a better future.

The most direct way to figure out what's valued in a culture isn’t to listen to what people say is important.

It's to pay attention to who gets rewarded and promoted into leadership roles.

Groups elevate people who represent their principles and advance their goals.
