@clhubes I thought it was supposed to be an Arrested Development reference! Maybe not?

@eleneariel BOO. I hate this for you.

My family went apple picking and paid an astronomical price for our apples. But it was okay, because they were also the most mediocre apples we have ever tasted 😂 It’s all about the experience, right?

(The cider donuts, on the other hand, were perfect.)

I cannot stress this enough.

You need to do everything in your power to preserve door-to-door trick or treating in your town.

I am deadly serious when I say it is one of the last remaining artifacts of a high-trust and safe community.

Nature, family, tradition.

@ThatEricAlper Impossible to say but any list that doesn’t include Ella Firzgerald and Cecilia Bartoli is incomplete!

@Dorian375 @LizWFab Knowing how to use a tablet ≠ tech savvy. I wouldn’t call many of my students tech-savvy at all. They aren’t taught typing anymore, for one, and schools don’t have computer labs anymore. In the 90’s we took tonnnns of typing classes!

@ashleyrullestad @CanardBrun @madbutwright @tishakay776 I know he’s just a troll but I find it fascinating how teaching is such a cushy job and yet there are shortages everywhere…

@madbutwright @tishakay776 *societal level, not school wide.
How can they teach multiple kids with parents who allow them to stay up all night on their devices and don’t read to them, or whose mental health needs far exceed the resources the school can provide? Especially with ever-increasing class sizes?

@nursekelsey saw a post on Reddit where a preschool teacher keeps a bag of lollipops in her desk, because "the kids can't cry or make noise for the shooter if they're focused on something else" 😢also saw where teachers have a backup plan because the shooter likely knows the drill.

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

@ClaudinhaToday @missmulrooney Ticonderoga sounds like an epic evil king from a fantasy novel.

My expectations are so high that I will be impressed by nothing less than Beyoncé singing Crazy in Love with George W Bush doing the Jay-Z parts

Hearing a kid say, "You should take choir, it's fun!" was exactly the pick-me-up I needed a week into my first job teaching middle school choir. This has been a ROUGH first week and that kid has no idea how much that helped!

@jonkitley @LauraRbnsn He’s my favorite Dracula ever. So over the top.
