There is nothing like the bond between a father and son. Hear @nico_hoerner, @ItsPaulSewald and @ShaneBieber19 talk about how their Dads got them into the game. #FathersDay

A young person connected 2 u needs this. Not the “It gets better message”, the “You’re not the only 1” message makes more of a difference.U can’t promise things gettin bettr but being able 2 relate 2 a song or video, made me feel a little more alive https://t.co/EpCBn0cg8J

@tylertarver They should be more worried about the students coming in wearing pajamas and slippers…sets a real shitty tone.

@CrackinWax We’ve been using some of your PE activities over at the St Augustine FL Boys and Girls Club :)

@naima @heymrsbond @SupernovaMomma Great point yes, that method would definitely not be my vibe

[Bpt On My Mind @TheFishPen]

@naima @heymrsbond @SupernovaMomma But as a professional would you tend to speak the same way in all settings or do you adjust a bit depending on the setting?

@DrCIKingdom @scissorkim @heymrsbond I think AAVE is different from a lot of what’s on that list no? Generational? I’m unpacking nf this for myself as well.

[Bpt On My Mind @TheFishPen]

@DrCIKingdom @heymrsbond There might also a generational aspect to this? I supervise folks in their early 20’s, late teens @ work—3 college students, 1 already graduated & I can c myself (40 something Puerto Rican) wanting to come up w/something like this based on my judgement of professionalism

My public school is not failing. We have a brilliant and engaged community of teachers and learners. That’s just what the voucher crowd wants you to believe. It’s a lie.

[Bpt On My Mind @TheFishPen]

@teachbk @TechySewell Wish I had received this advise for the beginning of my first year in the classroom.

[Bpt On My Mind @TheFishPen]

Very cool thread.

[Bpt On My Mind @TheFishPen]

Is this about money and power they are afraid of losing? Afraid of losing their jobs? They can’t all be horrible human beings , right?

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

@DailyLoud In jail for attempted murder would be appropriate.

At the very bottom of it is the speech language pathologist. The one with the expertise 2 help the majority of students that r struggling. Whether in CT or FL, the situation wz the same. Ran me out of the profession after 16 yrs. thing I spent the least time doing? Actual therapy

There is a caste system that exists in schools. It's an invisible hierarchy based on power, rank, or privilege, depending on whether you're a paraprofessional, special education teacher, general education teacher, or administrator.
