This story is stunning.

In short: Alito himself leaked the Dobbs decision, and not only that, he's leaked his own opinions before, to right-wing litigants, so they could wine and dine other justices, and donate to their causes, to secure their vote. https://t.co/0LobfuibNu

Anyone can edit a college essay. But, can they change the way students feel/think about writing? What if students felt confident and empowered in their ability to write? What if instead of feeling stressed when they sit to write, they ease into it? https://t.co/2nVjiRNSsz

Veteran teacher from IB and AP to those entering the trades, knows what admissions is looking for and the mistakes students are most likely to make on this essay.

I even know why they procrastinate. Best of all, I know how to get them writing. I've helped hundreds of students.

Let’s not assume that the two-week break was magical and re-energizing for our students. Or their teachers. While we’re at it, let’s not expect the same qualities for both upon their return next week.

Simple but true: Children want to know if their teacher likes them.

Schools can’t teach and feed students on “potentially.” Our schools cannot safely open without resources, period. They need this funding. https://t.co/9aHIwNGNKT
