@IwriteOK I tell my students every year that supporting the end of institution of slavery and believing in the equality of all people are two different movements entirely.

@Trust_Lion_ Are you sure that person wasn’t Gen X? 1965 is the start of that generational cohort so if they graduated in the mid-80s, they could be 1st gen x or the last boomer. Your point is about cost of living, not generations, so it’s likely irrelevant.

@IwriteOK As you say so frequently Robert, the election will be determined by a few 100,000 voters in swing states.

@Michael89545153 @SIofficialSYNC @iamyesyouareno Do you know about the history of Japan? They did that already-during the Edo period (roughly 1600s-1860s).

Cell phone use and teacher shortages, according to this study. It’s worldwide and has been in decline for awhile. I’m a high school teacher for 21 years and have been watching this with my own two eyes.

@funkyjenn @piper4missouri Did you go to the same school as me, lol. The all-girls school I attended was a progressive environment. One religion course was World Religions (complete with field trips to a mosque, synagogue, Buddhist temple, Baha’i temple, Hindu temple, and Orthodox Church).

@rebekahentralgo High school teachers where I work don’t show any movies anymore. Many kids don’t have the attention span to engage with a movie they aren’t interested in.

@DanielHCantwell @RuNoseP @AlexYablon I was looking for this comment. Makes sense to me that he chose ships.

@HZeavin @jackiantonovich I’d love to see the syllabus too!!

@SadGreySea1 @zei_squirrel That line is so good, but the lack of lyrics of the next like 4 beats is so powerful.

@brainyisnewsexy @AllisonState Dual enrollment is the way to go!

@finbarmcd @DanMulhall @IrishLitTimes So to me, understanding the Irish-American identity is knowing about the institutions established by Irish immigrants that keeps some form of culture going, long standing ethnic enclaves, and the general lack of American cultural alternatives

@finbarmcd @DanMulhall @IrishLitTimes Irish dance was offered at every grammar school in my neighborhood as an after school activity. There are two huge, vibrant Irish cultural centers that offer plays, music, dances, broadcast a radio station, teach Irish Gaelic.

[Kate @wsox23]

@finbarmcd @DanMulhall @IrishLitTimes There were no other institutions offering dance lessons of any kind in my neighborhood (or plays, art, etc.). I loved dance and Irish dance was the only game in town. So I joined Irish dance, but if Polish dance or ballet were offered I would have learned those dance forms.

@finbarmcd @DanMulhall @IrishLitTimes Or children of immigrants. My mom the child of an immigrant from Hungary and she was the first person in her family not to marry someone of Irish descent. Also, Irish immigrants over generations set up institutions. There are Christian Bros and Mercy Sisters who ran/run schools
