All school lunches should be free. And it’s a complete societal failure that they’re not.

One thing they never prepare you for when you become a teacher is the death of a student.
Not that this is something anyone can prepare for anyways.
Hug your loved ones for me tonight

Teachers, with SNAP benefits stopping many of our students will be struggling with food insecurity.
What’s something your school does to support these students?
I’ll go first by sharing one of my favorite things my school does in the thread below. 🧵

Ok friends, buckle up, it’s funny story time!
I’m teaching a unit where my students have to learn how to describe people in Spanish. We use famous people to keep it fun and interesting.
But because I’m old and out of touch, and I don’t know what celebs these young’uns know…

As someone who is burnt out by living in bad times, I have learned to prioritize number 3 on this list. Because without number 3, I can’t do the other ones either.
Find small joy today.
Find small joy today.
As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

Genuine question: for those enthusiastically pushing AI tools into every part of our education system—what checks/guardrails are there around algorithmic biases like this?
The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”
OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT
GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.
