The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.
Tulsa Massacre Was a ‘Coordinated, Military-Style Attack,’ Federal Report Says
The Justice Department’s conclusion follows an investigation of the 1921 atrocity in Oklahoma in which up to 300 Black residents were killed.

Be on Santa's nice list by simply conveying what you mean mathematically clearly so we can stop having these PEMDAS arguments.

This entire thread is worth a read.
♾️ Spending my day talking with @mrkitmath.bsky.social about the complications of subtraction and division compared to addition and multiplication.

I did an interview quiz on equations of lines with my grade 9s. Allowed me to chat with each student and clear up anything with which they were struggling.

Feeling paralyzed about things to do to help everyone vote next week? Here's a few ideas:

* Advocate for your company to make Election Day a holiday!

* Help people fix rejected ballots ("ballot curing"): www.mobilize.us/crooked/even...

* Check your registration: www.vote.org

Other ideas?

Forcing teachers to follow identical lessons makes as much sense as forcing Beyoncé and Rihanna to sing only Taylor Swift songs. My take on why requiring teachers to follow curricula strictly harms students. #MTBoS www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Teachers: you had your students for 2 to 3 months. Today might be a good day to look at your rosters and make sure you can name a strength for every single student.
