There are few things more motivating for me as a teacher than the experience of stepping into another teacher's classroom + seeing the world they have built, the tools they wield, the magic they create.
My point? We need way, way more chances to see each other teach.

Poor reporting. Begins with complaint (opinion) that the decision will have negative economic impact. All the way down it finally mentions true data: 2024 boat ban was best year yet for local businesses. Boats DO spread zebras, even after infested. Follow the data, not “I deserve a boat”. Wild. . .
BRANDON — More than 2,200 people have signed an online petition calling for Riding Mountain National Park to let motorized boats back on Clear Lake this summer despite the danger of zebra mussels.
Opponents push Parks Canada to scrap boat ban on Clear Lake

“Efficiency”
A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S.
The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
