My first thing I realized was that learners often end a lesson being able to do something or understand something they couldn't before. Such an opportunity to see your own learning power and growth. Still love that.

I wonder why this is not getting more coverage. It is hard to sue the federal government and win but the discovery process seems to be moving along and uncovering evidence of criminal acts.
Updated to reflect that Agent Charles Exum has been placed on administrative leave per standard CBP policy, per a spokesperson for the agency.

ICE raids are traumatizing public school communities across the U.S., leaving some children stranded without caregivers after school and turning abductions by immigration agents into shocks that ripple through entire classrooms and campuses.
