We put a lot of the burden of students' success or failure on teachers. But it is important to remember that those teachers operate in an environment regulated from above. Subject leaders are key to buffering those inputs and help schools succeed. 🧪

Unpopular opinion? We have a lot of orgs who want to help schools offering to do #book drives - which usually bring in old, worn, used, and outdated books (even adult books!). It’s hard enough disposing of books I weed from the #library collection.

Democrats bend over for tRump because their corporate owners/donors insist on it. This is who these politicians actually work for and it's not us.

Every single one of us knows only the information we've been exposed to. Very little comes from primary observation. If all you know is witchdoctors, then that's what you trust. Debunking the pseudoscience is essential, but largely ignored

This is completely anecdotal, but my daughter has been giving my granddaughter tiny bits of all the common allergens (with a major dose of dog hair & dander) since she started eating food. Peanut butter toast and whole milk are 2 of her favorites.

I woke up grumpy today. My daughter says my house has negative (or not positive) energy and that’s why I don’t sleep enough, so I’m chewing on that. Thursday is my hard class day, and I’m meeting with admin tomorrow (monthly check in). Book fair is next week.

Your daily reminder that Republicans in Congress have gone on vacation while they force thousands of Americans to go without a paycheck this week.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Early voting has started in GA. Voting is like public transit - you get on the bus that gets you closest to your destination.

I did not expect that Pull-a-Part yard had how-to videos available by QR code on the wall. there’s a steady stream of men coming to find auto parts, presumably for their repair shops. I’m just waiting for a guy to fetch a wheel for my old truck. This is the real economy.

What if my cracked phone screen is really only a cracked protective screen? I won’t know unless/until I peel it off. But what if it is the phone?

Pretty clear - Miller and Vought are the "deciders" in this administration. Trump no longer has a functioning brain.

In light of our government’s being dismantled by know-nothings and autocrats, it is even more important for #librarians to teach students how to evaluate sources. I used to teach that .gov domains were reliable, but no more.

Today in flabbergasted, a parent complained to teacher and our spelling bee coordinator that the 6th grade words were inappropriate and her child would not be learning them. Reader, it’s the official Scripps National Spelling Bee list we purchased.
