*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The caucasity of Scott Jennings on @cnn insinuating that he was discriminated against while he taught at Harvard. Seriously? Reality check-you’re a POS and so are your trash takes. Why CNN keeps allowing him to sit there and be a shit human is beyond me.

@cnn.com again with the trash takes! I would never sit down with Trump because he’s a RAPIST. Idgaf if he “has a sense of humor” according to Bill Maher. He raped women, he is a liar, a racist, & over all POS. Disgusting to the core.

POS Scott Jennings on @cnn.com says he’s okay with sending American citizens to prisons in other countries. Okay, Scott. Let’s send your shitty ass FELON president. CNN, why do you allow this terrible human to even speak? His views are shit. Trash. Pure trash.

@cnn.com Scott Jennings is literal trash. Having different perspectives is a good thing, but that man is a narcissistic moron. But then, he supports a rapist, so we shouldn’t expect anything less. I do, however, expect better from you, CNN.

Black women have had the experience of being overly qualified for a position. Had that position given to someone who isn't qualified and then still asked to do the work, usually with no power and no increase in pay. Ya'll just not used to black women saying no. Good luck with the revolution tho

(Teachers need) the language to reframe it and to say, I really want this learner to be successful. I want all the learners in my classroom to be successful. And I want to be successful. It’s very different than saying this child doesn’t belong in my classroom

DOK (Depth of Knowledge) has 4 levels.
DOK 1 and DOK 2 have a right answer.
My quick and dirty for DOK 3 is "Make a claim and justify it with evidence."

My Sp 2 students played a small group game today. They were laughing together and enjoying the game and it brought me so much joy to hear then laughing together. Sometimes it’s the little things that count.
