Lol! I was coming on here to say Kassia… but she’s on it!

Older brother tells him something he heard in Star Wars: Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

I think they both learned something yesterday. Perhaps a little more than don’t steal your brother’s ball.

when we got home, he kept crying that his older brother (16) had gotten his 🏀 stuck in a rose bush.

Eventually, I mentioned that I didn’t think he was actually crying about the 🏀, that he was still upset about those who yelled mean things.

I know my buddy @mrworthington.bsky.social might tell me something about school board candidates not having a ton of $$ and needing the help they can get.

I think it's easy to respond to overt threats to public education, but we have to stay aware of the covert threats that are silently working.

I've been watching the $ that comes into my local school board race closely for more than a decade.

And I just don't forget.

Our brains are constantly on kids and we know we do our best work in community.

Love y'all. @hablospanglish.bsky.social @mssanesteban.bsky.social @holamsjohnston.bsky.social @maestra-landaverde.bsky.social (and all the others that aren't on Bluesky... yet)

It’s so tempting to work through lunch or eat alone in your classroom. My mentor teacher always made us eat together as a team in the workroom/lounge. I haven’t kept up the practice but it helped me feel connected to others in my early years.
