I am proud of the team while being disappointed. I think we overperformed this year. In any given playoff game, the opposing pitchers got to many easy outs with Canzone, Robles, and Rivas. Toronto could do damage with all 9 batters and that was the difference in the series.

Great timing as I taught this image today in my high school US history classes. Lots of connections to be made for those informed students.

My stress levels would be much lower, especially when my classes are 35+ students like they are right now. And I would be much more present and focused during the days with students.

I think there is a subset of students who are self-motivated and intrinsically driven that excel in online learning; however, my experience has been that the majority of students benefit more from in-person learning. #edchat

If they still have them, I enjoy Father Brown, Vera, and Death in Paradise.

Isn't it a similar story to the standardized test industry? Create tests designed to show students did poorly, then sell the product, textbook, resources that will get kids to pass the test. Finish up by mobbing the goal post and repeating the process to maximize profits.
