Educational linguist and lover of languages. Views are my own.
Speaking as the parent of a teen who absolutely inhales historical content (and spends a lot of time on Wikipedia), this is brilliant and I love it so much.

Yup. And educational standards typically don't specify that students need to be able to express their knowledge or abilities (a) neatly; (b) within time constraints; or (c) in many cases, in English and not in the other languages a student might use.

(R) = right! I spent a moment wondering why your dog was a Republican.

It's "a napron" not "an apron" ... You know, nap, like napkin. :)

Love the solidarity from across the city. Was also on that train.

Downloaded it 7 months and 3 weeks ago. Just passed level 400. I've also crocheted 2 hats, a dozen granny squares, about 1/10th of a scarf, and a small aardvark, because I read somewhere that finishing crafted objects is good for mental health. We all find our ways to cope, I guess.

Thanks for sharing!! I would also recommend the AFT's resources for anyone who is looking for how-to guides that they can share -- they have a robust suite of items tailored for administrators, educators, and families.
