There are multiple ways to learn how to read, and I'm of the opinion that we need many different approaches, including but not limited to phonics and phonemic awareness.

6 years ago, my friend Tom tweeted this. Because I’m a holiday LOVER who had a classroom tree and array of holiday assignments,

I paused and decided to poll my students to gauge their feelings.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

There's no responsiveness because it's clear the purpose isn't to teach kids, it's to "get through" the curriculum.

There's never a charge to maintain fidelity to children, there is only fidelity to the curriculum.

Also, the reason people say dumb stuff and struggle to interpret complexity online has very little to do with reading comprehension and everything to do with the interpretation, ideology, & the perverse incentive structure of platforms. Do not blame 3rd grade teachers for bad Twitter takes ffs! 😩

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

GREAT NEWS!

Starting Nov 1, New Mexico will be the first state in the nation to guarantee universal child care. This is a big step forward, it:

✅ Saves families ~$12,000/child per year
✅ Allows more parents to work
✅ Invests in early educators

A game-changer for kids, families, and our state!
