I love language! Fluent in English & Spanish, learning Japanese, dabbled in Vietnamese
I was at a training on vocab instruction and the Matthew Effect came up.

Kids who enter school with a high vocab are able to learn new words more easily. Those with lower vocab have a harder time learning more, so the gap widens.

Is anyone else constantly fighting with #google storage space? It's oddly inconsistent (see screenshots taken days apart) and no matter how much I delete it never seems to go down except for random temporary big jumps. Is it a bug? Are they lying to sell storage space??

One thing I told #parents at Back to School Night was that chores are BENEFICIAL to kids! It's actually a disservice to not expect them to help around the house. #parenting

#Parenting is currently in a permissive trend. The result is kids who have no self control and can gaslight and lie to get out of anything. Now imagine #teaching 20-30 of those. #education #parents #kids

A prime example, my husband and I couldn't remember if Gus, the dog in #letterkenny, had passed away so I googled that. Here's what I got. Needless to say I learned a lot about Gus's time as a fried chicken restaurant owner. #breakingbad

Startling but beautiful sight when I looked up at the sky this morning - turns out it was a Space X launch!
