So if the US President was not actively trying to balkanize the nation, what would he be doing differently?

I've about had it with the seed oil hysteria, that's for damn sure.

Wait, so a younger, progressiver candidate was nominated? But I thought that was impossible!

I am STRUGGLING with not getting a principal job again this year. Part of it is my current principals. This is genuinely the FIRST job I've had where I know I could do a better job and I'm really not learning a thing.

Hey, sounds to me like we need to get #applesummer trending. I'm a big fan of Fuji and Pink Lady, myself.

I know its only June, but I'm getting a headstart on my classroom wishlist because I have some big items for school announcements. #EduSky #Clearthelist #TeachersHelpTeachers www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Its that gross in-between weather where its too muggy not to have ac, but the actual air temp isn't hot enough. So you're muggy and hot or dry and freezing.

Saw the usual claptrap on FB about "my classroom everyone is laughing and moving and ENGAGED" and it's so gross.

Potato sticks taste good but they're so hard to eat!

So, what we really need is a massive push to have a fully literate student body. Either by state or Nationally. It would need to be multi-pronged and it would cost money. We'd need to address poverty, but also staffing in schools, supporting literacy, having coaches, interventionists-

Really wishing there had been some support for literacy before everyone decided we were in crisis. I also wish there had been a bigger push to identify the breadth of problems. Because its not just one problem. It's many.

Blazing Saddles.

Finished reading the first Jack Reacher novel. It was pretty entertaining. A page-turner. Fluffy stuff, after a year-long Discworld re-read.
