My husband was hit by a bus. If it wasn't for me he'd be homeless before the end of the year. I'm not saying this as some kind of savior. It's a reminder you're one bad thing out of your control away from homelessness.

Hurricane forces in western Alaska. Please keep them in York thoughts today. This is what the National guard is for.

Yes.

"You're just so calm." As my coworker takes me to the emergency room after a family member was transported there by ambulance. What? Like freaking out helps?

I'm not paid to listen to parents scream nonsense at me.

Stop overburdening teachers who can "handle" it.

"I've never been this sick." Y'all it was so hard. So hard. But I stayed quiet as long as possible.

I may have made an assumption that the police were at school checking for seat belt use today and shared that with students as they left.

I can't post specifics but the reasons teachers don't stay are so numerous sometimes it shocks me people stay at all.

I take over $3000/month of meds so I should qualify as disabled yeah?

A modest proposal. Special education staffing is determined by service minutes and intensity of behaviors. Louder again: inclusion without supports is educational neglect for all.

Stop the presses. A CGRP was approved for pediatric migraine.

Middle school baseball is like t ball but with kids pitching. Therefore quite fun.

My mic was a little loud today but next door got to catch some of Wind in the Willows.

"IEPs are so easy for students to get." Meanwhile we have to fight tooth and nail through MTSS and hundreds of interventions and data points and proof that it isn't a language barrier and proof that it isn't an attendance issue....

Louder for the people in the back: inclusion without supports is educational neglect.

2 school instructional coaches but first grade is currently set to have 31 students a piece so far.

My comments in CNN

When finishing a paper is just a relief not an accomplishment...

Let's all hope the tsunami watches are for nothing.

Look if this is in your reading specialist program I can't take you seriously.

You know a doctor is just visiting and is telehealth if they don't understand why putting a teen to bed at 9 pm in the summer in Alaska isn't going to happen.

If you were to pick a topic to make an annotated bibliography for a course titled Language, Reading, and Culture what would you pick?

Went to go my project watching in my community and ended up doing advocacy work instead. Oops. Extension request submitted.

Using all the SOR stuff I mostly taught myself as a homeschooler (& not in my teacher prep program) didn't scar them. Why do some people act like using drills and cards and all that hurt kids?

Writing this pointless paper about my literacy development so I ask my kid who likely has LD & ADHD about their memory and feelings about his. Other than being happy that they could read they don't remember much nor has many feelings about it.

I want to do back to school intensives with reading and math. The most core instruction. It'll look like a ton of interventions plus read alouds to keep building background knowledge from the main ELA curriculum. But I don't know how we can teach "grade level content"

Sen. Dan Sullivan votes to cut public broadcasting.

At least the head of our school district is brutally honest. This is so bad.
