I have never seen Jaws. I'm okay with it.

I'm guessing Silver's fantasy football team always comes in last.

Gotta’ stop them now.

Oklahoma Education Chief Who Promoted Bibles in Schools Will Resign

The final insult? Leaving halfway through the school year. Of course, this seat is better empty than having him in it, but still an asshole move. Oklahoma Education Chief Who Promoted Bibles in Schools Will Resign www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

It looks like the inner tube that you pull behind a speed boat for the kids to ride. How much fentanyl could have been on the thing?

Anyone remember in the depths of Covid when John Krasinski & friends did a Some Good News show? I could use some of that wholesome energy about now.

If you opt for surgery, choose a surgeon who is a hip specialist. My 16 year old went to a "regular" ortho first and surgery didn't work.

This is the quote I have hanging in my classroom!

I teach AP Lang and as I start to think about next year's curriculum, I'm not sure what to tell students about truth. How do I equip them to tell the difference between truth and propaganda? Where do I send them for facts/supporting evidence if their government is supplying the lies? #teachersky

Not me. Those are the lines I emphasize. Keep 'em paying attention!

I teach rhetoric and I like to use examples from different sides of the political spectrum. But since Trump has been in office, there are no rhetorically worthy speeches from the right to study.

Budgets reveal your values. It would be interesting to see what Kerr County did spend their funds on last year.

I think our experiences in Covid are a pretty strong indicator that teachers-flesh and blood human beings-are essential to the learning experience.

Is that the same two weeks that we are waiting on for his new infrastructure plan?

Last day of school today and I received the best compliment possibly ever. Student wrote in her thank you that I was the kind of teacher from whom she would feel comfortable asking to borrow a tampon. 😁
