Hey @romanmars.bsky.social, if the 1992 movie Toys does not get mentioned at some point in #HiddenLevels, I am going to be VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I sort of love it when a student cites me in an assignment. Some of them DO listen to what I have to say!!!

I have been voted staff member "most likely to become president" by the seniors at my school. On the one hand, it's nice to be thought of. On the other hand, if they've been paying attention in class, what are they saying about me?!?

Barack Obama throwing out the first pitch at a White Sox game

Today I showed my students a photo of Obama throwing out the first pitch at a game in his White Sox jacket. Not one student could identify the team. And when I told them, one student had the nerve to say, "Don't you mean the Red Sox?" #DoBetter

Dear @losangeleschargers.bsky.social,

I don't know who gave you the idea to wear yellow pants. But whoever it is, they should not be listened to.

Love,
Me

Is your mom just chopped liver or something?

Public education is the cornerstone of democracy, fostering equal opportunity, critical thinking, and an informed citizenry. It drives social mobility, bridges inequality, and ensures every child, regardless of background, can contribute meaningfully to society. Save it, secure our future.

Step 1: spearhead systemic change so that a college degree does not require you to mortgage away the rest of your life.

This is why we need strong Civics and social studies education in schools.

We build as much state, local, and tribal content as we can into the Civics/Current World Issues class that seniors are required to take. Which is not enough, but better than nothing.

That's part of the argument for Rear Window. I also think from a pop culture perspective, it hits a lot of tropes.

Psycho is the obvious choice, but an argument could be made for Rear Window.

Also-

Bunny is also voting Harris, but every other character in the movie is voting Trump.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski: Harris (has a history of not voting or voting third party, but Trump really harshes his vibe)

Walter Sobchak voted for Harris and made sure EVERYONE knew about it.

Donny Kerabatsos told Walter he voted for Harris but really voted for RFK.

I'll gladly plan EVERYONE'S lessons for them if someone else will do the grading for me.

hell yeah

I've realized that one of the reasons I hate cybertrucks so much is that they are exactly how I picture the vehicles in Fahrenheit 451.

Quick, someone plan a remake of Reality Bites and cast Justin Herbert in Ethan Hawke's role.

Dentists need to get massage chairs like pedicurists have.

What is Civic Power Hour?

As someone who lives in a blue state where education is currently underfunded, I don't know how we'll fund things.

Graph of funding difference: .05 to 50

Can we now finally start investing in civics education (not to mention the other social studies too) like we do STEM!?! It is seriously destroying our nation. www.npr.org/2022/03/29/1...

Yes, please!

I did this for 24 years. It is my elder kid's first day.
