For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

This is a history lesson in why the incompetent drunkard and the brain dead pedophile shouldn’t be allowed to replace human judgment with AI.

I have to try and forcibly remind myself that it's two things at once - that we hate Trump and his cronies not just because it's fun to dunk on the mad king for clicks, but because we love the people he is hurting and our anger is on behalf of the vulnerable, which makes it sacred and honorable

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

Another war started by a Republican that claims Democrats start wars.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

Ask questions… loudly and fiercely. #War #Iran #Congress open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Shocking (NOT) Research Result – SEL Can’t Mitigate The Affects Of Poverty On Academic Achievement I’ve previously shared how some, most notably David Brooks, have attempted to substitute Social Emotional Learning for adequate and sustained financial support for public education (se…

It is both sad… and white-hot anger inducing.

A brown hound dog with a white chest and a white muzzle staring eagerly at me, her tail a blur behind her because I said the word "walk" and, well, now I gotta.

Sadie wants you to know you can just get up and go for a small walk instead, she believes you are worth it.

Laundry and laminating a math activity here!

From now on, we call it "hockey" and "men's hockey."

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

We make a point to name the mathematics of the activity, listen to students as they play & point out great strategies, etc. We can also have them leave residue of their thinking in recording sheets or pictures of game boards. #ElemMathChat

Play makes for safe “rehearsal” of skills we are still developing. It’s okay to tinker when we are playing… 🙂#ElemMathChat

Q6
What are we hearing from colleagues and from students regarding what motivates them to engage with their math learning?
(How are we addressing student motivation?) #ElemMathChat

The materials are a good start… HQIM (HQIR here in Kentucky) require professional learning on how to best implement & how they align to your standards and expectations for students. Handing materials to teachers is only one small part of implementation! #ElemMathChat

Q7
Play Based learning. We love to see it. What helps us implement such learning beyond “fun Fridays” and seeing it as integral to learning mathematics? #ElemMathChat

Q5
#HQIM is hot topic–how do you define high quality instructional materials and their implementation?

YES!!!!! #ElemMathChat

The trajectory that starts with 1st grade Geometry as fraction foundations & continues into fractions as numbers and then fraction operations. It’s ALL conceptual, but we try to shortcut that understanding for some reason that I don’t get. #ElemMathChat

A2: Opportunities to observe other educators in action. I love seeing what’s happening in classrooms!
