Could Tim Walz go from teaching history to being part of it? Former classmates and colleagues talk about the teacher and coach who went into politics and is now believed to be on Kamala Harris’s short list for a running mate.

It’s not every day a former public school teacher ends up on a presidential ticket.

But for the students and teachers who crossed paths with Tim Walz during his decade of teaching, it’s easy to look back now and see the signs that he could find himself in exactly that position.

I first met Joe Biden when I was in high school. He crossed a room full of donors and Pennsylvania bigwigs, including then-Governor Ed Rendell, to talk to the only kid in the room, for like ten minutes. He also likes sharks and encouraged me to continue becoming a scientist.

Thank you, sir.

Today was one of those days I was reminded about all the things they don’t teach you in grad school - like how to testify in front of a legislative committee! Thanks to Keep It Colorado for helping me navigate the process!

Really distressing to see how many people aren’t paying attention to scientific updates to taxonomic nomenclature.

Stingrays haven’t been called “sea flap flaps” in years. Now they are called “charismatic pancakes of wonder”.
