I offered students extra credit to show up Monday in Electricity & Magnetism related costumes. I had one student who missed Monday and told me today that they were in a magnetic monopole costume Monday during class and that’s why I didn’t see them Monday.

I don't want schools fully funded. I want schools OVER funded. I want school closets overflowing with resources. I want teachers to have extra supplies. I want kids to learn using the newest technology.
