Me: we’re going to read a living poet today. Her poem is from 1994
Student: oh, I thought it would be more recent.
Student 2: How old is she? Like 80?
Me: I was ALSO ALIVE IN 1994…. but yes she's 72.
@MelAlterSmith’s NCTE presentations didn’t prepare me for this 😂

I’m tired of admin/educators and this refrain of “be more interesting than what’s on their phone.” 🙄
I literally had a kid tell me today that my class is really interesting but TikTok requires less brain power to be interesting.
I thought it was last weekend 😅 I was so proud of myself for doing grocery pickup on Saturday to avoid the crowd on Sunday… a week early.

One time a writer friend of mine got too drunk and sobbed bc she said there were too many books in the world she wouldn’t have time to read, and this guy down the bar said, ladies—he isn’t worth it and my friend yelled IM CRYING ABOUT BOOKS and that shut the guy up

Had the discussion with my kid about shifting his thinking away from "I wonder if that college will take me" toward "I wonder if that college will value me."
It's a profound and important reframing for the college application process. #CollegeAdmissions
Please don’t be scared to dm be about books because of @kaseyypowers 😂
Advice for the youth: when catching up with @HeyMrsThornton , use google before acting like you know what you’re talking about
