There is a caste system that exists in schools. It's an invisible hierarchy based on power, rank, or privilege, depending on whether you're a paraprofessional, special education teacher, general education teacher, or administrator.

✴️ Happy #InternationalTranslationDay and happy birthday, #IAPTI! 🎉 #xl8 #t9n #translation #interpreting
The moon, a sea of red, hundreds of lights breaking through darkness, and Mr. K. It was a simple, deeply touching celebration of a man who gave his best and believed, always, that making the most of each day is important.
May the light guide you home.

Mind the gap…
La storia di un amore eterno.
A Londra c'è una donna che si reca ogni giorno presso la stazione della metro di Embankment e resta seduta sulla banchina solo per ascoltare l'annuncio registrato dal marito nel lontano 1950.
Da quando è morto il suo Oswald Laurence nel 2003, Margaret McCollum si siede e aspetta di sentire quella registrazione divenuta uno dei più celebri "Mind the gap" (attenzione allo spazio tra il treno e la banchina) di Londra.
Ma da un giorno all'altro, dopo oltre mezzo secolo, quella voce è stata sostituita da una fredda e vuota registrazione elettronica.
Presa dallo sconforto Margaret ha contattato l'azienda dei trasporti della metropolitana londinese chiedendo che le venisse consegnato il nastro, al fine di poter continuare ad ascoltare la voce di suo marito a casa sua.
Tuttavia, venuta a conoscenza dell'emozionante storia, l'azienda ha deciso di ripristinare l'annuncio nell'unica fermata in prossimità della casa dove vive la donna, la fermata di Embankment della Northern Line, dove oggi tutti i passeggeri possono ascoltare la voce di Oswald Laurence e pensare che l'amore eterno esiste davvero.

This morning, I walked into a USCIS office as a U.S. Permanent Resident, and I left it as a U.S. citizen!
I can now call the USA, by right, name and privilege, *my* country, although it has always been such in my heart. ♥️🇺🇸♥️ #grateful #Allegiance #2Countries1Heart #USA #Italy – at Warrenton, VA
