Today it was revealed that Former President Carter asked Joe Biden to give his eulogy. Here are some things to remember Carter by while he's still with us:
- At 95-years-old he continued to build homes with Habitat for Humanity as seen below.
- In the 1960’s he supported civil rights, which hurt his early political career in Georgia.
- Jimmy Carter won a Nobel Peace Prize
- Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter are the longest married president and first lady ever.
-In 2006, he was instrumental in reforming the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, now the U.N. Human Rights Council.
Best wishes President Carter!
Your positive mark on history is a BIG one.

There's always something shady about someone who thinks Jesus needs a marketing department.

Our high cost of living an low wage scale makes it hard for young people to get started on their careers. They can't find places to live, there is no way they can buy a home or start a family. We are one of the oldest states in the country for a reason.

Hi all. I have an Arabic speaking student in my class and want her to be able to engage in our podcasting project in her first language. If you know of any teen-friendly podcasts in Arabic, please send them my way so she can hear examples! TIA #edchat

Dear Dems: Gen Z saved our ass.
Not just the party, the country, the west and the planet.
We need to make THEIR agenda ours in EVERY way. No more baby steps.
Go ALL IN on climate change, debt relief, social justice, repro rights, cannabis legalization & living wages.

NEW: exit poll data shows that more than 70% of young voters preferred Democrats in Arizona, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. And more than 60% of young voters preferred Democrats in Georgia and Ohio. This matches what I've been seeing from early vote data. HUGE.

Oil companies have already posted $127 billion in profit this year versus $42 billion over the same period last year.
Folks, inflation isn’t being driven by workers asking for better wages or government spending. It’s being driven by corporate greed.

I teach patho to nursing students. Every semester since spring of 2020, I have taught about Covid. And every semester to have to change my lecture to keep up with new data. I was teaching Covid this semester and I told them that if nothing else, understand the science 1/n

So ...... what you are saying is, these overdoses, which are indeed tragic are happening under Sununu. Seems to me you have narrowed down the problem already @GovChrisSununu needs to go. #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

Teaching is situational. Research can describe tendencies in larger populations--but it cannot dictate what to do in the moment. That takes judgment.

Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there’s only two outcomes to an election: either they win, or they were cheated.
That’s not democracy. And that’s where the vast majority of MAGA Republicans are today.
You can’t love your country only when you win.

Can we stop believing that Honors HS math courses should have loads of homework? That is NOT what makes a course honors. Deep thinking questions & investigations should take precedence over HW in every HS math class, even more so in honors. Say no to HW. Say yes to deep thinking!

When the president comes out as anti fascist and pro democracy and you feel attacked… Perhaps you need to do some introspection

For some people work is just a job. You do it, you leave it, you live your life. For other people work is craft and mastery—it’s a large part of your identity and a big source of fulfillment. Both are totally fine.
A thread on quiet quitting, which is becoming a thing:

If you are in one of Graeber's many bullshit jobs then quiet quitting makes a lot of sense. Why run around like crazy doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff?
The problem here isn't the people who are quietly quitting. The problem is there are way too many bullshit jobs.

Asking plumbers and carpenters to pay off the loans of Wall Street advisors and lawyers isn’t just unfair. It’s also bad policy.

Paperless does not improve learning. Just making something digital is at best the same, possibly worse since it was designed for paper. Digital CAN be better but you have to CHANGE the activity to take advantage of that. #edtech
