“Critical thinking and clear communication are two of the chief skills that secondary schools are charged with teaching, and the school newspaper is a crucial tool for cultivating both,” writes @MargaretRenkl. nyti.ms/3QjozVY
So grateful to @MargaretRenkl for penning this tribute to teachers. It's no fun being in the crosshairs of the culture wars. To protect our democracy, we must protect teaching and learning. #teaching #bannedbooks #englishteacher #APLang #ncte

Congratulations to the @KUHoops team on winning the national championship. This team was fun to watch, and they earned their first title since 2008 (which was a pretty good year).

FACT: Learning differences are related to how the brain processes information. They are NOT related to intelligence.
