I was born in late 50s. Currently, I'm teaching a chapter on statistics. For the lesson on correlation, I was looking for examples of correlation vs causality. Discovered that in the 50s some thought ice cream caused polio because both peaked in the summer. See 1st comment.

Yesterday, I watched students panic over Canvas being down, deadlines, etc. Hey, your teachers/professors couldn't get to Canvas either. They couldn't grade, etc. I, too, waited so I could extend your deadlines.

Some RIFs will kill legislation, e.g the Ed office that oversees disability. IDEA was passed 50 yrs ago, when there was broad bipartisan agreement that a more inclusive educational system was a good thing.
It was repealed last Friday. No law was passed. Trump simply made IDEA a dead letter.

If you have had any interaction with education at the state and local level, you will know there are strong incentives for school systems to shortchange students with disabilities by skirting the IDEA mandates. That is why the law exists. Without a federal cop on the beat, states will know that it will be safer for them to ignore it. People at state governments see it this way also. One state director of special education told NPR:

I’m fearful. I think it’s good for states to know there’s federal oversight and that they’ll be held accountable. The concept of leaving special education up to states sounds great, but it’s scary. What happens if one state decides to interpret the law one way, but another state disagrees and interprets it differently?

I've never heard of Duluth Trading Company. I read the comments that pockets are important. I have bought a dress and am considering a second from Svaha. Wow the pockets.

With all due respect, please read this, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It's not yours to erase or destroy.

I never bought a planner. My old school provided. When I retired some charity sent me a table calendar that looked like a planner. I got two adjunct jobs. That fake planner was so helpful keeping my new life organized.

MO Senate did not allow conversation/debate before the vote of bills. Then "slapped" those who voted no. I worry about freedom of speech.
