What has the Trump administration done with its first 100 days? Well, so much that some of it is easy to miss, even if you pay close attention to the news.

Should we tack on one year of school and get "caught up" from the pandemic? In rural OH we took off 1 quarter, but there were tons of outages through quarantine. If we took a year to redo, would that do more benefit, or do we just need the workers? #sschat 🍎 🗺️

Ugh. I hate *so much* that my typo from the intended "butt kicking" to "butt kinking" cannot be undone. It gives a completely different visual to the sincere concern. 😳
My alarm is over the purges in the top brass - it feels somewhat Soviet 1930s. And, all I can think about is how that strategy led to a total butt kinking of the Soviets by the Germans due to inept military leadership. Not good. I don't want to enter our ass-kicked era, Mennonite though I am.

Friends, I try to maintain a historical viewpoint of modern events, but I am increasingly alarmed about the blitzkrieg the feds are propagating. As we are only 1 month in, and have 27 months to go, I need some historical comfort from my peers. 🧵👇

Assuming the executive maintains the pace and direction, and assuming the legislative remains passive, how can America have another balanced gov't? It's difficult to claw back power, and anyone who cedes the power back looks like a Calvin C type of president. Have we entered our Authoritarian Era?

I'm starting to think about summer PD opportunities. I went to Europe last summer for 3 weeks, and plan to mostly stay home this year. I'll definitely do an FTE week, but wonder what else I should do as a WH and Econ teacher. What are your plans? What have you done that's beneficial?
