Quick introductory post: I teach English as a Second and Third language and Ethics to high schoolers in Germany. I also support students with Special Educational Needs and am a passionate advocate for accommodations for those who need them. I've been teaching for >20 years and still love it. #edusky

An English phrase for when someone is getting on your nerves is “you’re driving me up the wall.” A German equivalent is auf die Palme bringen, which essentially means “you’re driving me up the palm tree.”

Amen to that.

![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports".
". could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".. means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned". means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Just helped a friend at her 8-year-old's birthday party. 21 kids. Bowling. I paid it forward from when another friend helped us with M's (unexpectedly feral) 6th birthday party. It was fun but boy was it loud...

I think this is the first time this has happened since A was diagnosed with #T1D. Two months with the Omnipod and we are very, very pleased with it.

New in PN: A band-aid on a festering hand wound
"The Epstein files and illegal boat strikes aren’t the only coverups taking place right now in the White House. There’s also something clearly wrong with the president’s health that the administration is trying to conceal from the public."

I still get emails occasionally from our old bank in Australia. To unsubscribe I have to log in to my account, which I am no longer able to do. Anyway, the subject line today was "scheduled outage."
I read it as "scheduled outrage."

Hey, #EduSky... Does your system expect/allow ranking of students? Either in their reports (like, mark 78%, rank 11/30) or when returning tests and assignments? If so, is it ever made public? (Like "congratulations X, Y and Z, you all got an A?")
