I have a small class with 6 kids, 2 of them are absent at least one day a week, 2 of them dated & then broke up & none of them talk. I had all these kids last year and they were fine, but this year they just stare at me & I'm dreading that class bc idk how to get them to engage & tbh it's boring

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Look, I'll meet you at the corner of 29-5/8ths Avenue and 7-15/16ths Street. I don't see what's so hard about this.

my kid is like "why is he saying stop? why is he saying 'oh no!'?" and (internally) im like "he's terrified. he desperately wants you to stop playing"

look I love "the monster at the end of this book" as much as anyone can but turning it into a game where you continually ignore grover while he pleads for you to stop playing is kind of weird!

everything fun we've attempted in the last month has either been rained out or it's rained the entire time (indoor vacation thankfully) and right now we are waiting in a plane getting shaken around by a storm. ...are we a family of rain gods???

Quote from "so long and thanks for all the fish" by Douglas Adams, about a truck driver who is a rain god:

"And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

In the dim early morning light, my shutter speed wasn't fast enough to freeze the wing action, but I really like the little flick of water off this yellow rosella's tail as it took off 😊
