It puts the *rough* in rough draft, but I just sent a rough draft to my advisor of my dissertation proposal.

PLEASE CLAP!

Announcement: If you teach an American Government course, you should be prepared for QUESTIONS today.

This email drop has taken ahold of the students as hard as anything since January 6.

They caught me all the way off-guard.

What’s your thing that shouldn’t be controversial in today’s politics but somehow is?

I want people to vote.

Teaching continues to be really hard — for almost everyone I know. I'm exhausted & bored with the repetition of my own daily, "Should I stay or should I go?" anxieties. My early Monday morning epiphany: I can't answer this question well without abandoning the old, "teaching as a vocation" nonsense.
I taught high school from 2000-2020. 

In 2023, I am back at it. 

So far, this is the hardest (by a lot) year of my career. I am not regretting getting back in the classroom, but I am definitely feeling with every fiber of my heart and being that this job is (structurally) impossible.

Ok it's late so we probably can't get into this tonight BUT tomorrow, can we talk about this standard?

"By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers."
(Last sentence of 3.OA.C.7)

What does this mean to you?

(Did I still have some people who I only got to talk to for the first time? Of course, but, being on the other side of that, I'm so grateful for teachers who already tried to reach out.)

It's parent-teacher conference season here!

As I tell people, the best time to have reached out to families and communities was the first month of the year. The second best time is now. As a teacher, I found that parent-teacher conferences were more efficient as a follow-up, not as an introduction.

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.

You made a difference—so much of a difference.

Rest always in peace, and always in power.

NEW: Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term.

Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.”
