One thing that peeves me when non-public school teachers write about teaching is when they start by dogging āintransigentā teachers and then end by stating all the resources public schools donāt have (subtweeting the article on dyslexia practices in

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naĆÆve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

As a middle school English teacher, I need you to understand that (for me at least) this is an issue that district admin + publishers create. Class/grade level sets are ātoo expensive.ā But also āstudents need more exposure to the kinds of short form passages on testing.ā

Itās a sad reminder that the truth about Trump is that he just desperately wants cool people to talk to him. That desperation took him all the way to the White House this time.

I want you all to know that this isnāt based on outside economists. This is based on Trump Commerce data. I donāt know why the Forbes team is insistent on simping in their headline writing when they know people often wonāt click in to see the truth of reporting within the article.
