I like out-of-the-box thinking & these are some reasonable options:
* Offer emergency sub licenses to pre-service teachers.
* Incentivize retired teachers to return to the classroom. (1/2)

Parents, students and teachers: we are living in dangerous, dangerous times.
This is beyond troubling, beyond disturbing.
To the 4th grade teacher in Southlake: I am so incredibly sorry!

Our family been battling COVID for 10 days now.
We were all in shape.
We have what is considered “mild” cases.
And, it has absolutely flattened us.
I’m pleading w you to please rethink your Thanksgiving plans.
You wouldn’t wish this on your worst enemy.
Let alone those you love.

When we first started @sheeo_world I remember asking, "how many people here can name 5 women entrepreneurs" and it was crickets....feeling like that has changed a lot. Am I right? Can you name 5 women entrepreneurs working on making the world a better place? Tag them here!

Thank you @Tolerance_org for this great article. The work of anti-racism must be embedded into every aspect of school. First and foremost, it must be ingrained in the school culture - value, beliefs and mission. And make that culture known to everybody and drive everything.
"I do believe that it’s better late than never, but schools must be intentional and thoughtful as they begin this life-long commitment." @teachntransform offers questions educators should be asking as schools embark on anti-racist education work.

Now's a good time to remind everyone that members of Congress should not be able to own or trade individual stocks while in office. I've already got a bill for that – and Congress should include that provision in the next stimulus. #EndCorruptionNow vox.com/2018/8/21/17760916/e…
