Powerful words and a gauntlet laid. #DoTheWork
FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM:
“We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

I wrote to my high school debate coach tonight and thanked him for being my most important teacher of all time. 30+ years later, I appreciate more than ever the values and skills learned there.#edchat #teacherscorner #PresidentialDebate

“I only have a minute.
Sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon me, I did not choose it,
But I know that I must use it.
Give account if I abuse it.
Suffer, if I lose it.
Only a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it.”
- Dr. Benjamin E. Mays
(and recited by Elijah Cummings) 💜

For real! #TeacherAppreciation #edchat
Been homeschooling a 6-year old and 8-year old for one hour and 11 minutes. Teachers deserve to make a billion dollars a year. Or a week.
