Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted. #Election2020

COVID has caused a sudden obsession with making sure kids have “stuff” to do. Teachers are feeling the pressure to fill high amounts of live class time with compliance based lectures that fail to cultivate mastery. Keeping kids busy is not the same thing as keeping kids engaged.

One of my favorite resources from @Kareemfarah23's free course is this image featuring research on when kids stop watching videos. Keep those screencast and demo videos under 9 minutes! Encourage all of us educators to take the free course at learn.modernclassrooms.org.

Countless students have spent their whole education feeling rushed. Instead of giving kids more time when they are lost, we push them through content to “stay on pace”. By doing so, we reinforce the notion that speed matters more than mastery.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on the US House floor:
“In front of reporters, Rep. Yoho called me, and I quote, a ‘f---ing bitch.’"

"Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man."

To thrive during remote instruction, kids will have to be self-directed learners. The bulk of learning will need to happen away from teachers. That’s new for most students. Most of our education system has conditioned kids to think that learning is teacher-led, not student-led.

John Lewis once said, "You cannot be afraid to speak up and speak out for what you believe. You have to have courage, raw courage." In his memory, let's continue to speak out against injustice and have the courage to make #GoodTrouble.
