America, the election is almost here. Here’s what to expect when polls close:
The margins are going to be close, but our campaign is on track to win this election. Americans all across the country are casting their votes in record numbers, ready to turn the page.
It will take time to count every vote, and there may be swings in the count along the way. Donald Trump falsely claimed victory in 2020, and we expect that he will do it again. We know that he is a liar—but the ballots will tell the truth. Stay patient, and know that every vote will be counted fairly.
America’s election system is strong—and it will not be interfered with by partisan actors. Our legal operation is ready to fight to protect every vote and make sure every last one is counted. Your vote is your voice, so get out and make yours heard: IWillVote.com.
Together, we are going to win this election, and chart a new way forward.

one of my 7th graders just brought back a book and said "I realized I didn't like scary books," as they checked out a happy romance. And, yet again, this is why WE TRUST STUDENTS WITH THEIR OWN READING CHOICES. I cannot stress enough that kids GET this.

Parenthood has caused my perspective on homework to shift DRAMATICALLY lol

Gateway 3: Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love by @reckj shows “life is a lot more complicated than frying donuts thanks to an unlikely romance, confronting the past, and dealing with heartache.” Check it out today. #WeAreMehlville @Mehlville_HS

False assertions about the benefits of direct instruction, like the "Science of Reading" (and now, god help us, S of Math) campaign that egregiously misrepresents evidence about learning, remind us to be alert to exactly how research can be abused: tinyurl.com/3svzysmz

Picture book authors and artists, you will want to read Eric Rohmann and @candacemfleming's Talks with Roger. In particular, pay attention to Eric's discussion of the page turn. I'm going to be quoting from this for years. @HornBook hbook.com/story/candace-flem…

I don't know how @Mrs_McHugh picked this gem, but it was the perfect cry fest to end my family vacation and flight home from beautiful Puerto Rico. Family, in all it's forms, is just an amazing gift.

I just can't get over this poem.
ALT Sentimental Moment Or Why Did The Baguette Cross The Road? Robert Hershon Don't fill up on bread I say absent-mindedly The servings here are huge My son, whose hair may be receding a bit, says Did you really just say that to me? What he doesn't know is that when we're walking together, when we get to the curb I sometimes start to reach for his hand

When 31% of 13-year-olds report "never or hardly ever" reading a book, we shouldn't be surprised at the tragic NAEP reading assessment results.
(I fear the percentage is actually higher.)
Jared Reck retweeted
1/2 "Our schools are failing! Our kids can't read!" have been used to rationalize high-stakes testing, privatization, and now the SOR-branded phonics-for-all campagin. The alarmism often relies on misleading claims about NAEP proficiency levels in particular.

My big conclusion from hank's Cancer Journey so far is that people are kind, and they want to help each other, and that when we extend our capacity for empathy to include more people, we have a better shared world.
