People wonder why our teenagers grapple with mental health? In the middle of a pandemic, when it seems like the world is falling apart around us, I spent today explaining to one weeping teenager why, even after going to tutors, taking the SAT 5 times, and working her 1/6

@AndyBorstUGA One of my favorite clips ever (and of course I adore Emmitt). I even wrote about it for Grown & Flown! grownandflown.com/emmitt-smith-p…

As admission decision season begins, these 60 seconds are worth a listen.

So sorry in advance for writing "hope all is well!" in emails when I know that all is not well. 🫠

I would rather have been wrong.

Don’t tell Jimmy.

@lastrainforest Three of my students have asked me this morning if I will help them apply to the UK.

I’m tired, I’m devastated, my head is spinning… but now I have to show up for my students, some of whom voted in their first ever election. Now I need to be the support that I would have wanted and needed if I was in that position. Educators, our students still need us.

@SRuhle We did it at our high school this week.

Remember when we used to have mock election day in schools- students would actually vote, there would be a count, results & they'd teach about how the process works - and kids would have to research who rhey were voting for a why. It was a fun, educational & memorable exercise... How exactly would that work today?

I don't know who had the idea to sit @PeteButtigieg down with undecided Michigan voters and just let him cook, but this is just brilliant content strategy.

Me checking Twitter all day like they’re going to surprise drop the election results a day early

God grant me the confidence of the dude that tried to mansplain "The Handmaids Tale" to Margaret Atwood.

@mark_detterline I didn't see a single Hillary sign in my area (I4 corridor of Florida) in 2016. No yard signs, no bumper stickers. I have seen a lot of Harris/Walz signs!

Similarly, anecdotally, in the boonies of eastern PA, the amount of Trump signage is not nearly as overwhelming as it was in 2016 and 2020.

Cardi B, who is campaigning with Kamala Harris today in Milwaukee, is a policy nerd and an FDR historian. I loved when her high school history teacher defended her on Facebook.

@SRuhle You forgot grainy Taylor Swift livestreams. <3

Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and that’s more than enough. It’s okay to take it one day at a time.

@always_oges And it's literally on the building they go to five days a week.

@AllisonState Another problem is that many honors programs do not disclose their admission profiles or offer any data that might be useful for students/families. Many students are applying to honors programs with no shot of being accepted. For many, it's a waste of time and effort.

Just here to declare my continuing beef with Honors College prompts that ask students to tell them why they want to be in the Honors College. They're 17 yo and they barely even know what college itself will be like, so why don't you just say, "Read our website and summarize it?"
