Sometimes students who appear to be "apathetic" or "unmotivated" are actually just overwhelmed. When everything seems important, then nothing is important. @GCCE_LUC @theadac1 #InclusionRocks #SEListheRock

From sea to shining sea and places in between, I have met amazing educators dedicated to all their students. #BetterTogetherIDEA #ADAC #InclusionRocks

Students are not tiered. Interventions are. #BeyondInclusion2024

@LourdesMarie323 @WordswithSteph My great grandparents came here legally too. They got off the boat in Baltimore, got their heads checked for lice, and then citizenship. However, that's really beside the point. These poor people are seeking asylum.

Revolting report from the Houston Chronicle: Brace for the BOMBSHELL. To stop migrants from crossing the border, Gov. Greg Abbott has resorted to truly barbaric measures, issuing INHUMANE directives with very specific targets: Texas troopers have been ordered to push small children (including infant babies) into the Rio Grande, and refuse water to asylum seekers — in extreme heat. According to the Houston Chronicle, an unnamed Department of Public Safety trooper sent an email to superiors in which critical concerns were raised, including the following dire warning: “I believe we have stepped over a line into the inhumane." The alarmed trooper wrote of miles of “traps" of razor wire-wrapped barrels that have been set in the river in Eagle Pass to keep migrants from reaching land, but ultimately increase risks of death by drowning. The trooper reported the case of a mother and her two children who drowned earlier this month due solely to the razor-wrapped barrel traps. In another horrifying case, a pregnant woman was simultaneously miscarrying and bleeding out as she was trapped in the razor wire.

@alicekeeler Maryland was a free state.

The responses on this FB post from non educators is really interesting.

How I wish all schools would do this! It would be so helpful to students, families, and finding lost folders left in the lunch room! :) lnkd.in/gxGpebre

@kevin_ahern This is heart breaking and infuriating.

Whenever the poor are degraded and dehumanized … it’s a crucifixion. Lord have mercy on us.
