Please read this. A child expresses themselves, tells their truth in a poem, and adults ridicule the child to protect their truth, which is to lie about how their truth makes this kid’s truth a painful reality. Sheesh. Smh.

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

@Julijano5 @FathereeAdam @Spire_Football I’m incredibly proud of you! This is a great achievement - hard work pays off! Continue to shine!

I’d like to thank God as well as all my coaches, friends, and family for helping me grow as a football player and a man. With that being said, I’d like to announce that I am committed to play football at the University of Saint Mary! @FathereeAdam @Spire_Football

@EmilyELA0127 @BrianMercerNKC @AntiochMS @NKCSchools Please tell Dex and Holly that Mrs. Barron is proud of them! Amazing recognition!

School librarians do not purchase pornography for their collections. Push back hard against this narrative. Push back like this is an existential threat to books and book access. Because that's exactly what this is.

Just cleaning out my daughter's room because she's going off to college, and look what I found! That stinker stole one of my ARCs of ACROSS THE DESERT! I'd like to give it away, so RT/F if you want it, and I'll pick someone by Monday. Releases 10/12! Thx, everyone🛩️🏜️🧡

@ChadSutton3 @AntiochMS @Northmen_OPHS Jett ALMOST smiled. Tell both of them to have a great year from me! ❤️ I’ll see Jett at graduation if not before that!

First day of 7th grade, Senior year, and of my 23rd year in education! Going to be the best year ever! @AntiochMS @Northmen_OPHS

@ChadSutton3 Congrats! I’m excited to see where your athletic and academic journey takes you!

So proud!!

@Dusti_Bowling You’ve made it under some Christmas trees too! I just sent one of my virtual kiddos your new book as a token of my appreciation for her hard work! :-)

Normally for Christmas we do very few presents, giving our kids something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. But this year... Let's just say there are already about 25 somethings to read under the tree, and I feel totally fine about that.

My 2021 list might just be twice as long, but it's always a good idea to review this list for any books you may have missed this year buff.ly/37lMApo

Great discussion in this thread

@emilyscallahan Well what was it?!

Since being back in school my 2nd grader found a series at his school library (and finished the entire thing in 10 days). He begged to go hang at the book store today to find a new one. It’s FINALLY happening for him. Series reading hooked him❤️👏📚
