@GreyhoundBus My daughter needed to get home from out of state for training for a summer work opportunity. She had to pay an Uber to get to the bus station and an Uber to get home after the bus didn’t show. She was “notified” it was cancelled more than an hour after it should have arrived.

@PHerman_22 Hi, Patricia. Thank you for reaching out to us. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please DM us the booking number, your full name, phone number and email address, so we can look into this. -CC

If getting somewhere is important, don’t rely on Greyhound Bus. Lesson learned the hard way. @GreyhoundBus

@GreyhoundBus This is a joke! My daughter arrived at 1:20 am to be on time for 2:00 am bus. “Notified” at 3:08. If you can’t provide the service, please notify people with time to make alternate plans. Now she’s out the Uber each way and the job training she was supposed to attend.

Hi Robin, Thank you for reaching Greyhound Lines. Regarding your concern, please be advised that our Fares and Schedules are subject to change without prior notice. In case of any changes, Greyhound Lines will sent notifications to customer to let them know. -MB

Tickets are on sale now for the PHS Virtual Performance of the spring musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat which premieres on May 21: parklandsd.org/departments/ar…

Not sure who created this, but a great idea for parents as we plan for whatever happens with our schools over the course of the upcoming school year!

@mrbgilson @KyleneBeers @jdsniadecki @Bob I was thinking the same thing!!

@KyleneBeers @jdsniadecki @Bob How did I not know about this 😬

It was a great morning! Over 600 joined! @Bob and I might do 2 more - one for folks new to Notice and Note or BHH (called Notice and Note 1.0) and one for those ready to dig deeper (Notice and Note 2.0). No fee. Will judge interest by RTs. Early June.

The show was canceled, but the cast, crew and pit came together to celebrate last night to honor what would have been Opening Night of the PHS Musical. Check out the virtual opening number here: youtube.com/watch?v=YJyWJv… #ParklandPride #WeLoveOurParklandClassOf2020

Congratulations to the 24 Parkland Students that attended District Chorus this week! And a special congrats to those moving on to the Regional level💓🎼

@teachmbw @alicekeeler My own children had teachers that would do this. “Bring in 10 can of food for bonus points.” I had my children take the food, but they heard all about how I didn’t agree with this practice. 😂

@alicekeeler Same with extra points for bringing in food to the classroom (and this was not for a Family Consumer class), getting a piece of paper signed, the list goes on and on....

How is needing to pee worth classroom points? I think we need to really critically examine the purpose of points. Measuring compliance or measuring learning?

@CoachKCullen I am looking to start the same quest!!

These picture books need a new home! RT and follow to enter to win them! 💛📚💛📚💛

Adminisrators, teachers love to feel appreciated. And while mugs and snacks are lovely, what we really want is an ongoing culture of appreciation built through encouraging our autonomy, inviting our flexibility, coaching our failures and your regular presence in our classrooms.

Teachers are SIX times more engaged & effective when they feel valued & that their strengths are utilized in their school, yet 80% don't feel they are. Imagine what dynamic school cultures and student success could be achieved if all teachers felt valued and supported!

@tblkerr @Math_m_Addicts @robertkaplinsky I was taught the same (a long time ago!) However because “reduce” is so ingrained for many, I always let students know they may hear/see that word for simplify as well. I want them to be able to transfer their skills.

@Math_m_Addicts @robertkaplinsky I was told not to use the word reduce the fractions because reduce implies “making smaller” but you aren’t making the fraction smaller. “Simplify” implies being more direct with the answer which is what we are doing with fractions. ???

Anyone have a way of explaining when to use "simplify" versus "reduce" that they can share with me? I'm getting the usage mixed up. #MTBoS #iteachmath

@robertkaplinsky @amandat_hola Alg 1 in 6th grade and Analytical Geometry/Trig the summer between 9/10, so he could max out math courses offered. Skipped Calculus I and ll in college, but we decided to have him “repeat” the next course, so he had solid background knowledge and didn’t get in over his head.

@PHerman_22 @amandat_hola Three years!?! How is that even possible?

I wonder why we rarely hear about schools pushing students to accelerate through ELA. Schools proudly talk about a pathway to allow kids to take 3 years of math in 2 years... but rarely the same with ELA. How'd we got to a place where one option seems silly and the other great?

@robertkaplinsky @amandat_hola My son was grateful to have 3 years of Calculus in HS. He just finished his freshman year of college in engineering.

@amandat_hola Maybe, but I don't know if acceleration helps or hurts potential STEM grads. Hard to tell without a control group.
