Julie R Wright

@Alice_J_Grimm I would have guessed yes until recently (BIL), but my sister says he didn’t vote. She’s a registered Republican who voted straight Dem this time (and voted for H Clinton and Biden in the past). My family is not religious, fwiw.

Problem of the Week 94! Please do not comment the solution so others can work it out too. Instead, like this post or comment a thumbs up if you think you have the correct answer! The solution will be posted in the comments on Thursday afternoon. #Problem #UKMT #Maths

@TracyZager I followed a link from here to sign up to follow 150ish math people but now I can’t remember who posted it. I wanted to ask them to add me. I guess it could wait till I actually get my act together there…

@TracyZager I’m going to try it too! julierwright there also

@onasty8 Hi, just listening

This isn’t vote shaming. It’s stating a fact. Harris losing will not move the party further left. It will not “teach them a lesson.” I understand why some people feel they can’t vote for her but reckon with the harm electing Trump will cause & don’t pretend her losing will help

@averypickford Yes, frequently!

@robertkaplinsky @openmiddle I’m thinking that is not how you want a third grader to reason, though. 😉

@robertkaplinsky @openmiddle I didn’t realize this was for 3rd grade so I solved for x(12-x)=24 & got 6 plus sqrt 12 and 6 – sqrt 12 for sides. Then if the one with perimeter 24 is “skinnier” than that its area will be smaller, and if it’s “squarer” (like 6×6) it will be larger.

How will students decide which is bigger: a rectangle with a perimeter of 24 units or a rectangle with an area of 24 square units? Check out this @openmiddle problem at: openmiddle.com/rectangles-per…

@OBrienSci @mistahbee45 I just want to validate that you are doing all the right things and trying so hard and that while you can have some effect, a classroom-only solution is doomed. So try to organize the teachers to push for school wide/admin supported.

@gshsmathmom @OBrienSci @GenuinelyJo That’s what we are doing at my school now, and it’s transformative. BUT the same thing didn’t work at all on an individual classroom level, only when the whole high school is doing it and the administrators committed to taking phones on a second infraction.

@OBrienSci @GenuinelyJo We have a couple of teachers at our school that have the kids put them in a plastic hanging shoe holder upon entering the room and that is how they check roll. The phone stays there until class is over

@ShanaVWhite It was good stuff. Also very healing after the last one!

@RachelLitLady1 Please keep in mind she may be getting misleading advice. My program insisted we should be speaking up in meetings as professionals right from the start 🙄 Also, I’m a little concerned about you putting this detailed negative stuff out for the whole world. Could she see it?

@Alice_J_Grimm I also find it kind of disturbing when people seem to feel beauty is on some kind of linear scale that everyone agrees on.

As we celebrate Labor Day, we must recognize the sinister loophole in our 13th Amendment, which allows for slavery “as punishment for a crime.” Slavery and forced labor should be illegal, no exceptions. That’s why @RepNikema and I are working to pass the Abolition Amendment.

@anniek_p Absolutely… and this pick makes me happy and hopeful because it shows Harris is willing to listen.

@Tim_Walz It’s because you told your daughter they are vegetables.

For the past few years I’ve not seen a turkey while hunting. Today they mock me.

On Monday 7/29 I'm attending The Democratic National Committee's event, “Women for Harris National Organizing Call” - sign up now to join me! events.democrats.org/event/653900/?…

@dr_nickiw I also just got my first case while traveling (as did several other family members this month, separately). Good luck getting off light (I did). Getting it less often and post/vaccination is still good, so at least we have the masks to thank for that.
