After a long break I'm back... Looking for connections in the realm of HS alternative education.

I have friends who are currently delivering food, purchasing books, and offering childcare. This is what it means to #LoveYourNeighbor

My 12 y/o daughter has been home for 3 days due to surgery. With the next 3 weeks possibly out of school, she's using her excessive supply of post its to make a wall of positive encouraging messages in her bedroom. She's amazing!

@korytellers I have students whose learning will definitely be affected. I have parents that I work with who are single parents and don't have the support of other friends or family to watch their young kids who cannot stay home alone.

@korytellers Honestly IDK. I am a special ed teacher. I have a huge heart right now for what's going on in the world of my students and their families. Could I use a break? Sure. But I have families who don't know how they're going to feed their kids.

Extremely non-scientific poll, but I’m curious. Are you currently choosing to self-quarantine and social distance yourself as much as you possibly can right now? Feel free to comment and RT! Thanks!

@DonWettrick thanks for an inspirational and very informative talk that has re-energized me to find my passion and purpose in teaching again

@dannygokey #lifest2019

@dannygokey my daughter's friends had meet & greet passes for Lifest, but she didn't. THANK YOU for taking time to make an 11 year old girl's dream to meet you come true. When she grows up, she wants use by her gifts to act and sing & tell others about Jesus.

#lifefest2019 guest services needs your help today especially at 1-6 & 5-9 PM. Stop in the Expo center and talk to Kim O.

@Mr_JSpike * sorry, elderly not disabled

@Mr_JSpike Posted an article today about high schools giving PE credit for helping adults with disabilities with hard work. Talk about being community ready & inspired to succeed in our diverse world.

#WhatifSchool focused on making empathetic and curious learners before worrying about academics?

@teachjacobson Do you have the link?

@keithellison Quit this year, year 6... largely due to salary of 42k and 117k in medical debt for winning my cancer battle.

The average salary of a U.S. teacher was $58,950 in 2016-'17, which after inflation, is less than average teacher pay 20 years ago. AND that’s an average; a great many teachers make way less. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…

@jonrosenberg 2/2 But for the love of all things good, if they'll only eat green beans, cherry toms, & carrots at least they had veggies & if they only read graphic novels, well then, it's graphic novels to the rescue!

@jonrosenberg 1/2 Let the kids read what they want. Encourage them to try new things in the same way you ask them to try new veggies such as avocado and asparagus.

@jackie_mal Yes in elementary. Couldn't tell you one thing I learned but I remember lots more from that era. TN

I'm in a very heated debate: did you have to take a history course dedicated to your home state while you were in elementary school or middle school? Please respond yes or no and the state you're from. Again, this is very important.

@NeenahSchools my daughter is signed up for the middle school choir and drama experience. The location isn't specified on the website. Anyone have more information?

Best vacation ever! Normally as the mom and planner I still cook, clean, wash dishes on vacay - not with carnival! We will be back! #carnivalconquest

@FLLFlyer We are heading that direction and wondering how things are going with TSA and gvmt shutdown? Do we need to be early? How early is early?

Are you heading to the skies via #FLL? We are here to help if you need us.
