Kudos to the @LancasterOnline editorial board for this timely, engaging, and pop culture connected piece on the controversy around the PA State House recess. Recommended for your next middle to high school #currentevents session. Link in comments. #sschat

Today’s classroom highlight, giving as part of citizenship w/ Lancaster County’s #ExtraGive in full swing. We explored the website’s categories to find areas of student passion & explained the role of community not-for-profits. https://t.co/3u5J3qF6GA

Students need to sit with the complexity and long history of the conflict in Gaza and Israel. This Monday’s @CNN10 encapsulated it well starting at 1:33. They can discuss this ongoing tragedy with civil nuance and moral clarity. #civildiscourse

Throughout history, people committing atrocities have convinced themselves they're a necessary evil. Evil is never necessary. Rationalizations perpetuate vicious cycles of violence. Noble ends don’t justify vile means. Violating human rights doesn't serve a greater good.

This morning’s #SDoLAllStaff kickoff was a great family reunion: heartwarming, poignant, joyous, and feisty! With a big welcome to superintendent @Keith_Principal, recognition of Frank Albrect’s decades of service, & Jess King’s rousing speech, our year is off like a rocket. 🚀

If you are looking for thoughtful discourse instead of talking points then you can find it here. Teachers, this is a great podcast for modeling respectful discussion on contentious issues.

@fearless_greene alongside @whignewtons & @MoElleithee are doing something amazing on this hour long radio show / podcast every week. Mature & nuanced discussion about weekly political issues treating other perspectives with dignity & admitting overlap.

Here Pence parses his duty to uphold the widely accepted reading of the Constitution and carry out his role versus the clear stake he had in maintaining his job & continuing the Trump / Pence agenda.

No matter one’s personal preference in the 2020 Presidential election, let alone Pence’s, this is a powerful moment of nuance not often seen in campaign politics.
.@Mike_Pence is confronted by an Iowa voter on his handling of the Electoral College count on January 6th. "I'm sorry ma'am, but that's actually what the Constitution says. No Vice President in American history ever asserted the authority that you have been convinced that I had."

This go-to data point for journalism puzzles me. While the partisan flip hinging on the holder of the Presidency makes sense, how can this data be useful aside from highlighting the increasingly constant siege mentality successfully stoked by the two major parties? #polling
Is the United States on the right track? Our weekly tracking shows that only 10% of Republicans believe the United States is on the right track, compared to 20% of independents and 49% of Democrats. Learn more: https://t.co/DyBCMHgenF

With little previews wafting through the halls of @McCaskeyHS today, tonight’s All City Chorus was a beautiful full sensory experience. A glorious culmination of @SDoLancaster’s weeklong celebration of musical talent from student and staff alike. #SDoLproud

A distraction epidemic is afoot. Students can’t get off their phones. Schools have had enough.

Administrators see them as an intensifying distraction — or, worse, a tax on students’ mental health.
