When kids cheat on assignments it is because they have been taught that grades outweigh the importance of knowing things. We need to fix this. #CodeBreaker 🦾

Is there a better sight in a school library than seeing students relaxing, reading, and enjoying their space?!? I love my library! #allibraries #acmsreads @ Alexander City Middle School

Please stop the nonsense! Rather than preventing freedom of choice, maybe we could teach young adults how to self-censor. Not every book is for everyone, and that’s ok! Don’t like it, don’t read it. Censor yourself, but don’t censor others.
Yesterday we logged almost 200 challenges- about 150 of those resulted in immediate removals. This is a picture of all the books removed from one HS library, in one day, in one District, due to the objections of one man. This is not freedom. #FreeTheBooks

Books are tools for understanding complex issues. Limiting young people's access to books does not protect them from life's complex and challenging issues. #UniteAgainstBookBans #FreeTheBooks

Click bait. Fake news. Alternative facts. Learners are dealing with an unprecedented onslaught of information and need the skills to sift through and find reliable information. Learn how educators can help by streaming the documentary “Trust Me.” https://t.co/w9Y2ttxy9r

Parents - there’s a National TikTok challenge in which students are instructed to trash the restroom at school. Please have a conversation with your child about respecting their school. It’s not only frustrating to talk with students about vandalism but disheartening.
