Fun NC geography: If you drive about 370 miles west from Raleigh, you'll still be (barely) in North Carolina If you drive about 370 miles north from Raleigh, you'll be in the capital of Pennsylvania (planning to visit Cherokee County this summer, and this blows my mind)

Y’all…the guesses in the replies to this tweet are making me wheeze-laugh. This is middle school.
Randomly just got a call from my wife (a middle school teacher) during my prep period. Thinking to myself that’s weird I hope everything is alright. It was a butt dial and the first thing I hear is her saying “Why would you do that!?!?!?” Let’s start guessing what happened

If children only sharpen their brains at school, there’s no guarantee they won’t go on to make trouble. To balance their keen brains, they need a warm heart. The more compassionate they learn to be, the more useful members of society they’re likely to become.

This week is Public Schools Week! Public education is the foundation of our democracy. Let's act like it. Let's give schools the funding they need—and educators the respect they deserve.

For me, it’s nice to have a one stop shop that guides me in the right direction when sharing about countries that are a bit of a cultural blind spot for me. #langchat

Nobody asked for this info, BUT if you search on Spotify, “Made in …” with a country name they have pre made playlists presumably with songs by artists living in or connected to those countries. Here’s Bolivia:

Satisfaction is characterized by inner peace. It arises from generosity, honesty and what I call ethical conduct, a way of behaving that respects others’ right to be happy.

#Bilingual students have long stepped into interpreter roles. Now, a Nebraska district is hiring 20 bilingual high-school students to serve as interpreters in parent-teacher conferences, paying $18 an hour to help manage staff vacancies. https://t.co/OAdX3cOz3H

OPS has some full-time bilingual liaisons, but students and their families speak more than 100 different languages. The district has contracted about 20 students to help at parent-teacher conferences.
