This is why I print out common comments on mailing labels and check off the ones that apply.
Those are the comments I put on the rubrik/scoring guide to check off. Especially the one that reads: ”More than 8 mechanical errors - Stopped reading: Please edit, reprint, and turn in no later than tomorrow.”
I would maybe change the end to “You don’t even follow your own shitty ‘moral book.’ So please back the hell off.”

The cutest video of the day: Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu playing catch with a young fan.
DEUCE!!!
Dammit, I love baseball.
Take me out to the ballgame. TAKE ME OUT TO THE AWWWWWW.
So cute! I was in Seoul recently to visit my son and everyone we met wanted to talk about Ryu.
Good question! Help me out! What do I need?
Hand-sanitizer.
Good organization for you AND the students. Places labeled in the room for turning in work, finding and turning in late work, posting homework, a great folder system to keep track of work turned in and when it was turned in, etc., etc., etc.
The City of Minneapolis lit up the I-35W bridge and the Lowry bridge like this tonight in celebration of same-sex marriage being legalized in Minnesota today.
This is amazing.
Meanwhile across the border in North Dakota, legislature actually voted down a bill that would make it illegal to fire or deny someone housing on the basis of sexual orientation. Amongst all their other horrifically conservative actions.

“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

TED + PBS = TED Talks Education
Tune in tomorrow night, May 7, to your local PBS station (full disclosure, they make my YouTube show but I would be posting this anyway) to see their educational collaboration with TED. They are bringing some revolutionary educators to the stage to talk about how we can change the future of learning for the better.
Duhhhhhh the answer = Tumblr
Great minds coming together to do great things for education! More info here.
Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain (via soo-rin)
