Kids can do more intellectually than you think → Elementary-age brains are primed for memorization. They love poetry, historical dates, Shakespeare, and beautifully crafted fiction. BUT Kids can do LESS emotionally than you think → Their prefrontal cortex is still developing.…

A newborn baby lying on her mother’s face while having a sweet conversation with her dad.
Have been following the case of Noah Hansard for such a long time. Knew that the outcome of the trial would not help Noah walk again, but thought it would be an emotional triumph for him - and, his mom, who has been a tireless advocate. Instead, this. #injustice
We need to hold these criminals accountable. And I don’t just mean the ones who committed the crime. I mean the ones letting them off too! Victims like Noah Hansard deserve justice, answers, and accountability.
At Southwood High School in Shreveport, Louisiana, students were scared because of big fights breaking out. In just three days, 23 students were arrested, and parents were really worried about their safety. Then, a dad named Michael La'Fitte came up with a great idea: what if…
This beautiful sculpture was built by the Irish people in their own country to honor the American Choctaw Indian tribe. They were grateful because in 1847 the Choctaw people sent money to Ireland when they learned that Irish people were starving due to the potato famine.
Wow! Would love for teachers of #history and American #Government to see this!
I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
Y’all be safe. And, remember, if you do get stung, cold compresses & Benadryl are your friends. Multiple stings or stings on face, neck, hands, feet, or private parts warrant a trip to Urgent Care. #wasps

OK. You heard it here from Janelle! True, or red herring? ;) But. while I understand the anticipation - and excitement, there is no need for me to know - until the show. I like the idea of the surprise - as it unfolds - or, hits us, like a pie in the face, in just a few hours.

Could someone get this to 1) Anne Kirkpatrick 2) The New Orleans City Council ???
New Orleans 911 is dangerously inept. I called 4x over the span of an hour and every time it went to their automated message saying “someone will call you back”. Instead, I kept receiving this text message. No one ever called. This is deadly. @NOPDNews @Cassiewdsu @JPMorrell
My dad is amazing! I love you and I’m proud of you!
A person needs just three things to be truly happy in the world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
your children need to see themselves as part of a functioning family, not as the center of the universe.
A piece of wisdom I've seen given before that I really like is to speak to children as if they are already the person that they could become. Then, when you find where they are still under-developed, give them grace.
I can't believe we have to work so hard to convince folks what we need facts stored in our memories so that we can use them when we need them. I mean, how sad is that? Seriously? Where are we headed? Yes, we need knowledge because knowledge is power. Remember!!!
There is a two tier system of public education in American schools. One tier is the overwhelmingly majority of students who go to school day in and day and get zero rights to an organized, non-disruptive education. The other tier is the students with labels who have so many…
