Crass ≠ Authentic

it’s pretty dope

I don't trust people with yahoo emails.

From a teaching manual written in 1885:

Yup,

Happy Resurrection Day from me and my baby daddy @PhillipLytle

When I got my masters at a large state university I tutored for the football team. They assigned me a player who needed “a little more help”... I asked him to write a paragraph about himself. Not a single correct & complete sentence. He read at the 3rd grade level. The worst part was that he was such a gentleman. All he wanted was to do work hard & be successful. But he failed out & went home, his dream crushed. he never knew “what he’d done wrong”. But the reason was in fact that he was such a lovely kid. And one of the best football players in the history of his HS. And no one wanted to crush his dream by failing him because he couldn’t read or write. All that time they told themselves they were being kind & doing him a favor. This was when I discovered the immense risk of perverse incentives.

I am old enough to remember the scandal of a politician publicly using a curse word. Not only is such speaking a regular part of their vernacular, but also they type it.

I have school tomorrow and need to go to bed. But these @PredsNHL have tied this game!!!! (My students will ask me if I have had enough coffee.)

My parents took my phone once in the middle of a severe depression, while on family vacation in the middle of the Georgia woods. I thought I would legitimately die over Thanksgiving break. I pitched a fit accordingly. 24 hours later I was bored, and my tantrum had tuckered itself out. I ended up hiking, skateboarding with my brother, toasting marshmallows, and having one of the best vacations of my entire childhood. I can still taste the cranberry sauce and hot chocolate. It doesn’t take a genius to see what the phones are doing to the youth. It doesn’t take a massive campaign, or a law to change it. Just a strong stomach for teenage tantrums and a patience that can outlast them. Take the damn phones.

Still hoping for an executive order all Americans will embrace! #UNITEDstates #BlueAndRed #Purple #SuperB

Sometimes, good leaders need to step down to solve problems such as organizational ruts. Agree or disagree?

Please, @POTUS declare the Monday after Super Bowl a holiday. #SuperBowl #NFL #AmericasSport

Waiting on news about the severity of Cam's injury

30-31% of 3rd-8th graders are reading proficiently in your schools.

Facts.

I genuinely don't understand why parents need their countries to make this decision when parents can decide to put up boundaries.
