As educators we stand for children. We stand for their potential, their dreams, their equality, and for helping provide to them hope in their life's success.
I can give you a litany of facts and research on why the family separation policy of @realDonaldTrump is inhumane, ineffective and unAmerican.
Or you can watch the video below where I highlight two stories.

When kids become older and are asked who their favorite teacher was, they should have a very hard time answering because every single teacher they had was fired up and a champion for them. @PrincipalKafele #JoyfulLeaders

I have to respond here. Baltimore, the place @realDonaldTrump says āno human being would want to liveā is my home. It is the place that helped raise me, the place I still very proudly call home, the place where Iām raising my children. (Thread.)

Warning:
Teaching isn't as easy as it may appear to be on Twitter.
Relationships with kids aren't as easy to build as it might look on Twitter.

āWe need to teach our children to read and to enjoy reading. We need libraries. We need books. We need literate citizens.ā We could not agree more with @neilhimself and @chrisriddell50 that all children have the right to read for pleasure. #RightsToRead theguardian.com/books/gallerā¦

We need to care about this more than test scores, college prep, and GPAs. #teachergoals

It is important to create a system where curriculum, standards, & testing are not intertwined w/ fed govt. Common Core created that link. AP CLASSES & STANDARDIZED TESTING were totally to the detriment of students under CCSS. This is good 1st step.

Common Core has failed teachers, parents, and our children. Thatās why I am issuing an Executive Order to eliminate Common Core in Florida. We will streamline standardized testing, make civics a priority in schools and increase the literacy rate.

Good job @NYGovCuomo. Books/words/communication are the foundation. They're still THE major influencers regardless of today's "tech"/emoji world. More so. W/o books, where & what would be OUR imagination, or the leaders in thinking/innovating/discovering..

Truth matters. Teaching our children to respect themselves, their community, and the world around them is an intrinsic human value.
Imagine and act according to the world you want for them.

School yr is starting for K-12. PARENTS, you've a right to look at child's records. Anything PREJUDICIAL needs removal. Sometimes teachers do it out of laziness/prejudice, but MOSTLY out idea to help next yr teacher. Regardless, anything removing HOPE from child is unacceptable.

School is starting for school year 2018-19. Remember to support students in success, congratulate them on - their hard work, positive attitude, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning. NEVER GIVE UP ON ANY CHILD.
