I am a repo man. I take cars from people who don't pay their bills. It’s a dirty job, but it pays the rent. Last night, I had an order for a 2015 Honda. I found it parked in front of a run-down apartment complex. I backed my truck up and hooked it. A woman came running out in her pajamas. She wasn't screaming. She was begging. "Please," she sobbed. "I have a job interview tomorrow at 8 AM. If I don't get that job, we lose the apartment. It's my only way out." She looked at the car, then at the baby seat in the back. I looked at my paperwork. The bank pays me $300 per car. I looked at her face. She looked like she was drowning. I lowered the car back down. I unhooked the chains. "The transmission on my truck just jammed," I lied. "I can't tow you tonight. It’ll take me at least 24 hours to get this fixed." She stopped crying. She realized what I was doing. "Thank you," she whispered. "Go get that job," I told her. "And park around the block tomorrow night." I called the bank and told them I couldn't locate the vehicle. I lost $300. But I slept like a baby. People are more important than policy.

Ok my fellow Senior Friends, who doesn’t like to save some money 💵 FYI EVERYONE!!! I heard a guy ask for his senior discount @ Wendy's, The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.) This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start as young as 50. This list may not only be useful for you, but also friends and family, too.

If your kid doesn't know their math facts COLD, they can't do upper division math Learning math facts ages 10 is possible but kids' brains are more receptive when less than 8 (yes, really) I know you don't want to... but your kid NEEDS you to help them learn math facts♥️

The “just teach” crowd has no idea…

In a nutshell…

#nbc4 #weather #snowday #funny #chuckbell #booty

Policy wonks: YOU NEED ANOTHER STANDARDIZED TEST!!! Teachers: I need the copier unjammed, a bathroom break, and 20 more minutes of prep…

Kids don’t gravitate to subjects… as much as they gravitate to teachers.

Futures being coached up by alumni! It doesn’t get any better than this!

Teachers… 10 years from now, students will remember your kindness more than your pedagogy.  Principals… 10 years from now, teachers will remember your kindness more than your strategic plan.

Prime Days clearly should be July 17, 19 and 23

🧡

Schools are now structured so that the overwhelming number of student misbehaviors essentially have ZERO consequences. This is horrible for teachers…but it’s even worse for the students who want to learn!

Too funny! 😂🤣

Attendance matters. 💯 🌐 teachergoals.com

Teachers who choose to stay in the classroom for their entire career are just as important to the education system as teachers who choose to take on leadership roles. Schools need both. Pupils need both. Communities need both.

The Superbowl would be a lot better if it didn't start in the middle of the night at 6:30PM.
