My kid's school asked me to donate supplies. Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues. I pay property taxes. My state has a $4 billion surplus. The federal education budget is $238 billion. And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck. And I'm sending in Ziploc bags. We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money. We fund schools with bake sales. And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

Nobody talks about the Spanish teacher who is the PE teacher today. The math teacher is covering the art room. The counselor is teaching English. All of it is happening because there is nobody else. This happens every single day in schools across this country.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, remember this: If we want the best-educated workforce in the world, we need great teachers. But we won’t attract great teachers when the average starting salary is just $48K a year. My Pay Teachers Act guarantees teachers at least $60K a year.

Just landed in Detroit to campaign for @MalloryMcMorrow and stopped at a gas station. $6 A GALLON. Trump’s war is ruining our economy - in Connecticut, Michigan and all over the country.

🚨 Worth your attention 🚨 β€œChildren need to wrestle and touch and share food and play synchronous games like patty cake. All that stuff is how you develop friendships.” β€œIt’s all gone now or at least it’s greatly diminished. I do not believe there are digital substitutes for children growing up.” β€œI think the only answer here is to keep them off. If you want to prepare your children for the digital age, keep them the hell away from these digital products until they’re done with puberty, which is around 16.” Jonathon Haidt Professor of Ethical Leadership

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

This is the saddest era in human history. We have everything one could want β€” electricity, running water, heat and air conditioning, homes, roads, schools, parks. Yet the ruling class and the bougiecrats are engaged in a humanicide because they always want MOAR for themselves.

These kids weren’t born this way. We did this to them. We handed them devices during the darkest days of the pandemic and told them it was β€œeducation.” We normalized constant connectivity as β€œengagement.” And now we are shocked that they cannot sit through a 50 to 90-minute class without phantom vibrations pulsing in their pockets. I am begging you, please, for the love of God and these kids, let us return to what actually worked. Give them paper textbooks again. Real books with spines that crack when you open them, pages that smell like 1997, margins where they can scribble their thoughts and doodles in pencil. Let them underline, circle, argue in the white space. Let them feel the weight of knowledge in their hands instead of the weightless scroll of a screen. Hand them pencils, actual wooden pencils, and watch their handwriting slow down long enough for their brains to catch up. The research is clear, but more than that, my daily experience is undeniable… when the screens go away, something in them wakes up. They remember more. They argue more passionately. They sit longer with hard ideas. They endure. And for the love of everything holy in education, institute a complete, bell-to-bell ban on cell phones. Not β€œin your bag on silent.” Not β€œface down on the desk.” Not β€œonly for emergencies.” Banned. Collected at the door, locked away until the final bell. Because every single time that tiny rectangle vibrates in a pocket, it rips another thread from the fragile fabric of their attention. We are not preparing them for the β€œreal world” by letting them live in their pockets; we are training them to be terrible humans, distracted, shallow, unable to listen, unable to wait, unable to be present. They deserve better. They deserve to be here, fully, with us. I am not anti-technology. I am pro-child. I am pro-future. And right now our students are being robbed of the ability to think deeply, to read deeply, to feel deeply. Their eyes are tired. Their spirits are restless. Their minds are starving for something real in a world that keeps feeding them pixels. Please. Let us give them back the classroom they deserve. Let us give them paper, pencils, and the quiet dignity of undivided attention. Let us save them from the very devices we once thought would save them. Because if we don’t act now, we won’t just lose their focus. We will lose them.

I don’t want my daughter’s teacher to be a humanoid robot named Plato. I want her teacher to be a human being that is paid a living wage and is not forced to work 3 jobs to survive.

This is truly the most beautiful video I’ve seen lately So tender and heart-warming, yet it makes you stop and reflect, with a subtle touch of sadness We may have gained so much, but perhaps we’ve lost even more✨
