Children should not be scared to go to school. Educators should not be scared to go to school. Parents should not be scared to send their children to school. Children should not need to learn to hide, keep quiet, barricade a door, take cover. This should not be our normal.

Troubled by kids' books about tough topics? Focus on fixing the world so kids don't have to live tough topics - not on banning books. Books are often the only survival guides and therapists kids in crisis have access to. #FReadom

Parents, even if your child was not directly impacted by this morning’s tragedy, kids talk. They hear more than you realize. I am going to post some resources in this thread about supporting kids through trauma. It feels like the only productive thing I can do.

I had so much fun this week being “Judge Trout” to kick off our argument unit. Check the thread for a few clips of students arguing whether or not video games are good for kids!
