There should be a teacher on every school board… and at every table where education decisions are made. Because right now, we’re making policies for classrooms without the people who actually live in them. You wouldn’t design a hospital system without doctors. You wouldn’t build a plane without pilots. But in education… we leave teachers out of the room

Attempted to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with a game @Yankees but can’t wait for a three hour delay. Will be back home before the game even begins.

Some students will walk in on the first day of school with brand-new shoes, a sharpened pencil, a smile, and a summer full of fun memories—campfires, swimming, travel, and laughter. Others will walk in with shoes that have holes in them, no supplies, a frown on their face, and an empty look in their eyes—carrying the weight of things they’ll never tell us. Some will act like they don’t care at all… but secretly hope we do. The start of a school year is our chance to remind every single one of them: you matter here, you belong here, and this year, we’ll write a story worth remembering—together. #maslowbeforebloom

A great overnight to Lancaster to see Air Supply, complete with lots of Mah Jong, a horse and buggy ride, and a visit to an Amish bakery.
