So proud of my friend @robertkaplinsky.com who celebrates 10 years of grassrootsworkshops.com this week! Starting a business is no small feet, and running one that can survive Covid and adapt to meet the changing needs in education is legendary.
Congratulations! 🎊
Bring it.
I work in public education; I can be outraged and hopeful at the same time.
No big deal, just my guy @robertkaplinsky.com teaching a lesson in Spanish to students in Barcelona, and FEATURED in a Catalan-language newsletter!

You are the coolest. If there was a word to define “calm confidence,” you’re the one. 😎
Some of y’all may have heard: I am thrilled to accept a position at two Elementary schools!
More joy, more hugs, different flavors of complexity, and I tower over everyone at the site.
Offspring: Dad, I think today is June 0th.

Yeah, @duolingoesp.bsky.social knows.
My offspring chose this fit for her last day of school and wanted to show me. 😍

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?
This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.
Okay, I'm gonna say it.
@peterliljedahl.bsky.social has a fantastic teaching structure that has transformed classrooms.

Think First Math
Stand & Solve
Math in Motion (taken)
Brains On, Hands On
White Fragility byu Robin DiAngelo
How to be an Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi
So you want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo
I just did my Ignite talk at @nctm.org Virtual. (Video coming soon)
Here are the books i referenced:
Dreamkeepers by Gloria Ladson-Billings
For White Folks who Teach in the Hood (and the rest of y'all, too) by Dr. Chris Emdin

Final thought
“Lamar is creating art at the intersection of Black men being the world’s scariest boogie men and the world’s most profitable commodity. And I think he’s accepted that’s where he is.”
All quotes from The Youths™️
“Every system of injustice depends on the silence, paralysis, confusion, and cooperation of those seeks to eliminate and control.“
I am late to the game on this book, but excited to start.
It isn’t playing the loot for Shakespeare, or the piano at [a jazz club in the 20s], but it’s something as good. And goodness has his own kind of harmony.”
Page 320
“I can’t right now think of a better purpose in life than to be a teacher. To teach feels like you are a guardian of time itself, protecting the future happiness of the world via the minds that are yet to shape it.
Emotionally, it was surprisingly easy to delete 13 years of the bird-website after the lead guy's nonsense this week.
I downloaded it first, here's a picture of my kid from that first few months of my bird-site account.
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

It’s a windy day in Fontana!
Stay safe out there!

I would like to lodge a formal complaint against the words “numerator” and “denominator.”
If we wanted people to hate fractions more, we could not have picked better words.
