@brianschatz 🙏 There’s a lot people can do: 1. VOTE for candidates who prioritize aggressive climate action. 2. LEARN as much as you can about the problem and even more about the solutions. 3. EDUCATE anyone who will listen. Find values in common (like clean air). 4. DEMAND a CARBON TAX.

@drewsanocki I’m dying. When my daughter was about 5, she was using my phone while I was in the shower, accidentally FaceTimed a client, ran to the shower with a clear glass door and held up the phone in a panic. That was fun.

@dmaclee You do not have to put on a show every day. You need to plan lessons where 20% of the time it’s about what you’re doing and 80% of the time is about what students are doing—writing, reading, collaborating, creating. The sign of a good teacher is what their *students* do.

The two things that keep me most hopeful when I think about climate change are: 1. We know what is causing it. 2. We know how to stop it. There is no excuse for not solving a problem when you already know its source and its solutions. @KHayhoe @MichaelEMann @billmckibben

@thejasonkantor She rolled her eyes because it meant a commitment on her part to provide healthy food and set firm limits on screen time. It was a defensive response to dismiss what she knew to be true deep down. She felt like it was an attack on her parenting. But we all know you’re right.

@mikealfred Nobody wins. It’s a global pandemic. It’s incredibly sad that in the 21st century, with plenty of historical evidence that this happens every 100 years or so, the prevailing narrative was about who’s right and who’s wrong. Our egos will always be our downfall.

@ProfeDeAngelo Homework and over-assessing kill the innate drive to learn. Dr. Montessori knew this. My kids’ school (preK-8th) has a no homework policy. Kids are encouraged to read for pleasure at home. They produce lots of high quality work at school. It’s revolutionary.

@angryPenelope @ProfeDeAngelo This is not supported by research. If teachers used class time to let kids work instead of over-instructing, the gains would be huge. I’ve seen it with my own kids at their Montessori school. I’ve been told by high school teachers that the Montessori grads are standout students.
