Don't do this shit. You don't know why that person is returning donations for gift cards. Did their child get sick, and they can't afford medicine? Will that gift card pay for 2 month's worth of food? They're in their own right to do whatever they want. Don't police poor people.
Check out this exchange I had with then private citizen @realDonaldTrump on Oct. 15, 2008. We spoke about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he then offered his thoughts about impeachment.

School culture is not created by a mission statement, catch phrases or even a set of beliefs, but it is created by the ACTIONS of the whole staff.
A student bombs a test. Teacher #1 responds: "What did you think was going to happen when you sleep in class and don't study?" Teacher #2 responds: "You can do so much better! I believe in you!" The way we interact with students matters. Our words matter.

When students come to 5th grade, they remain uncertain as to why they have to track their thinking as they read. We spent time this week working to understand how this can help us to grow as readers and when writing down our thinking is helpful and when it gets in the way.
A3 I've heard of schools who video kids at the beginning of the year talking about their goals, then using them in family conferences. At the end of the year, the kids watch their video, then are filmed reflecting on their successes and continued challenges. #G2Great
Please get the behavior / clip / stop light charts off of the wall! My behavior is not a decoration for your classroom. Humiliation & embarrassment are NOT valid classroom management / behavior strategies. #edchat #thatonekid #kidsdeserveit #tlap #culturize #leapeffect
President Trump's racism does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country. And it leads to violence.
5 ways to build culture: 1) Focus on finding solutions rather than complaining about problems. 2) Collaborate with others in the decision making. 3) Give colleagues the benefit of the doubt. 4) Celebrate little victories. 5) Always keep the focus on students.

A5 Regie Routman reminds us of the heart of assessment in Literacy Essentials: “Instead of thinking, ‘What’s wrong with this learner?’ let’s ask, what might I offer or do differently to ensure the student is successful?” #LitEssentials #G2Great
A1 We need a major assessment overhaul given the testing culture that celebrates standardized tests & test-fueled boxed programs. How can we demonstrate that we’re motivated by equity if STUFF is deemed more relevant than the unique needs of kids? #G2Great
My issue is not that we are giving standardized tests to elementary students during a pandemic, but my issue is that we are giving standardized tests to elementary students period.
A3 Reading Recovery is the epitome of a rich acceleration model (one to one daily support, professional learning/coaching, student-centered design. By contrast, popular one-size-fits all rigid intervention programs devoid of professional support HURT kids! #G2Great
Requiring children to choose books at a particular "level" for independent reading often denies them intellectual and social/cultural access AND the right to self-direct their reading lives. More cons than pros. #nerdybookclub
A1 There have been constant cries of gap, loss, slide and all kids have lost in this pandemic. We could start by addressing this deficit mentality and spend more energy celebrating what children HAVE learned. #G2Great
Yup.
Definitely wondering how we will maintain 6 feet of social distancing when we do active shooter drills #TeacherQuestions
I wish states would suspend formal evals this year and let admin focus on the following eval: How are you doing? Are you taking care of yourself? How is your family? How can I best support you right now?

The son I gave up for adoption is 47 yrs old today. I don't know where he is, or how he is, and I will likely never know. But I think of him all the time—more so, as I age and become ever more aware of my own mortality—and I hope he is well and happy and, most importantly, loved.

.@JoeBiden centered unity at the heart of our campaign. He pledged to fight to restore the soul of our nation and bring us together. That’s the kind of leader he is—and the kind of president he will be.
To the American people—no matter who you voted for—I will strive to be a Vice President like @JoeBiden was to President @BarackObama: loyal, honest, and prepared, waking up every day thinking of you and your families.
