If you didn't absolutely love Shakespeare in high school, you had a really poor teacher. I'm not backing down. #edchat

I bought a new litterbox tonight. It's dishwasher-safe. Are there really people who would put a litterbox in the dishwasher? The horror....

Dear Daughter: Rumor says a "stuck" customer in JoAnn Fabrics' restroom used her cell phone to call the front desk to ask for toilet paper.

Clients deserve excellent mechanics when we write for them. I call it the "trust factor." Careless in front=careless in back. #blogchat

When I try to watch an awards show, all I can see is a waste of money. One ugly dress=food & shoes for hundreds of children.

Your message is important, but people won't wade through bad mechanics; they detract from that message. Use good grammar. Spell it right.

A diploma is good for the self-esteem, I understand that, but without the skills to back it up, it really means less than nothing. #edchat

It seems to me that "graduating" kids who have no literacy or marketable skills is cheating both them & the nation. #edchat

The photos & news of heretofore unknown universe, exoplanets, galaxies, etc, are filling me with gladsome awe. Where are the headlines?

Happy Birthday to "A Wrinkle in Time." I've loved it and all its many sequels for many years!

There is no pop machine on this regional campus. I might have to bring a cooler with me next week. Professor w. no Diet Coke? Poor students.

Tech: Not a believer in handing out for free, for keeps, but do think LOANING to students is excellent if they don't have their own. #edchat

By far the best PD I've experienced was @SteveSpangler 's "Science in the Rockies." Connections? I use it daily in WRITING class! #edchat

A good PD should help us see connections & help students understand them, too. English is science is history is math is music, etc. #edchat

How many of us know tchrs who haven't taught anything new in YEARS? Same lesson plans, same worksheets, same everything. #edchat

#edchat is the best PD, but there are still "teachers" who don't think anything online is worth their time.

I can't respect adults in any profession who aren't eager, avid learners: willing to upgrade skills, experiment, change routines. #edchat

I've had to sit through too many renamed failed old stuff being marketed as something brand new. If PD wants my respect, earn it. #edchat
