https://lnkd.in/gQwMJ4se Parents need to learn the value of the word NO! NO, their children can benefit from downtime after school, and not attend an extra curriculum activity three to five days weekly. Choose one, if affordable, nearby, and preferably offered in the school.

What is the matter with our society that the psychological trauma of those he abused will never be undone. He remains free on the streets, to coach a youth sports team! I would never enroll a child in any sports team coached by a sex offender#sexualabuse#teensabused#nopunishment

Arrogance and hubris are ruling the Olympics this year. Noah Lyles exposed his teammates and hotel staff, where he isolated for a couple of days after testing positive for COVID. All for gold medals!

Historically, the low performing high schools have been at the bottom rung for over three decades and current abysmal achievements cannot be attributed to the Pandemic. There is always an excuse, an escape goat. Grads inflation from elementary grades upward are pervasive. Stop telling a student “good job” for average to below average performance#mediocrity#gradeinflation#education

Walking or biking to school in Chicago was SOP in the mid 60s. Weather determined if we biked or walked. Icy or snow - covered sidewalks dictated the preferred mode of transportation. Shortcuts thru neighborhoods and fresh air were perks. #bus bikes#bikingtoschool#cost-effectivetransportation#washingtonpost#climatecoach#@michaeljcoren

OMG! Students in the crossfire?! What next - hunting crossbows with built-in scopes from Amazon?Will TN provide and cover the costs of licenses to carry concealed weapons, the training, weapons and ammunition per teacher? The goal is to provide a safe environment for learning, eliminating fear of shooters and guns, not to equip teachers with guns. #tennesseelegislature#billpassedallowingteacherstoarm#gunsinschool#schoolwarzones
