So, we had a 7th grader get caught VAPING WEED IN CLASS today. In the front row. Just a few feet away from the teacher.

- Replying to @joshtpm and @AnthonySabatiniThese guys want to “sever all ties” with the federal government- but not all the money the feds send them to subsidize their red state economic troubles.

- The high school in my district scheduled an impromptu half day today so that staff can work on a new plan to improve behavior after numerous violent incidents. Apparently 2 admins ended up in the hospital the other day. My suggestion: punish bad/dangerous behavior.
- Replying to @RealLiveAxel and @wesyangTake counties out of the equation - why do blue states have higher gdp’s per capita than red states?

- Was just told by a colleague that our students have been using Google lens to cheat on their online math assignments & star tests. I knew about Mathaway. I knew about photomath but I’ve never even heard of this one. We’re never going to outsmart kids on tech. Bring back📄 & ✏️!
- Replying to @KelleyALynch1 and @JoshuaPotashMusk has been talking about “free speech” in the context of private companies - eg twitter.
