Here’s how to debunk their “school choice” slogan in 90 seconds…
#FFPregame better long-term rookie wr stash, Mingo or JSN? I have Ridley & AJ Brown as my locked-in starting wrs. I drafted JSN, Mingo is a free agent.

This is not a drill! This is happening!
After much musing over the years about there being potential for an anime adaptation of ‘Scott Pilgrim’, I’m thrilled to say one is IMMINENT, with the whole cast back together and… you are going to lose your minds.

My ADHD was misdiagnosed as “smart but lazy”, “selfish”, “lacks effort”, “in his own world”, “too sensitive”, “messy and disorganized”, “always late”, “gets in his own way”, “sloppy handwriting”, “overly emotional”, “a lot”, and “not living up to his potential.”
This is amazing! Great primer for students before jumping into formal two column proofs! – at Lakeland Heights, TX
Here's some more "proofs" without words you can copy and paste into your own custom @desmosclassroom activities. What phenomena do you see here? 🤔 Happy exploring! teacher.desmos.com/activityb… @Desmos @AlgebraDesmos #MTBoS #ITeachMath #geometry #geomchat

"One of the toughest challenges that students face when they walk into classrooms is they feel tense. They're worried about being put on the spot."

Great quote from the article. "I’m not giving them something for nothing. I changed the narrative to redefine the floor at 50, so that failure isn’t worth more than success." – at Grand Prairie, TX
When teachers rethink their grading philosophy, they can help students' improve their academic performance in a mathematically fair way. Here’s what that can look like. 👀

Autism Spectrum Diagram
Reworked version. Feel free to share and use.
This is a simplification to illustrate a point.
The traits I used are just some of the ones I could have chosen.
#ActuallyAutistic
ALT Autism spectrum The autism spectrum is not linear, it doesn't go from less autistic to very autistic. The autism spectrum looks mor like : here it shows a round diagram with 8 sections. Those sections are: 1. Social differences 2. Interests 3. Repetitions 4. Sensory sensitivities 5. Emotional regulation 6. Perception 7. Executive functioning 8. Other Each of those sectors are more or less pronounced depending on the individual. Terms like high functioning, low functioning and Aspergers are harmful and outdated
