“I’ve come to believe that what children find meaningful about this season is a sense of regularity and ritual,” writes @JessGrose. “They mark the passage of time in their growing brains with cherished moments that often have nothing to do with gifts.” nyti.ms/3Bld4IM

As a third pandemic school year draws to a close, new research offers the clearest accounting yet of the crisis's academic toll — as well as reason to hope that schools can help. @NPRCoryTurner kqed.org/mindshift/59517/6-t…

Loved the scene between Gregory and Principal Ava on tonight’s @AbbottElemABC about how hard it is to miss class. There are definitely some educators advising on this show! #AbbottElementary

Social media posts are making the baseless claim that delays in election results are reason for suspicion. Counting mail-in ballots takes time, and not knowing who won on election night is not evidence that the results are fraudulent. bit.ly/3UhxU3c

Agreed!👇
On the off chance that Twitter disintegrates (I still think it'll lurch on in something like its current form, but I'm not sure): I have made so many friends and professional connections, I have learned so much, and I've become a better communicator thanks to Twitter. Thanks!
