...and @neiltyson is now officially an asshole. Parents and culture are supposed to help nurture desire and intrinsic reasons for learning; participating in the mass denigration of this is anti-culture, and NGT should be ashamed of "helping".
Some educators who are quick to say, "These students just don't want to learn" should instead say to themselves, "Maybe I suck at my job."

Looking to teach Anansi Boys to my Honors 9th grade class next month w/ focus on how authors draw on and transform myth (their district unit test includes a Bullfinch myth and a @MargaretAtwood poem). @neilhimself et al., any suggestions? #elateachers
Remember, kids: if you see your shadow when you go out to play in the snow tomorrow, it means 6 more weeks of remote learning!

I feel this, too. Every morning.
This would all be 1,000 times worse if the birds weren't singing each morning. #spring #Covid_19 #nature #songs
