I’m a dentist and I graduated with 68 other ones. I’ve met even more in 13 years as a dentist. None of us have been asked shit about our opinions on toothpastes.

Things are hard right now in schools. Let's not make it worse with the wrong kind of urgency. Create spaces where students and teachers are known and supported, and good things will happen. @caselorg @jnjoiner @val_green @sarahmfine @LDH_ed nextgenlearning.org/articles…
