Thank goodness we live in a 21st century Christian nation where we can traffic innocent toddlers to ICE facilities and 14 million kids go to bed hungry every night! No one loves babies more than us!!!

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americansโ€™ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. Thatโ€™s how we ended up here.

I'm blessed to be a teacher in an air-conditioned school. Everyday for the past few months, I've seen and heard workers in the blazing sun working to replace our roof and reattach HVAC systems. I don't have the patience, perseverance or humility to do what they do. You first, Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

FOX: I think American citizens are willing to do the jobs that illegal immigrants are willing to do. LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Americans *are* willing to do the job. What we have to give them is the opportunity to have those jobs.

Worth rewatching.

Matt Damon: โ€œA teacher wants to teach.โ€ The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish โ€” as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.

I thought I left my arrival/dismissal walkie on, but I found out electronic, talking Christmas sweaters are a thing. What an exciting time to hang out with 21 six-year-olds in a tiny, enclosed space!

Hello #EduSky, What's the weirdest thing you've ever had to explain to a parent? I dropped my class off for Art. One of my students tied a knot in his sleeve. When he couldn't undo the knot, he cut the sleeve entirely off of his shirt. I had to explain the knotted, severed sleeve. #TeacherLife

Good Morning #EduSky fellow teachers, do any of you have school/community gardens? What are you doing this winter to prepare for your growing season? What vegetables do your students enjoy growing and harvesting the most?

Hope everyone has their Christmas lights up! The earliest sunsets this year in Memphis, Tennessee will occur this week between December 2โ€“6th. The sun will set each day around 4:47 PM.

You are up to date.
