As Autism awareness increases, there is an odd bit of educational history I will share. "Gifted" classes were long used as repositories for learners on the spectrum. Which is not to say they were not gifted--they were. Educators were simply not equipped for their styles of learning. 1/2

A multi‑state audit found special‑education staffing shortages deeper than last year. This is a warning.

Pediatric RSV is climbing. Parents don’t have room for another spike this early in the season and I feel for them. Keep practicing hygiene we learned in very recent years. #Health

I do not remember the last time the United States hosted a war to defend itself on its own soil. We do a whole lot of 'defending ourselves' via offensives in far off lands.

You learn a lot about a loved one or colleague when they are tired, scared, or inconvenienced. That’s when what they most wish to conceal appears. However, that ought be the time my patience and understanding appear as well.

The country’s institutions are badly neglected. Maintenance is not a romantic concept, but it’s the only one that works. Example: Public libraries, parks and offices ought to be a point of civic pride. Nearly things around which we rally.

I keep seeing policy framed as personality. That’s how you lose a republic: by confusing governance with charisma. As low-brow as his rhetoric continues to be, I blame voters for being charmed by Trump's slick delivery and confusing quips for wisdom.

Most public debates collapse because people mistake volume for evidence. In the classroom, it might be time for educators to mute the loudmouths and encourage quiet learners to share their thoughts.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration will sanction a large unnamed bank over Iran, but delayed the announcement until Monday because of the September 11 commemorations. Even sanctions occasionally encounter calendar management. #Iran

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

The argument that Donald Trump invaded Canada today is much more compelling than many realize. The border between Canada and the United States runs through the middle of Lake Ontario. By claiming to have the power to rename the entire lake, Trump is claiming the lake. That's invasion by declaration.
