"Senate Democrats have a powerful tool at their disposal, if they choose to use it, for resisting a president who has no mandate and cannot claim to embody the popular will. That tool lies in the simple but fitting act of withholding consent. An organized effort to do so on the Senate floor can bring the body to its knees and block or severely slow down the agenda of a president who does not represent the majority of Americans."

1. Computer Rooms
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  True but classroom teachers should not be deprived of this special when they have a free period for planning, PD, contacting parents. COWS with a specials tchr to reinforce classroom instruction + classroom integration might work better.

4. Banning phones and tablets
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  These are routinely banned by administrations - they have not seen the every student response without district paying one red cent - that might change minds.

3. Schools that don’t have WiFi

7. Schools that don’t have Facebook or Twitter
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  Love communicating with grandson's superintendent on Twitter - I know before the 'official' notification sources when school's are closed. Wish principal and teacher had Twitter too OR let me into the school's Edmodo.

Libraries that only contain books and chess tables are obsolete.
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  I have a beef with this blanket statement. Libraries with books ARE invaluable for primary students. Once they are hooked on reading, then introduce digital reading. Libraries could have free hot beverages though....

Great teachers expect to make a significant difference in the lives of their students and reach high to be successful with each and every student in their care. They hold high expectations for every child — personalized expectations — not the one-size fits all expectations that lend themselves to standardized testing to produce accountability data.

  Have to laugh here, because we also remember those personalized expectations - was just reminding a former student of my expectation for him - and he is in his 30s !
