@drakenhart Aww, thanks!
@drakenhart I certainly spend enough time with some of these children to be considered an honorary family member!
Today, a first-grade student of mine waited in line behind several other students just to say, "Chris, my mom loves my dad so much she poops with the door open."
Yes, parents: your children's teachers know the most intimate and bizarre details of your personal lives.

When will #climatechange push my current coffee habit to extinction?
@luckyduck Same! You can play it on just the black keys... With your knuckles!
@GeekDaddy Self-sustained in place of corporate-sustained, yes. But we have a lot more power when we stick together. To your list I'd add:
- Live together, with family or friends
- Share your stuff
- Share the food you cook or grow
- Buy things together
- Dust off your bike
- Support local movements that envision a post-capitalist future

@sajith Agreed.
@sajith It's the grow-ups we should be worrying about...
@sajith They're doing just fine.
5. A school exclusively for grown-ups whose children have better things to do than sit at a desk all day.
4. A school exclusively for children whose grown-ups don't care about college admissions until they're in their tweens or teens.
@sajith Howdy!
3. Progressive school with low or no tuition and strong family involvement. Project-based curriculum that actively pulls in community expertise.
2. Small school with mixed-age classrooms. Shoes optional. Kids help prep and clean up lunch.
Hypothetical elementary schools where I would love to teach:
1. A school in the woods outside of a smallish city. Outdoor campus. Place-based curriculum and frequent field trips.
