Teaching is not only a profession, it’s the ultimate profession. It creates, it nurtures, it defines, and it supports all other disciplines and professions.
Is teaching a profession? Here’s the real definition.
A profession is defined by six things:
Specialized training
A unique body of knowledge
Clear standards and ethics
Professional judgment
Service to society
Ongoing development
Teaching meets EVERY ONE of those criteria.
So why do some people act like it’s not a profession?
Because we’ve spent years undermining the very things that make it a profession:
We scripted teachers.
We standardized everything.
We minimized expertise.
We paid professionals inadequately.
We gave more criticism than respect.
But the truth is this:
Teaching is a profession.
In fact, It’s the profession that makes every other profession possible.

My Army Special Ops brother called dad last night & told him he loved him and to tell us he loves us too… and dad asked if everything was okay, bc he has never called just to say those words—it was a quick call. Now we are feeling uneasy. We don’t know where he is, what he is doing… or what he knows that we don’t— but God does, and so we pray for our military, America and my brother who is obviously feeling some kind of way.

Why is Trump spending so much time admiring other mens’ bodies? I offer an explanation that tracks with authoritarians throughout history.

Every single one of these companies deserves to fail for what they have done to all of us.

We shouldn't have to rely on midterms to save the country. Republican lawmakers should have had the patriotism and basic common sense to stop a compromised asset from destroying America from within a long time ago.

Do dog people understand the trauma cat people face where once a week we can’t find our cat(s) and we search the house high and low for them, sobbing, shaking treats, we convince ourselves they’ve escaped and we will never see them again, only for them to casually appear from nowhere minutes later, unaware we just had a mental breakdown in the kitchen holding a bag of Temptations.

.@JamesTalarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.
Your boss cares about politics. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics.
And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”

Politicians know this and choose to do nothing.
