I’m not asking you, I’m telling you.
Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.
I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.
We are living our best life in Uruguay right now because Will was connected with the Embassy of Uruguay through @DCGlobalEd @EliotHine and decided visiting would be his HS graduation trip.
Hey @DDOTDC please note this giant pothole at Maryland/constitution/2nd NE that just gave me a flat tire.
Such a loss for our community, he was a great principal and advocate for the school. I wish him luck in his next adventure.
Our Steve Miller, Principal @EasternHS was presented with his very own proclamation from the State Board of Education. We're going to miss Principal Miller as he moves to Rome, Italy. @DC_Edvocate @Eboni_RoseDC @sharonabean
Day one at Eastern, Will came home and said he met a kid just like him. And it turns out he was right.❤️
A two'fer...presenting Eastern's Val and Sal who are both athletes. Their excellence in academics and sports makes them spectacular scholar-athletes. Congratulations guys! @EasternIB @DCPSChancellor @MayorBowser @DCPS_Community @Eboni_RoseDC @DC_Edvocate
Hey @thedciaa @dcpublicschools we call them student athletes but when @EasternIB students asked to push the playoff game a half hour for testing we are denied. That's shameful.
Today we showed up once again to demand DC’s money back. We need @SpeakerJohnson to schedule a vote right now- this week- on the DC Local Funds Act to ensure the education, safety, transit and basic functioning of our capital city- both locally and federally! This can’t wait.
You can absolutely go to hell @SenSchumer for selling out DC and the Democratic voters
.@SenSchumer (D-NY): "While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse … Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down."

It's the Gulf of Mexico.
Canada is not a US state.
Gaza is not a real estate trade.
Greenland is not for sale.
The world is not American.

A lot of people seem to not realize that some students are more expensive to educate because they have higher levels of need that require additional staffing.
Private schools simply do not accept those students in the first place.

The food received high praise!
