I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

New pedals (I'm not ready to clip in), new saddle, new bar tape, new chain. It's all done but some cosmetics (new bottle cages, new accessory bolts, new rider). Thanks @baileylee1981 ! – at Rockwall, TX

Teachers say they work an average of 57 hours a week, but less than half of that time is spent teaching. Here are the eight tasks that they want taken off their to-do lists. #EWArchive edw.link/dku

You build relationships by developing a shared sense of how we expect to behave with one another, and how we value one another. It’s not magic. It doesn’t happen just because we really, really care about them, although we must. It happens because we *demonstrate* that care through our behaviour, and our expectations for their behaviour.
If you believe good classroom culture is based on relationships then you’re right, but if you think those relationships aren’t achieved by structure, routines and consistency then you’re probably wrong.

That look on a new teacher's face during a meeting with Failing Senior and their parents when they realize that their academic integrity is no match for my graduation rate.
