I spy an interactive anchor chart in one the math classrooms I observed today. Students equivalent forms (fraction, decimal, percent)they wrote answers on a sticky note then placed it on one of the anchors. great way to practice classifying and ordering rational numbers.

And you have to compete with bots to buy them! Imagine a shoe lover like me being told no.
That’s because kicks are $210+

Stay blessed Sir Douglas ❤️🫡🙏 praying for your continued success.
After years of working alongside Jim Hicks and the RCSSports family, my time as an employee of RCSSports came to an end in January. I want to make one thing very clear: I will FOREVER be indebted to Jim, Mrs. Sandra, and the entire RCSSports family for everything they have done for me over the years. They gave me opportunities, opened doors for me, believed in me, and helped put me in position to become who I am today in this basketball world. I can confidently say I WOULD NOT be in the position I’m in today without Jim Hicks and RCSSports. The knowledge, relationships, experiences, and opportunities I gained during my time there are things I will carry with me forever. Nothing but love, appreciation, and respect for the people who helped me along this journey. With that being said, this upcoming Rucker on Wood will probably be the last one that I’m responsible for putting together. So I’m asking everybody who receives an invite from me: COME OUT AND TURN UP ONE LAST TIME FOR ME! 🏀🔥 Let’s pack the gym, compete, have some fun, and make this one special. If this is my last Rucker on Wood, I want to go out the right way! Forever grateful for the journey. 🙏🏾 Thank you Jim. Thank you Mrs. Sandra. Thank you RCSSports. ❤️ Now it’s time for the next chapter. @RcsSports @SandraMenchaca3 #ROW26

Dawn Staley shares the question every recruit should ask and almost none of them do. "Everybody's good on the good days. It is who you can trust, who you can talk to and communicate with on your worst day." Then she explained what she tells every recruit: "We're gonna make you feel good during the recruiting process. You're gonna come here, we're gonna roll out the red carpet, we're gonna give you our best. Everybody's gonna do that." Every program shows you their best - that's the easy part. But it comes down to trust. "I want you to think about if it's 2 or 3 years down the line, when you in a slump, or when you lost a parent, or you broke up with a boyfriend, or whatever - Who's gonna get you back on course to be your talented self?" That's the real question. Not who recruits you the hardest, but who do you trust? And who do you believe will commit to you and your future? Everyone looks good when things are easy. The real test is who shows up when things get hard. (🎥@OldManAndThree )
Dawn Staley has won 3 national championships at South Carolina through connection and trust. She asks every recruit: "If it's two or three years down the line when you're in a slump...who's going to get you back on course?" Here's her full coaching philosophy: (📌Bookmark it)

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥 You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts. Hard is the lesson. Watch. Share. Bookmark.

“Hear Me…” Mike Tomlin GOLD 🔥 “It’s not what you are capable of; it’s what you are willing to do. Plenty of people are capable. Fewer people are willing.” Potential is common. Commitment is rare.

Parents who sit alone aren’t avoiding people. They are avoiding negativity, drama, and complaining. They just want to watch their kid play… without the noise.

The real teacher shortage? It’s not bodies. It’s the willingness to stay in a profession where expectations keep rising and support keeps dropping.
