A day to remember!

Perennial reminder that Texas is among five states that deprive their public school teachers of their right to collective bargaining—a right enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

My AP Computer Science A learners take their exams tomorrow at noon! (And if they’re reading this—go to SLEEP.) I’ve never been so comfortable and optimistic going into exam week.
