I teach 11th grade ELA & AP Lang/Comp. For my AP kids, I've selected the quote, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." Two other decals in my class will say "GRIND (Get Ready Its a New Day!)" & "In a world where you can be anything, be kind."

I have 4. I'll paraphrase them. Two are from Harry Potter "there will come a time where we must decide between doing what is easy and what is right" and "happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one simply remembers to turn on a light". One comes from Steven Universe "if every pork chop was perfect we wouldn't have hotdogs." And one from John Green "the world is not a wish granting factory"

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks.

How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

I’m concerned about the surge in omicron. I packed everything, just in case. Q2 is ending, a new quarter is starting. We get new kids each quarter as a Specials teacher.
It’s stressful at quarter changeovers.
In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.

Which of Shakespeare’s comedies works best with grades 9-10?

I’m really tired of R&J and they get tragedies in other grades. BTW-It bugs me that I can’t italicize book titles on this app. I’m I the only one?
