As undergrad, I struggled immensely with this: reading and omg understanding papers.
Especially as non-native English speaker.
I did develop a system that helped me back then.
Bear with me it is pretty...mundane. 1/n

I printed each paper. And while reading I used a yellow, a green, and a pink highlighter.
When reading, I labeled every first mention of an abbreviation in green.
This helped me to find their meaning quickly again when deep into the text.

In pink, I labeled key questions and take-home messages.
If done correctly, you can look at pink sentences alone and recap the whole paper.
Peo-rip: first and last sentences of paragraphs often are pink sentences.
Pro-tip 2: write papers that have pink sentences.

(1) Dear America,
Teaching is an honorable profession.
Most teachers love kids, work extremely hard, and are highly educated.
Not all teachers are radical liberals.

(2) As a professional educator,
I've been shocked by social media and news stories
of teachers who behave unprofessionally,
of teachers who behave criminally,
of teachers who use their captive audience for political purposes.

(3) These people are in the minority.
They are bad apples (pun intended).
As in any profession,
there are those who are not honorable.
This is unacceptable.

(1) Cruz was an extremely troubled kid who was ignored time and time again by the police & FBI. He even called for help himself but was still ignored.
(2) Or was he? Was he tapped and groomed for a purpose? #KeepReading

(3) On the morning of the shooting, teachers were told in a faculty meeting to be prepared for a Code Red lockdown drill. Timing? Coincidence? Planned?
(4) Peterson saw Cruz enter the building. #KeepReading

(5) Cruz texted his friend in the Uber car on the way to the school. It was a casual "what's up" kind of text.
(6) Cruz was seen wearing black pants and a school shirt. He carried a backpack & longer bag (rifle bag?) into the building. #KeepReading
