As far as I’m concerned, every day should be #TeacherAppreciationDay. Their miraculous work is invaluable and their impact on our children unmistakable – even without a national crisis complicating their efforts.
Over the last two months, teachers nationwide have achieved the impossible: rewriting lesson plans in a matter of hours, rapidly mastering new technology, and devising innovative ways to keep America’s students engaged at a distance.
Congress cannot allow their reward for this inspiring show of expertise to be a furlough or a pink slip. The best way to #ThankATeacher is to ensure they and countless other workers in our communities have the support they need to continue their vital work. RT if you agree!

Just to be clear. Patrice’s talent should have left him rich beyond all of us.
117) Headliners, consider doing a meet and greet after your shows. The audience really appreciates it and it feels pretty good. Mine rarely take more than 45 minutes so it’s not a huge time issue. Don’t charge for pictures or autographs. That’s super tacky. #GulManTip #WriteNow
118) Last night @iamcolinquinn filmed another magnificent Special. Standup veterans, you can continue to do great work and reach greater heights if you write diligently and prepare like CQ. This weekend, PREPARE! #GulManTip #WriteNow
I'm at Lookout Valley Middle/High School for tonight's District 6 School Board debate hosted by @UnifiEdHC and @chattanooga2pt0.
Tonight's debate feature candidates Michael Henry and Jenny Hill. The incumbent Joe Galloway is not running to keep his seat.
I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for my teachers. This #TeacherAppreciationDay, I want to share a story about one public school teacher (and yearbook advisor) who made a difference in my life
When I was in high school, my dad lost his job & my family had to rely on food stamps. I still remember going to the grocery store and counting out the last five brown $1 food stamps to get some baloney & white bread, praying it would last through the week
It didn’t always though. Luckily for me, sometimes my English teacher would keep a bunch of us after school—then after a while he’d reach into his own pocketbook and say something like:
