RE: the encouragement rock
One summer training I attended, the presenters gave out such rocks several days before the end of the 2-week session, encouraging us to pass them on to each other during the remaining days and then to implement in our classrooms. When I tossed a rock at another participant (we coordinated) and hit her in the back, they were all shocked at my behavior - until I pointed out that was what could/would happen in a classroom of 7th-graders, except that someone was likely to be hurt. I did not introduce the use of encouragement rocks to my students.
Encouragement rocks..great story and so true. There are people who get paid to come up with silly, lame, ideas and make it a thing. I am too logical to appreciate things that are not really useful tools. A rock? Seriously insulting to those health care workers.

A young girl asked Dan Crenshaw about a statement he made on a podcast during a fundraiser and he responded like the pompous jerk he is.
The attendees started yelling at him, calling him a moron and chanting LGB.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
At the end of reading his quote, in which he said something about archetypes and named off several historical people, the girl began her question, stating, “I can’t wrap my head around this.” Before she could complete the question, D.C.’s immediate response to the girl was a venomous, “Well, let me help you. Put a period at the end of Jesus Christ. And don’t question my faith.”
Definitely seemed defensive to me. Totally inappropriate response to a young girl. IMO, he is neither parent nor teacher nor dating/marrying nor elected representative material. LGB
