Home Work
@Foofaraw13 @he_negash @MrDanielBuck My wife says that “no homework” would apply until upper elementary…at that age children start to be responsible for work such that, if they don’t finish, they might do so at home.

The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country
Amanda Gorman
A school in Miami-Dade has banned (for elementary students) Amanda Gorman's poem, The Hill We Climb, which she read at the Inauguration. According to @MiamiHerald the complaint said it contains "indirect hate messages." Can the school's review committee not read? https://t.co/VTIpFJReuc

Python: 4 Books in 1: Ultimate Beginner's Guide, 7 Days Crash Course, Advanced Guide, and Data Science, Learn Computer Program
John Russel
Highly recommend @JohnCleese's "So Anyway." You expect an insider's account of Python hijinks, but the book ends before Python starts and you get something better & much rarer in a celeb autobio--real wisdom and insight in a tale of people you've mostly never heard of.
