Creative Dad Illustrates All of the Funny Things His Daughter Says
from Twistedsifter – more illustrations here
Martin Buckner is an artist and graphic designer based out of Omaha, Nebraska. He’s also the father to an adorable daughter named Harper Grace. Like so many young children, Harper is known to say some pretty funny, random and insightful things. There’s really nothing more fascinating than a child’s mind and how they perceive the world.
Being an artist, Buckner has chosen to illustrate some of the funny things his daughter says throughout the day, culminating in a wildly entertaining series of posters which you can stay up to date with at the links below.

Things A Teacher Should Never Ask A Student To Do
by Terry Heick
1. Meaningless work
It’s fine to start with an academic standard, but standards aren’t meaningful to students. Either make the work meaningful, or shelve it until you can. If you can’t, ask someone in our department, building, or PLN. If they can’t, let’s rally to change the standard.
2. Read out loud if they don’t want to
You’ll have a pretty good instinct here who is fluent orally and who isn’t. While reading aloud with fluency is indeed an important literacy standard, little good comes of forcing students to read out loud when they really, really, really don’t want to.
The key may be, then, making them want to.
3. Set generic goals
Try not to ask students to get “goals for themselves” without showing them how to make authentic, relevant, or even S.M.A.R.T. goals.
If the goal isn’t as closely matched to their own human potential as possible, it’s generic.
