Has anyone had a chance to look at the https://t.co/8NtmO9GRZC? #RuralEdChat

LindaAragoni Jun 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A1 #RuralEdChat The diversity of rural areas. We are so white here.

Same here in NH - very little diversity in this area but same #RuralEdChat probs.

In reply to @LindaAragoni

LindaAragoni Jun 20 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1 #RuralEdChat also the fact that most of the rural kids live in the largest states, including my own.
