    A5-2: I ask more permission all the time but I also have two principals and two schools and double everything. Communication. #weirded

    Aw, man. I didn't mean to go all heavy! Other than that, I'm a strong believer in asking forgiveness, not permission 😈 #WeirdEd

    I also teach discipline (ideally leading to self-discipline! eventually!) on the path toward achieving creative goals. #WeirdEd

    A5 I put together an internship program for students to work w/ MQ-9 Reaper drones. For credit. I think I asked permission. Maybe #weirded

    A5 Permission. "Obvious to you. Amazing to others." #weirded https://t.co/C7wxFD3eWz

    A5 Usually if it occurs to me to ask permission the answer ends up being "no" 😜 #WeirdEd
  • oolalume May 10 @ 10:58 PM EDT
    A5 gotta ask permission to book authors & interrupt schedules #weirded

    I should add - I did not own any Reaper drones. Neither did our school. That was awkward. #weirded
  • scmaestra May 10 @ 10:59 PM EDT
    A5. I don't do that so much. I ask myself for permission so much that I figure anything going forward is already extremely vetted. #WeirdEd
  • senoritaRCwusd May 10 @ 10:59 PM EDT
    I'm still confused about that term. #WeirdEd

    #WeirdEd A5 Im a volunteer/stuT/care program employee,I feel like I need permission for EVERYTHING.

    I like the idea of bullet journaling. However, I feel like a lot of it is visual. I'd do it on my phone, but I don't know how. #WeirdEd

    A5: I don't "ask permission" so much as I "notify others of upcoming shenanigans when it's already too late to stop me" #weirded
