#worldgeochat a6 fake news. This is when we can get excited and show emotion. I mean it's fake. Have them disprove it or prove it to you.

Also, discussion has to be repeated with Ss. Just like bullying- not a once assembly check off! #worldgeochat

NewseumED Feb 21 @ 9:57 PM EST

Good point! It can be a complex discussion to have! #worldgeochat
