AP Lit Teacher

lost in time and place, just trying to make sense of this world. I'm a mom, wife, teacher, lover of life and simplicity.

A lesson on how to treat teachers:
Trust trained teachers to meet the needs of the students in front of us.
Don’t create punitive systems for teachers who are not effective and apply to all teachers. This holds our best teachers back.
Be nice.
Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

So, I cried... Little bit...

@susangbarber I heard a principal say in an meeting “these new laws are going to limit classroom discussion. And anyway you shouldn’t be talking about sex in the classroom. If you’re teaching a poetry lesson, just teach the poetry lesson” I said “you haven’t read much poetry have you.”

@susangbarber @Soperclassroom As someone who has a very restricted diet, no dairy and no gluten, I’m glad I’m a distributed reader.

I sometimes forget that I have a twitter where I can post random things and then I remember so I post something random.

I’m watching @MadMen_AMC again for the 1178th time and it’s so comforting to me and I love that I need these people in my life on at least a weekly basis. I need them.

@PastelBerryPie It looks good!

(My first tweet since March.) I had an amazing day discussing the existential nature of Frost’s poems in one class and then the strange and bizarre life of Mary Shelley in another. Overall, it’s been a banner day. #lovemyjob #literatureislife

@KateySagal Praying for my husband as he is on day 5 in the hospital with Covid. He is not in ICU and is responding well to treatment. But I miss him desperately and hope he’ll be home soon.

@sebastianbach My husband is on day 5 in the hospital with Covid. He was unvaccinated; now he says he wishes he had not waited and would take the vaccine every day for the rest of his life if that’s what was required. Luckily me and my girls are vaccinated.

@annetdonahue I’m very sorry for your loss

Anxiety is through the roof today.

Yesterday, after 16 days in ICU, my father lost his life to COVID. Please pray for my family and please #WearAMask

@KateySagal Happy Birthday, beautiful lady! Sending love and light to you!

@susangbarber @apsupdate @GAEvoices @aps_we @DrLisaHerring We, in Florida, have been face to face since August, teaching in masks all day, can’t maintain distance in classes of 25, so kids are in masks all day as well. I’ve had to retrain myself NOT to circulate through and to limit group interactions. It’s been tough. Praying for you.
