@joypcoffee I misread your tweet…I thought it said, “my dog’s friend”. Which could make sense, too.

@scotteabbott History and science. Thematic units that showed how the subjects were related. Now is dinosaurs with arctic, and Mayans. No relationships being modeled. Math is done after lunch.

@scotteabbott My k-6 spanned the mid 70’s to early 80’s. We learned about arctic climate, flora/fauna, natives of the area. We read stories about these, did art projects from the cultures we were learning about, did science and the math story problems had characters and items from culture,

@HelpATeacher Hiring bonus $3000. Longevity stipend $500. Doesn’t make sense. They stick around for one year and then they are gone.

[PB-n-J @AZEducator]

@FixingEducation The cost of insurance.

@jenteach13 No electronics from 9 pm to 6 am. It’s okay to fail. They need household chores or a job.

@notheydontcare No, facts. It happens every year. Some really don’t need the standardized test for their future so they don’t even try. Without a penalty for doing the minimum, many will take the zero.

@sharemath Teachers cannot control the amount of sleep students get. Parents have to step up and turn off all devices.

@itsrosesm Supreme Court ruled children do not have to recite it - First Amendment. Many States have laws that it must be said over the intercom daily and a few have added “a significant” moment of silence.

@jenteach13 These programs were cut due to funding. The materials are expensive. Same reason why science standards were changed …specimens, lab chemicals, and lab digital equipment is expensive, too. All the fun stuff has disappeared due to funding.

@educator4ever36 @julianblacks_ As A teacher, I get an email every time I allow restroom use in the 10/10. After five, we get written up. Yes, emergencies happen…and should be daily for the same students.

@saravdwerf I like My Favorite No. Also, Zombie Review. For those more advanced, a Fermi Problem: how much tire tread is used in one revolution?

[PB-n-J @AZEducator]

@sadantnan @WendyRogersAZ Yes, super majority in both houses…Please read the AZ Constitution.

[PB-n-J @AZEducator]

@azcentral If they do the same for all other careers, okay. Isolating laws to just teachers is retribution only.

[PB-n-J @AZEducator]

@Real_Ames It doesn’t get rescheduled because staff isn’t paid for another day.

[PB-n-J @AZEducator]

@Real_Ames Yep, rain doesn’t stop graduation. Lightening will.

@educator4ever36 @PhillyCSteak1 @marcportermagee The Legislature wants people in debt so they can dictate where you live and shop. (section 8 housing and food deserts)

[PB-n-J @AZEducator]

@educator4ever36 @PhillyCSteak1 @marcportermagee Yep. We did exponents, simple and compound interest, fees, loan structures, reading credit card contracts and rental/lease agreements to fund hidden fees. Researched places to live and cars to own. Insurance, too. Utility rates and start up fees.

@educator4ever36 @PhillyCSteak1 @marcportermagee The AZ Legislature decided the course wasn’t as rigorous as Algebra 2 so they pulled it from course offerings. So students now get 5 weeks of conceptual consumer math - no real math (calculations or spreadsheets) to earn a Seal of Financial Literacy for their transcript.
