Opinion: Every student should feel welcomed, respected & safe when they come to school. Our efforts here in KLSD to marry diversity & inclusion into the student experience is a part of that process. The class of 2021 demonstrated to all of us what respect and decency looks like.

@tinytempest I’m a high school English teacher (also from cincy) and I just discovered your work. Thank you so much for the beautiful writing. I can’t wait to share it with my students.

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

@BodeyBio I think we could pull it off.

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

@riemanatomy Such a great match!

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

I couldn’t be more proud of these students. What a great way to start the AQT season!

Great showing from the AQT on Senior Night! I couldn’t be prouder of my red sweaters

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

@JohnnyOatley Oh yeah? What are you reading?

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

@JohnnyOatley Sorry the school’s pop is shrinking. Still, I bet that gives you an opportunity to do some cool stuff. More writing, Socratic Seminars, that sort of thing.

@JohnnyOatley I have 160. What crazy, utopian world do you....oh right, Canada

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

@maurajuenger This is, in fact, both literary and funny. I wholeheartedly approve.

Good to be back in my room. Feels homey, doesn’t it?

@kimreed @TechNinjaTodd I agree that the teaching-by-worksheet thing is ineffective, and your school’s policy seems very sound, but I still don’t see how a 4th or 5th grade class could read a whole class novel without reading homework. And I do think that homework is worthwhile.

[Jonathan Bitzer @Bitzerj]

@kimreed @TechNinjaTodd 2/2 given that most ELA classes have to cover at least 3 content areas (reading, writing, and speaking/listening). There just isn’t enough time in the year to read novels aloud in class.
