Meghan Trainor won’t send her kids to school because of the rising gun violence. Fair point.

But… before cussing teachers, did she consider that teachers go to school every day, willing to sacrifice their own lives for kids like hers?

But ya know…f*** teachers, right?

@yesthatteacher @Kat_teaches3 I had shingkes at 14. Yea it sucked then too. Fun note.... You can get shingkes more than once.

Are you following @AdamMGrant? Because you should so you always see wise nuggets like this!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Personality types are a myth. Each trait exists on a continuum shaped like a bell curve.

The MBTI is outdated. You're more likely to be an ambivert than an introvert or extravert. And you don't have to choose between being a thinker or a feeler.

@npcox @ckstevenson @brianros1 Not in my dustrict. Only two courses are taught at the high school campus. And that started in 2019.

@helton_dusty @civics101pod What do you ask students to do while listening?

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@yesthatteacher I had a senior take an answer from gradesaver and run it through a thesaurus site which changed President G. Bush to President Shrub and President HW Bush to President Hedge. I cackled so loud as I gave that student a zero. Lord these students.

@Cabal_Educator 25 hours of PD to the PL Focus is a lot. Especially if a teacher is interested in other PD like AP or Mount Vernon etc.

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@MarissaIsAllEn @Cabal_Educator I aim for a 3.8 so I don't have to be formally evaluated every year. My admin supports that goal thank goodness.

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@Cabal_Educator Nope to both.... Supreme Court was clear that I can't require them to say it or stand for it. I ask they are respectful and quiet while others say it.

Love the reference to Lincoln's Fragment on the Constitution and Proverbs 25;11

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

American democracy is a precious inheritance—something rare in the history of the world and on Earth today. Constitutional democracy is the silver frame, as Lincoln put it, upon which the Golden Apple of freedom rests.

Let’s defend democracy and freedom with all we’ve got.

@yesthatteacher My students frequently tell me that I should run for offuce. I tell them I can't control my mouth or my facial expressions well enough for the job, 😂

@EMHSgoppel @CSPANClassroom @cspan My map came today too!

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@dbernstein20 @ravip3105 I think Daniel is a great option... 😂

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@k8roulette2 Man I wish.... I feel like with direct deposit it's unnecessary to deviate from the schedule.

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@k8roulette2 I've never understood this or the 4 checks on June 15 and don't get paid again until late August. 😩

[Ms. Blevins @Blev_Nation]

@Cabal_Educator I was able to transfer 9 hours of credit to my current program. Most will allow 6 at the minimum.

@tauruscatmom I ❤️ my Simplified Daily planner. I ❤️ the space the daily provides I can time block on the days that is needed or make a giant to-do list when that is needed. Paper is amazing. Covers are so lovely. I wish it had different binding.
