Co-teaching with THE Ana Phillips! The woman, the myth, the legend. Much more productive and on topic when we work together!

For those that doubt educators. 👇🏼This right here. We love your kids. We are not out to cause kids harm. We are out to help them grow into great humans. Let’s get back to the narrative of supporting teachers and recognizing the sacrifices they make to help our kids!

[Brandie Bushee @BusheeBrandie]

So much talent being used to welcome back teachers!

[Storm Lake High School @StormLakeHighS2]

All staff returned today and we were lucky to have Nyalib read two poems to help us focus on the tasks ahead. #AmericasSchool #GoBigGreen

[Brandie Bushee @BusheeBrandie]

The best welcome back to school! Love these kids!

[Jean Knapp ⭐ @KnappJean]

Teachers: I lend pencils but don't get them back
Non-Teachers: Just have students return them at the end of class

Teachers: I teach but they keep looking at their phones
Non-Teachers: Just tell them phones need to be put away

Teachers: Thank you I have never thought of this

[Casey Hansen @thecaseyhansen]

Honestly, if you "don't know what your kids are learning at school," you aren't paying any attention at all.

Emails, phone calls, P/T conferences, daily work sent home, ask your kids... my gosh. It's not even remotely hidden by the school. #IALegis

[Deb Mortensen @dndmort]

Dear Students, When I am asked by a perspective employer about you…I will not tell them about your grades or the clothes you wore. Instead, I will share about your honesty, work ethic, leadership qualities, and most importantly, the way you treated others. #Pleaseremember

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Yeah, let’s not arm teachers

[Brandie Bushee @BusheeBrandie]

This!!!! Why is bringing a pencil to class all of a sudden a reason to escalate things and end up in the office?

[Julie R Wright @julierwright]

In one of my periods, I'm getting so much rage when I push for things that would be routine in a normal school year, like: close your Chromebooks; we're not using those now. Or: your assigned seat is at table 3. It's completely exhausting having these arguments w/ multiple kids.

[Dr. Jody Carrington • Psychologist @DrJCarrington]

It’s not the kids I’m worried about. It’s the teachers who hold them.

The more time I spend with teachers, the more I am convinced that I’ve never seen so many of them this tired, this unseen, or this concerned about our kids. Our teachers are hurting.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Our students’ mental health is way more important than any test score.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Just because most kids are in school buildings doesn't mean that this year is "normal."

Many are saying it's the hardest year yet.

[Jes the Activist Belives In Good Trouble 🤎✊🏾 @JessycaMathews]

Teacher friends that are returning tomorrow or Tuesday,
Please put yourself first.
Please try to find something that gives you joy each day.
Please be careful.
Please set boundaries.
You don’t deserve this anxiety and fear.

[Brandie Bushee @BusheeBrandie]

What about the schools that have a high population of vaccinated staff that aren’t returning due to being infected? 🤔

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Schools around the country are making a safe return to school happen. All because of the hard work of educators & school staff – and fueled by the American Rescue Plan.
