@donwinslow She's not lying because she does not view sexual abuse of minors as concerning behavior. For her, that is a normal. She was providing the girls; why would she view what happened to them as concerning or inappropriate?
@davematthewsbnd 16 years ago, my hubby and I attended your SPAC performance....now we're bringing our 15 year old son for his first DMB concert. You can do the math! (PS, this is our 13 y.o. first concert ever! Start him with the best!)
@JamesAFurey My department and I frequently have this convo. 3/4 of us have been teaching for over 20 years, and our teacher training did not include such strategies. We were trained to do literary analysis. I am lost as to how to help and desperately need new training!
@educator4ever36 As a teacher who has been working 22 years and just cracked $80k....yes! I am good at my job, so while I worry about tenure in the sense that "they can hire a less experienced teacher for less money," I know that I am a valuable asset to a school.
@HippyMomPhD My husband, the AP Calc teacher at our school, would agree 100% with you. He will throw Alg 2 in there, as well, as a class that students struggle with tremendously and use very little throughout their lives.
@ModestTeacher I color code my handouts. Vocabulary is one color, grammar another, reading outlines, etc. Helps keep the kids organized. PS - I teach 10th grade ELA, and my students are DREADFUL at organizing and maintaining hardcopies, so I give them binders, as well! Power to the pen!!
Dear @Honda,
What is wrong with your 2020 Passports that my car has literally turned off while I am driving and sometimes won't start at all. And, why, when I take it to the dealer, do they say nothing is wrong. Asking because I am once again stranded in a parking lot.
