Weather won’t be kind to schools this week, but we can all be kind to those making the tough operating decisions.

Superintendents 🙏
Transportation Directors. 🙏

Student: *Says name*

Teacher: “It’s hard for me to say that. How about I give you a nickname?”

No. Ask your students how to pronounce their name correctly, practice it as much as you need to, then say it correctly.

We can’t skip justice and get to peace.

“True peace,” my father said, “is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

This is truth! 🧡

The Supreme Court might feel far away from our classrooms, but their decisions have a direct impact on the future of our profession.

@MissOrbaugh @ZCSStonegate Thank you the fun opportunity @MissOrbaugh! How fortunate that students from across our district get to benefit from you as their remote teacher! ❤️

I'm hearing from many parents of young children of the heroic work teachers and administrators are doing to make the start of this surreal school year feel special. I'm not surprised. Educators are heroes. And are often left to fix the messes of the rest of society.

So ready for Meet & Greet Night!

Worth the read parents & teachers!

I cannot continue to use this platform and call myself a teacher if I don’t also have the courage to say these words:

I believe in an America where there’s justice for all, not some.
Black lives matter to me.
And this death caused by abuse of power should break all our hearts.

We’ve assembled a list of books that can help start an age-appropriate conversation about race with your child: https://t.co/tzwhIc5ntp

For all you do to make a difference.

For all the ways you make tough days brighter.

For each time you show up for your Ss, together though apart.

#DearTeachers, thank you. And happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

It is safe to say that teachers are working harder and longer hours than ever before... and I didn’t think that was even possible. Thank you.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Next week is officially “Teacher Appreciation Week,” but I think it is safe to assume that Teacher Appreciation “Week” really started in mid-March and will end... hopefully never.
