@theDRAMAgoat1 Well what I’m accustomed to, is they might sign up at back-to-school night, but there’s a chance some of them will be at least two hours late or won’t schedule a conference at all. Not sure what to say.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@silentkil_er Absolutely yes. It could be love.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@poptrtsrravioli @JayWamsted That is also the truth. Every year the expectations, get higher, and the social skills that most of the children come in with are lower. I know I’m not supposed to use the word lower.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@mooramana I am so very sorry. I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through from your loss.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@poptrtsrravioli @JayWamsted I think that’s because they also turned Kindergarten into PreK under the premise/expectation that all children would get to go to PreK. Which they don’t. You have to know about, apply, and then qualify by income to even be considered for PreK in my county.

@Yo_Soy_Tormenta @MarcusLuther6 We’re calling them calm down corners now. 😑

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@MarcusLuther6 This is so true. Public education is a non-profit industry that is pecked at and stripped away by for-profit vultures. It makes me sick.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@Corrie_EdTech @sage_stage Amen! The worst days are when there are no paper towels, toilet paper or soap in the few adult bathrooms that exist. We’ve taken to posting signs on the bathroom door in case someone from building services is working @ night. So many germs, so little soap, paper towels. & time.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@sage_stage I’m right there with you. In my case and perhaps others, you’ve worked longer, harder, and smarter for so many years, that your body and mind just can’t keep doing it. The other people who should’ve stepped in and done same long ago should step in now. And the newbies doing same.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@sage_stage You are not the only teacher to tell me that today! Your body just takes over to continue to help children, in my opinion.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@sage_stage That makes total sense.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@theDRAMAgoat1 Today at a staff meeting the principal announced that she’d recently been made aware that teachers were trying to “make” students say the Pledge. They were admonished, and informed you were not allowed to do that. Nothing was said about an invitation to stand.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@sage_stage Ha ha.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@sage_stage Got it. I’m pretty sure you’re in DC. I am next door in a different district.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@sage_stage Are you teaching virtually or in person? Are you in the DC region?

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@militia_2022 @MrHutchcraft @truthwins @SecCardona All of your answers lie in the beginning of his handle. Wood shed. He’s going to beat everyone into submission, from his POV.

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@aferrellwriter @sage_stage Does that mean Saturday school on the East Coast?

[DogMomTeach @DogMomTeach]

@tbeaman95 @sage_stage That is so true, especially in elementary school.
