Transplanted South Carolinian living and teaching (Middle schoolers! Online!) in Rome.

#Coronavirus is connecting two parts of my life. This week I wrote a personal essay about my #lifeunderlockdown in #Rome for my hometown newspaper, @Gaffney_Ledger. Read it here: https://t.co/uJgkbEKRqz. #coronavirussouthcarolina #coronavirusitaly #covid19italy #COVID19US

@EricJLyman @Endlessartist @UffiziGalleries I appreciate art, often even more so when it is challenging and I struggle to understand it. This does not make me wonder what I am missing, only what the Uffizi Galleries thought they saw.

@asimo3089 @supernob12three @Roblox Just in case you didn’t see this message earlier, @badccvoid I'm a 3rd-grade teacher in Rome and am hoping I can convince you to help encourage a smart and creative student who is writing about you. Please DM me and I'll send you the details. Please!

@EricJLyman @FrankDNole To clarify, I don’t think it’s impossible, just improbable. And, honestly, a bit unfair.

@EricJLyman @Nike @WiedenKennedy It’s impressive when a commercial can give you goosebumps.

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

@teachergoals ...well rested human! Ha! Perhaps a salesperson at @Anthropologie, children’s theatre director, or esthetician.

A reporter, producer, & cameraman were all just arrested on live television. They were calm & respectful and volunteered to move. First they came for the journalists. @OmarJimenez @CNN https://t.co/Er2xvDGPp5

[Eric J. Lyman @EricJLyman]

First they came for the journalists. We don't know what happened after that.

@EricJLyman @worlduniranking An accurate reflection of the world’s singular focus for the last 80+ days. And, perhaps, (fingers crossed) an indication that the world is creeping back to normalcy.

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

Sometimes I get in a mood. I can be pissy and over #lockdown, over #teachingfromhome, and over the world. Then I browse @BernabeiVini's website and start giggling like a 10-year-old because they have a wine called Terre Arse!

@BetsyDeVosED What spurred your support for charter schools? Did you have a bad experience in a traditional #publicschool as an ADMIN? No?TEACHER? No? You served on a public BOARD of ed? No? So from your experience as a PS STUDENT...PARENT? No? Then this is based on your ed DEGREE? No? #money

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

@JillCox_Teacher @BetsyDeVosED Even worse, 10. Appalling.

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

For the record, it’s now 9 tweets in support of #charterschools. Thanks, @BetsyDeVosED. Signed, An Even More Disappointed Teacher

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

.@BetsyDeVosED, during #TeacherAppreciationWeek you tweeted 3x thanking #teachers; so far during #CharterSchoolsWeek 8x in support of #charterschools. This is just more evidence of your bizarre, puzzling priorities. Signed, Another Disappointed #Teacher

#education #MAGA

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

@TraceyKast @JulieSHasson @MsJachymiak Yes!!! #truth

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

@JulieSHasson Many have said it, but it’s all about being valued, appreciated, and supported. That includes trusting teachers to make decisions and listening to their ideas. And a small one - please don’t hold a faculty meeting if the same thing can be accomplished in an email. Value our time!

#embarrassing follow-up: About 15 minutes into my grade 6 #ELA class via #GoogleMeet, it was pointed out to me that I had #coffee on my nose. Not only am I not as well-garbed or well-coiffed as #Italians, I can’t even drink my coffee without getting it on my face! #onlinelearning

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

I ran down to the bar for a quick coffee before my last class of #onlineteaching for today. #Italians are abandoning the relaxed approach to clothes, hair, & makeup they've used during #lockdown. I suppose this means a return to pants with #buttons and using my #hairstraightener.

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

@ShanaVWhite Thank you for this reminder!

[E. Elise Sanders @EEliseSanders]

@EricJLyman Yes! It woke me up.
