@AbigailHouser @afishertxst @tegantheteacher I agree that certain areas of dress code are targetted more towards girls. I had a similar experience in which I got detention for wearing a skirt that was barely above the knee. Specifically, 2 days detention because I tried to argue it... How flawed is that? #3310TXST

@AbigailHouser This is a perfect analogy! It's true that if schools want to go a further distance, they have to have more financial help. Progress is a team effort made by many moving parts and if schools can get more funding, the limit will not exist with what can be changed! #3310TXST

@tegantheteacher I agree with you that is one of the best skills we could be teaching to our students! When we were students (at least in my experience), we never really had the chance to learn more about what to expect from the real world... Hopefully, this is something we can work on. #3310TXST

@kristianteaches I also believe in educational philosophy that focuses on being central to students! Honestly, everything we decide to teach our students should be student-centered because otherwise, what kind of classroom environment would we create? Likely, not a very successful one. #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@SanchezeAndrea9 I agree. I think that flexibility in how we teach our students is such an important factor in determining their success. If we teach all of our students the same outdated material and don't expand on it as it relates to today, then we are doing something wrong. #3310TXST

@JackalinSalama1 Journaling is the perfect way for students to express their thoughts on paper! It creates a safer, more personalized experience and it helps them to build their relationships with you. I did not even think of journaling as a way of freedom, but this is a great idea! #3310TXST

@txst_cameron Yes! Love this. Freedom of speech is so important to encourage in our schools! As long as the speech refrains from harmful language or alike, the voices of students and teachers both should always be taken into consideration when creating a safe learning environment. #3310TXST

@teacherpaytonjo You and I have a lot in common! I also grew up struggling in the classroom and will always testify that my teachers made the most impact on my ability to succeed. They listened closely and made learning fun in a way I could understand; I felt as if I had been heard! #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@DanniKimbal1 I like how you used the word 'story' to describe each student's life. It is undeniable that each individual, even young people in our classroom, has lived a life long enough to share what they have been through, and it is our job as teachers to listen closely. #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@TriwizTeachJess Yes! It is so important to incorporate individualized lesson planning when it comes to our students. As a student who learns differently, I can attest to this. How are we supposed to make students feel at home in our classrooms if we neglect their own learning needs? #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@JuliaMeritt The quote says it all; if a student with disabilities is treated differently as opposed to some of their peers, this can create lack of trust within the classroom and there is potential for failure. This is why it is so important to make each student feel accounted for. #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@tegantheteacher As it should be, you are absolutely on point! It does not matter how you learn as a student, equal opportunity knows no specificities, much like the ones you mentioned. We can only strive, as future educators, to make this belief more commonly accepted. #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@loopyinschool Agreed! The quality of a teacher is seldom based on their background/who they are as an individual, it is based on how well they make sure each student feels safe, welcome, and accepted in their classroom. This will help students to practice this acceptance themselves. #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@teacherpaytonjo This is a great perspective when looking at just how flawed gender stereotypes can be! Women in the workforce, especially in education, have come a long way from where we began! Women have proven time and time again to be resilient and we are just getting started. #3310TXST

[Hannah Herrera @HanHundley25]

@DanniKimbal1 Love this! Many people forget that schools/teachers aren't there just to provide lessons for students, but they are also there to encourage them to use their imagination and to share their feelings! That is absolutely crucial and should always be a priority in schools. #3310TXST

@Elena00516198 @RethinkSchools I agree with you that spreading kindness while educating our students is of utmost importance! Teaching kindness along with subject matter creates more opportunities for all students; teaching subject matter alone can not achieve this. #3310TXST
