I'm THAT teacher.

Just a HS History teacher with a whole lotta sass & a low tolerance for bullshit. Organization is the key to life. Lover of Starbucks™, the Red Sox, & beards.

My principal, when referring to why all of our student bathrooms keep getting locked, says that we’re in the process of shutting down “Vape Nation.” Honestly, I want it on a t-shirt. 😂

I love teaching, but sometimes I hate being a teacher.

I don’t expect anyone outside of education to understand what I mean by that.

In the last 72 hours, I’ve been told my favorite administrator, my favorite guidance counselor, and my two closest teacher besties are leaving. Send help. I am NOT okay.

One of my honors kiddos, concerning her “panic” over doing the extra credit correctly: “Ms. Epp, you don’t understand. I’ve literally always been an over achiever. Most kids swallowed pennies. I swallowed a quarter. Made a whole scene out of it.” 🤣🤣🤣 Happy Monday, y’all!

Reposted, because I was tired and used “less” instead of “fewer.” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Is it Spring Break yet?

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. 🙃

Completed the School Climate Survey today. What exactly is the VDOE gonna do to help/solve the anxiety and burnout we’re ALL feeling?

Here are a list of things I need at the moment:
-More time
-More money
-More respect
-Fewer meaningless surveys
-Fewer meaningless tasks

@Tracey_HSTeach SO TRUE .

If you take your child on a week-long vacation, please don’t ask me to send home their work for the entire week. I don’t even know what I'm teaching tomorrow.

This is how we do work days.

Took 10 years of teaching to get to the point of anxiety & depression so crippling, I need medicinal support. The stigma around mental health for teachers is exhausting. We have to do better. I love you guys. This year, like so many others, seems impossible. But we can do this.

It wouldn’t be the first day of school if I didn’t get a massive paper cut and want to die.

Also; the heat is on in the building. Today’s high outside is 90. 🙃🙃

[I'm THAT teacher. @HashTagTEACH]

I have never dreaded a school year more than this one. No desire. No will. No excitement. Nothing.

[JL😵‍💫 @CajunMSTeacher]

At this point I just want to go back to school so people will stop asking me to do things during the day.

[I'm THAT teacher. @HashTagTEACH]

One more day of instruction. Ooof.

[I'm THAT teacher. @HashTagTEACH]

For the first time in my teaching career, I am teaching the religion of Islam in World History I, during Ramadan! My kiddos always end up loving this unit...excitement abounds! 🤗☪️🕋

[I'm THAT teacher. @HashTagTEACH]

What does it say about me that I found 5 different to-do lists and every item is crossed off on each of them EXCEPT for “Grade World I” and “Grade World Myth...”

On the upside, I completed and turned in my Teacher of the Year Essays and Forms into the SBO today. 🍀🍀🍀

[I'm THAT teacher. @HashTagTEACH]

Walking through the store this AM, I realized that “Pull your mask up over your nose, please,” is the new equivalent of “Take your hat off, please.”

Adults are the reason my teenagers [in the classroom] don’t wear their masks properly. Do better. 😷🙃

[I'm THAT teacher. @HashTagTEACH]

Second dose of vaccine yesterday... kicked my ass today, but I’m still teaching, because it’s not like the whole school can call in sick. The SBO really stuck it to us on this one.
