Me: we’re going to read a living poet today. Her poem is from 1994
Student: oh, I thought it would be more recent.
Student 2: How old is she? Like 80?
Me: I was ALSO ALIVE IN 1994…. but yes she's 72.

@MelAlterSmith’s NCTE presentations didn’t prepare me for this 😂

[That Teacher Grind @teachergrind]

I’m tired of admin/educators and this refrain of “be more interesting than what’s on their phone.” 🙄

I literally had a kid tell me today that my class is really interesting but TikTok requires less brain power to be interesting.

I thought it was last weekend 😅 I was so proud of myself for doing grocery pickup on Saturday to avoid the crowd on Sunday… a week early.

Good teachers will incorporate the Super Bowl into their lessons on Monday.

Elite teachers have no idea what a Super Bowl is: they have spent every moment of every weekend planning for the week. They don’t have time for games.

One time a writer friend of mine got too drunk and sobbed bc she said there were too many books in the world she wouldn’t have time to read, and this guy down the bar said, ladies—he isn’t worth it and my friend yelled IM CRYING ABOUT BOOKS and that shut the guy up

@alicekeeler Do you have an article to share on the process for this? I’m intrigued!

[Jessica Lahey is on Threads as teacherlahey @jesslahey]

Had the discussion with my kid about shifting his thinking away from "I wonder if that college will take me" toward "I wonder if that college will value me."

It's a profound and important reframing for the college application process. #CollegeAdmissions
