#RepresentationMatters tomorrow I begin my unit on Native American lit. Being in OK, NA culture is important. I’m hoping to get these items so when my students write their own story, they can accurately rep themselves. #Clearthelist#clearthelist2022

Great week at work! Where are my fellow high school teachers? Isn’t it great being able to be part of watching teens chase and achieve their dreams? #publicschoolproud#mps#highschool
Grateful God has placed me in a public school! I’m proud of our public schools and all the great things happening in them! #publicschoolproud#mps#teacherlife
I’m stunned. Apple just released the single greatest pro-parenting ad in the history of American advertising.
The pro-family cultural revolution is here.
Watch. Try not to cry…

@ryanmwalters 2/2 I even take groceries to Suzie’s house. Groceries paid for from my own paycheck. I encourage Suzie and help her get basic hygiene items at school. Suzie continues to perform low academically. So now my paycheck is going to suffer bc Suzie performs low?
@ryanmwalters 1/2 Scenario: Suzie is enrolled in my class. Suzie lives w/her drug addict mom & abusive step dad. Suzie works every night to provide food for herself & her two younger siblings. Suzie attends class, but struggles. I refer Suzie per protocol.
@johnnaisaacs@ryanmwalters Has happened. As a teacher, I have had administrators tell teachers not to say it. Instead, we were to say, “Happy Holidays.” This occurred at a district where I formerly taught.
I feel like schools need to be more robust in not being the cure-all for all societal challenges. Expectations seem to have risen way beyond education, what we all have trained in.We can be a hub, we can signpost to other agencies, we can support, but we can't fix everything.
