@missypurcell1 Yes! I so agree! My son doesnโt get a Quizlet practice set until the night before the test. Um? I put my practice vocabulary sets for Spanish out at the beginning of a unit and my students are able to get more practice and then able to use the words in conversation in class.
@teachergoals Thank you, I needed this today. I will continue to follow policies/rules, etc. because it is the right thing to do. As a teacher, Iโm supposed to be the example!
@coachb83 Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Teaching our young people how to win, lose, succeed, and fail with grace and understanding are such important lessons. Simply taking away the adversity never helps them to learn.
@Mr_Rablin I was actually considering deleting my Twitter account because of all of the negative posts that I have read recently bashing teachers but I am so glad I didnโt. This is one of the best things I have read in a long time. Thank you.
@SarabandeJules @strode_rhonda @WeinsteinEdu Amen, absolute truth, and my weekend once school starts! People really do not have a concept of the amount of hours that go into teaching that do not happen from 8:00-3:00.
@HolaMrsChurch Third prep..?!! Wow, that would be amazing. We only get one, so we teach 6.. this year with the overages in classes several teachers taught 7 straight through with no prep. But you do make a good point- you never know unless you ask!
