Highly recommend Something In The Water if you’re looking for good suspense! Definitely an adult read. Not for students. I couldn’t put it down!

@Bored_Teachers @taylorswift13 AMEN

@dominos it’s now been 2 hours and when I call I don’t even get an answer. I wait and wait then I’m hung up on.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@BagadeShrinivas @dominos This is my experience right now with 2 very hungry and disappointed kids. I’m so mad at myself for thinking I could trust them to deliver.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@dominos Life’s too short to wait this long past the expected delivery time.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@LuckyStarViewer @dominos At this point IF it arrives it’s going to be ice cold and old. When I mentioned that to the store manager all I got was “oh…if that happens just call back” 🙄

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@dominos ordered at 4:15 with an estimated 45 minute delivery time. Now it’s 1.5 hours later and I get this? Store doesn’t care when I call. I have 2 very sad and hungry kids. #dominosdissappoints

If you’re looking for a way to keep students engaged (yes, even *that* student) try a virtual escape room. Students are engaged, it’s rigorous, and ZERO prep work! 🙌 Escape the Woods - Context Clues & Vocabulary Review Game | TPT #middleschoolela https://t.co/zprKj1rqcQ

@teachergoals 4:30 on school days. Is it early? Ugh, YES. But I am so much happier throughout the day if I have me time in the morning to organize my thoughts and prepare myself. Rushing leaves me cranky and anxious. Plus I have a 50 min commute. 🫠

Priorities.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@Bored_Teachers 11 years in on the masters pay scale . I still make less than 50k as a public school teacher in NC. This is not okay. #ncpublicschools

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@getyourdorkon @aasl Which district!??

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@ReadByExample 100% this.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

We spent over 21k on daycare last year for 2 kids. That’s half of my teacher salary. I’m 11 years in with masters pay. The cost of living vs teacher salary isn’t realistic. We are drowning. Teachers can’t survive like this. #ncpublicschools

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@FixingEducation We spent over $20k in daycare costs last year for 2 kids. Twenty. Thousand. That might not seem like a lot to some people but that’s literally half of my paycheck. I’m over 11 years in and on masters pay. The cost of living vs teacher pay isn’t realistic. We’re drowning.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@siddypic @FixingEducation Right!? That was my thought! The district next to mine won’t even allow the band teachers to pick their own music anymore but sure, trust them with weapons.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@FixingEducation This is beyond disgusting. I read about it last night and was sick to my stomach. I’m a teacher and a parent. Of course I want safe schools. THIS IS NOT OKAY.

[LitintheMiddle @LitNTheMiddle]

@mchamberlainPE @teacher2teacher Same! Love a good laugh with the students.
