I am a middle school teacher in Western New York

Let’s start the school year off right!

•Give teachers time to plan.
•Time to prepare their room.
•To prepare ice breakers for the first few days

If you’re an admin, please don’t have endless, ineffective trainings/meetings the first few days.

@CalltoActivism I really love this idea! I may just spend some time this summer writing affirmations on pencils to give to my students next year!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

As a parent of young children I’ve never lost sleep over:

- The possibility that my kid could read an inappropriate book in the school library.

- Schools teaching my kid to be gay.

- Target selling rainbow / pride clothes to my kids

I have, however, lost many nights of sleep over the possibility of a mass shooting at a school.

Am I crazy or are the culture wars just baloney to try and create wedge issues for politicians who have no real ideas?

So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back 👊🏿 DONATE here: https://t.co/QFjBGwYDCL

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

@JulieSHasson Getting to know my students. Middle school is such a fun and goofy age!

People who try to get off the plane out of order are the reason we can't have nice things. #WeTweet

@AMLE Getting an email from a former student always puts a smile on my face!

[Help A Teacher @HelpATeacher]

Friday was one of those, "how am I going to teach another six years?" kind of days.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

So true. 🧡

[Blunt Educator @BluntEducator]

Teaching middle school doesn’t just require a special license; it also requires a pretty unique person who has to be ready for anything.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

To all of the teachers and staff that have one more week before holiday break: we got this… I hope. And if we don’t got this and it’s absolute chaos, at least we tried.

[Laura Klein @Lkleinteach]

@MsAmberChandler and I have a student who has never seen snow before. We are expecting up to six feet! Can't wait to hear what he thinks about his first experience!!

[Laura Klein @Lkleinteach]

@JulieSHasson @MsAmberChandler who is my rock inside and outside of the classroom! We have helped each other through the little things in life, and most recently the big things. I would be lost without her!

@Beyond_the_Desk @dbc_inc Boredom Busters would be awesome @MsAmberChandler !
