Thoughts From a Middle School Teacher

Here to share teachers' experiences in the public school system & give comic relief to a stressful, overworked & underpaid profession. Feel free to share yours!

[Thoughts From a Middle School Teacher @MidSchlTeach]

Student: "YOU'RE NOT 30 YET?!"
Me: "Uhhh no honey, I'm still in my 20s"
Student: "oh I thought you were a lot older."
Me: "well, this is what working in education does to ya... It ages you."
Student: "True. And y'all don't get paid what y'all deserve."

F you @DonaldJTrumpJr for your remarks on "loser teachers." We work harder than you & your father ever will. Without us, you have no educated citizens. Who were your teachers? Way to START conflicts & bully like your father. #shameonyou #LoserTeachers https://t.co/q01p0XJJT9

@realDonaldTrump I've wanted to tell you for a long time that your temper tantrums remind me of my students when I refuse to give them the answers & instead make them critically think in collaborative groups. #YouCantHaveItAll #CollaborationIsKey #RemedialClass #EndShutdown

Standing in the hallways and I hear nothing but mass amounts of kids barking at each other... Who let the dogs out? No, who let the middle schoolers out?! #Monday #WhatTeachersThink #ObviouslyMoreCoffee

That response to that one student in your class that decides to test you after Thanksgiving break while you've got admin in the room... #TeacherThoughts #TryMe

Working in education, I've realized not enough people understand the normal day of a teacher or support personnel. Created this account to enlighten those that don't know. I'll post different events and quotes from the frontlines. #ThisIsTeaching #EducationToday #FirstTweet
