Congrats to Hays High Senior Carly Lang and her family on signing her LOI to play volleyball and continue her education at Garden City Community College.

One of the biggest issues in education…

The people that make decisions for what is best for students are NOT teachers.
Nor were teachers even asked.

Year #29 of teaching is in the books.

I'm just learning that there are multiple school districts around the country that do four-day weeks.

Trainings & meetings on Friday. Probably virtual tutoring when it's needed.

Someone explain to me why we all aren't doing this? As a teacher & a parent I love it.

The Hays HS Helping Hands organization is collecting non-perishable food items at the Hays vs. Great Bend basketball game on January 11th. Help us support a good cause!

This resignation letter is the epitome of current #teacherproblems.
Take a moment to read.

2nd photo/middle paragraph: “Children are becoming more defiant and entitled everyday.”

The end: “I can’t sacrifice … my mental well-being to be a doormat.”

All adults in our schools are worn out, burned out, and stressed out! I hope everyone is planning on a lot of rest and relaxation for the holidays!

In a recent survey regarding why educators are quitting at a RECORD RATE, one teacher responded:

"I work 55 hours a week, have 12 years' experience, and make $43,000. I worry and stress daily about my classroom prep work and kids. My health is being affected. I have to quit!”

Teacher Appreciation Week reminds me that we SHOULD appreciate teachers, but very obviously, don’t.
