@mark_joubert I clicked on you because you are well spoken in another response. I do think there is a fear for the way some of Trump’s talk seems “authoritarian” AND I I think Trump won AND I believe in a peaceful transfer of power and support our institutions. It is not either/or.

@FixingEducation I think it would be helpful if smaller districts worked together.

Students who do not get enough sleep…

•Don’t remember nearly as much
•Have trouble focusing
•Make more errors
•More likely to be overweight & have a weaker immune system which increases absences

PARENTS, please take phones away during bedtimes.

@HerronHCHSGolf For real?!?

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@MrDanielBuck It is not all or nothing. Please don’t divide us at a time when we are already so divided. It is possible to value social and emotional learning AND to care about structure and discipline. It is not either/or BUT it can be both/and!

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@MrDanielBuck Kids who work harder AND/OR know the material!

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@MrDanielBuck I had students spray parfum in my salad (which is technically a felony for poisoning food). It was a last straw for me at a school.

@trehartwell_ @CoachTBarr @CSmithScout @RivalsFriedman @NatlPlaymkrsAca @LadellBetts46 @NCEC_Recruiting @HawkeyeFootball @CoachByrd84 @wcsIHSfootball @ScottStidham Tre!!!! I am so happy for you!

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@MrDanielBuck I think it is lazy execution. You are exactly right……. Kids will be kids but the adults need to be the adults. Removing a kid from learning is not punitive it is a consequence to protect the learning environment. I am so sorry about this and I agree with you 💯

@Mr_JVD So cool that he played OL!

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@Mr_JVD Clear is kind. Set expectations and do not hesitate to let the university know your concerns. I’ve had a good experience and one where there was no way I could hand over my students to this person. When I called the university, they “knew” and appreciated my honesty.

@L_D_Washington That’s why I did parties during the review time before the exams! High school kids want to have a holiday party too!

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@AaronChalfin I teach high school at an excellent public school in a wealthy area - what I notice is the ability of some families to get help (college coaches, tutors, etc). I can only imagine that is exponentially the case at an elite private school. Is this what you mean by cultural capital?

@msreid65857288 I have a chime

@JacobsPhilip PS I am reading David Brooks’ new book “the 2nd Mountain” and I think the theme is similar a point.

[Sarah Bates King @MrsBatesKing]

@JacobsPhilip Yes!!! David French is spot on in his discussions of so many things!
