Schools Were Built for a Different Era

When I was a child, most parents read with their kids daily, checked homework, talked about the school day, and reinforced learning at home. Schools worked partly because there was real parent-school collaboration.

Today, many parents still care deeply, but modern life has stretched families thin: two jobs, stress, screens, exhaustion, fractured schedules, lack of local supportive family and community. Some casually propose homeschooling, but many families struggle to maintain even the old home-school partnership.

Teachers are now being asked to carry burdens schools were never originally designed to carry alone.

We don’t need parent-versus-teacher blame. We need updated systems for modern life — ones that support families, support teachers, and rebuild collaboration around children.

This is why feedback is so important! Lol

Ok, after years of encouraging a Content and Learning Coordinator approach in NL, I've decided to start selling resources on #TPTs. While I don't think teachers should be spending their own money to do their job...

[Mrs. Ennis ♥️ NL @MrsEnnis_Class]

I know how helpful it is to have quality, ready-to-go resources that can be scaffolded to support diverse learners. Looking for feedback/advice from teachers @NLSchoolsCA @EDU_GovNL who has used the TPT site in the past six months. Thx! ❤️

@z56cjt @GovNL I've even started my own business just so I have options because the system is definitely ready to implode. Teachers are frustrated with lack of support from gov and struggling to help their students succeed. I'm so happy my youngest is done school this year!!!

My daughter told me staff at her school had to cover at least four teachers today because they couldn't get subs. She's a teacher's kid so she knows the signs! NL schools frequently have shortages... And every teacher can tell you why!!! #Retention #Crickets @GovNL

[Mrs. Ennis ♥️ NL @MrsEnnis_Class]

@z56cjt @GovNL It's continuously getting worse. When I was VP I was often stuck between calling subs I knew and begging or taking people's preps and students' supports. You would not believe how many great teachers I've seen walk away from this profession. At all stages!

These educators are using AI to make students think more critically. 🙌

See how teachers in Northern Italy are using Gemini for Education to create activities that challenge students to question, analyze, and engage more deeply with content.

@GovNL @FIN_GovNL You can't have a stronger future without making education a priority. Our children are our future!

[Mrs. Ennis ♥️ NL @MrsEnnis_Class]

@TonyWakehamNL Sadly, education doesn't seem to be a priority. Studies prove that investing money in education saves money in the long run... Just saying😢

I ran into two former students this week. All 'growed up' and working🤩 When you get a hug after all this time...you know you did good!

Definitely one of the things I miss about being in the classroom ❤️

[Mrs. Ennis ♥️ NL @MrsEnnis_Class]

@chromeunboxed Uhm, I'm gonna need that Sheets icon rotated 180 degrees... Thank you.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

So true. 🧡

[Mrs. Ennis ♥️ NL @MrsEnnis_Class]

Knowing something does not mean you can teach it. The government/decision-makers are so disconnected from what's happening in the schools... it's actually painful.
