english teachers will have you read stuff like "the lottery" and "all summer in a day" and "a rose for emily" and then they just send you on your way, changed

Starting in June 2023, every California child under the age of 5 will be able to receive a free book in the mail, every month, thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library expansion to California! 📚

Yes, reading is important because it teaches kids empathy and critical thinking, but before anything else reading is FUN. Kids need to know that reading is one of the most pleasurable things they’ll do in life.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

We need to re-think how reading has been taught for the past twenty years. We first need to emphasize reading voraciously and for pleasure instead of analyzing random passages in isolation. “We murder to dissect.”

@MoniseLSeward *WHERE they put the waist. 🤦‍♀️ I’m first-full-week-of-school tired, don’t @ me

[Samantha Mann @MrsSMann]

@MoniseLSeward Rompers. They look cute on “influencers” but my natural waist is lower than wear they put the waist on those things. Plus was never a huge fan of the “get nekkid just to pee” issue

I think this teacher has had enough. 😂🤣

[Samantha Mann @MrsSMann]

I assure you, I am currently teaching “Macbeth” and ALL we’re focusing on is the toxic marriage between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth and how naïve he is for believing the witches’ prophecies. Today I’m dropping the “untimely ripped from my mother’s womb” on them & I am LEGIT EXCITED

[Ever Carradine @EverCarradine]

If you see someone out in the world and their kids are being terrible, throw a little kindness their way. Covid has left it’s mark and children, no matter how loved and well adjusted they seem, are struggling. They are frightened. It’s hard. So let’s all do our best to be nice.

A Michigan high school teacher made a TikTok video to show other teachers how to tape a hockey puck to each student's desk to fend off an active shooter.

We shouldn’t ask students and teachers to stand up to gunmen because lawmakers are too weak to stand up to gun lobbyists.

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Someone else pointed this out but the fact that so many children depend on school as their only meal for the day is a damning indictment of an economy that doesn’t pay ppl enough to live
