Chris Wallace's debate performance tonight is a great reminder that kindergarten teachers are underpaid. #Debates2020

[Kansas City Royals @Royals]

And with that, Alex Gordon's illustrious career comes to an end.

Thank you, Gordo. For everything.

It is such a dark time. my love and thoughts are with everyone who feels like they cannot take one more loss. Hold on to everything that gives you purpose and don’t let go.

“Okay, google” also works.
I did it by accident when I told students they could ask Siri or Alexa to define a vocab word, but then it went downhill when I realized I held way more power than they meant for me to possess. Mwahahaha!

OMAHA! We have until mid October to move COVID rates waaaaaaay down. This is a rare second chance to prove that we really care about children and education. Please have mercy on these kids, teachers, and parents. #thankyoudrlogan

Stop right there. I pick @OPSEquity and four of his clones.

@jonlandis had some great thoughts this morning on the future of education. Wow. Wow. Wow. I’m so excited to work with young people again and use some of these ideas. @OPS_LoganSupt

I feel like the people who refuse to be kind, wear a mask are some of the same people who refused to be kind, rewind their VHS tapes before returning them to @loneblockbuster. AND NOW LOOK AT BLOCKBUSTER.

This. Maybe your goal today is to move mountains. Maybe it’s to move from your bed to the couch. Either is fine.

[Morgan Sammons (she/her) @MrsSammonsSays]

@mrsbakerreads Love this! I got dressed, made all of my meals at home, took a walk, and I plan to go to bed at my normal time (instead of 2 hours later, like I have been).

*Flash forward to teaching in 2050*

Teacher: So let's say Cindy buys 120 rolls of toilet paper, and…

Student: That’s not realistic!

Teacher: Now let me tell you about what happened in 2020…

@Burke_AJ1 I'm updating my classroom library by buying kids books they want to read and having them sent to their homes. When we get back to school, they'll donate them to my collection.

[Rusty Lord WOWT @RustyLord]

Wonder who has it worse on Twitter the day before a snow...meteorologists or school superintendents?

[Morgan Sammons (she/her) @MrsSammonsSays]

I have completed my challenge of reading 50 books in 2019 with 3 hours and 49 minutes to spare! I guess I better crack open my next book, then. 📖❤️ https://t.co/VgyGAEpTdd

[Morgan Sammons (she/her) @MrsSammonsSays]

A student sending me their 2-page paper about how I inspired them to become a teacher. Spoiler: it wasn't because I taught them reading skills, but because I advocated for and supported them. A good reminder of my "why."

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Teachers/Educators,

What was your best/most memorable moments of 2019? (Don’t use the student’s name)

I’ll start: A student thanking me for always encouraging her to pursue cosmetology and helping her get an internship at a friend’s salon.

Yes, please!!

Puppies aren’t separated from their moms until ~8 weeks. Less than that is thought of as harmful or abusive.

One of the most common lengths of US paid family leave is ~6 weeks.

So yes, when we “let the market decide”on parental leave, “the market” treats people worse than dogs.
