A big thank you to @westwood’s Chad Bowie for this amazing rubber duck from their Europe trip! 🥰

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@sage_stage Sock ‘em. This always runs a alongside Secret Santa at our school. Much more subversive. Fun trying to figure out who got you!

@SharaVigeant @cspotweet I understand but as a 2016 YMM resident I relentlessly water socials for news. Official news was very slow. That’s just my experience tho.

@GCarabine @demetriosnAB @Alberta_UCP It is likely to check that teachers are doing their jobs 🙄 because over testing is not to check on the kids.

Amazing the Calgary #watercrisis is causing so much angst among Albertans but imagine if you lived on an Indigenous Reserve who have never had clean, useable water? Why aren't we talking more about that #entitlement

@jonmedeiros @sage_stage They don’t need permission for the washroom. They need acknowledgement to leave the room.

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@jonmedeiros @sage_stage And what do I do in an emergency when they have left without asking? What happens when half my class is just gone? A 16 year old can wait 3 minutes while others go ahead of them. So many ways you show you are not a teacher IRL.

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@jonmedeiros @sage_stage That’s a slippery slope giving students a lot of power to say “no” to whatever they dislike. High school students are a lot different than elementary and they can wait 3 min while two others ahead of them go. Unless there is a medical reason and that would be in their IEP.

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@jordanwarder0 @Mike_B1984 And only get paid for the time they work. The rest they are unemployed for but ineligible for EI.

@sage_stage Had the superintendent supervising Band. Concert is tomorrow. Kids are losing their minds. I’ve been out sick for 1.5 weeks. Why!!

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@sage_stage Asked a student today 5 times to turn round and face front while I gave instruction. They did not. When I told them the VP wanted to see them in the office was asked why. They didn’t see it as disrespectful and in fact thought I was just making a suggestion. 2weeks2 day drinking!

[Westwood High School @WWhighschool]

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@TchrConfessions In my district that would get you promoted to District Office 🤣

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@sage_stage I would settle for a photocopier that actually works

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

@sage_stage My take? You have windows??? Lol

[Joanna Torguson @MrsTorguson]

Visited my elderly mom at Srs Home. Homeless guy sleeping in vestibule pants down. Could not wake up. Police no help. 211 sent someone. He didn’t want help rolled over. So still sleeping blocking the buttons that open the doors for those seniors. #helpless #frustrated #shitty
