I’d like to thank the Governor and School Board for filling me with even more anxiety. I honestly wasn’t sure if I could be more anxious teaching this year but congratulations, you’ve done it. Way to go!

[Amanda Augustine @Mrs_Auggy]

@Mrs_Cosi ☺️🥰❤️ And I am so grateful for YOU!!! For a thousand reasons, including our shared sense of sarcasm and cynicism 😆

The holidays shouldn’t be a time to recharge. They should be a time to celebrate.

If work is exhausting people to the point that they’re using their time off to recover, you might have a burnout culture.

A healthy organization doesn’t leave people drained in the first place.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.

They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.

It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Please explain to me why/how we are having *in person* SOL testing when we are 100% virtual? The positivity rate will easily be at or over 20% (and rising) during this testing time. But sure, let’s bring hundreds of Ss and staff into the building.

@MrsN_VB This introvert can relate! Nighttime alone time after kids are asleep is my fave recharge time tho.

[Amanda Augustine @Mrs_Auggy]

This was good one! Dressing up for homecoming spirit days is one of many things I really miss this year

Similar widespread fraud at my house too 🤣🤣🤣

Just tried on an old pair of pants, and I refuse to accept the results. Widespread fraud.
