@DanK_2022 @FixingEducation Where does the student responsibility lie in this blame?

[Mrs. Knust @Mrs_Knust]

@JamesAFurey Yes. Yes it is rare.

@FixingEducation I feel like I need a nap EVERY day after school!

But "we're so lucky to have summers off!" 🙄

Having a terrible school administrator can literally ruin your life — mentally, emotionally, financially, socially. The gaslighting, manipulation, ineptitude, deception. Smh. I am so sorry for any who have been forced to suffer through this.

I have never been more disappointed than I was today when I realized how truly screwed up our society is right now.

Don't be a 'gotcha' leader, but be an 'I gotcha back' leader.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. How? Teachers are respected as professionals, given adequate time for planning during the school day, and more autonomy in school decisions. Maybe that's why we lose nearly 50% of teachers every 5 years!

@FixingEducation @NewtonZeek Nor do mine!

@a_crum @FixingEducation What does this mean?

Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We prepare test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.

Schools are now structured so that the overwhelming number of student misbehaviors essentially have ZERO consequences.

This is horrible for teachers…but it’s even worse for the students who want to learn!

[Mrs. Knust @Mrs_Knust]

Nothing prepares a teacher for the loss of a student. You walk into class to see an empty chair where there should not be an empty chair. 💔

@newheightshow Do you get a fine for throwing/kicking the ball into the stands?

Teachers don't leave because it's hard. Teachers are some of the hardest working professionals I know. They leave because the expectations and demands become more unrealistic every year.
