Many teachers have decided that given the current conditions within schools they can't continue, but rather than blaming these educators for teacher shortages in some schools, we should be thinking about what it looks like to make teaching a more well-resourced, sustainable job.
I really need folks to understand that the work teachers have done over the past 2 1/2 yrs is nothing short of extraordinary. I've seen teachers whose own lives have been upended by grief, illness, & instability continue to show up for their students in countless, remarkable ways
To all the teachers, in case no one has told you yet, thank you. Thank you to teachers and educators everywhere.
Thank you for showing up, for gracefully helping our kids through each day, and for all the work we don’t see.
You are true heroes. Thank you for everything you do.
I feel like if a guy host called a bunch of hot actresses on the stage and talked about what they wanna do to them... it wouldn't go well #Oscars#Oscar
Every time Taylor Hawkins would cover Queen’s “Somebody to Love” and Dave Grohl took over on drums while Taylor sang his heart out, absolute chills. RIP Taylor.
Teachers should not have to do PD on their own time or at their own expense.
It is part of their job to keep getting better.
They should be paid for it and they should be given time for it.
Poverty is a policy choice. It is the result of a history of policy decisions made over the course of centuries that have extracted resources from some communities and placed them in others. We know how upward mobility has been facilitated for some, and has been kept from others.
Many people continue to understand poverty as a failure of individual people rather than a failure of a society to care for those with the least resources. People are not poor because they deserve to be. No one deserves poverty. Those experiencing it deserve empathy, not vitriol.
