Teachers how ya’ll feeling?! Ya’ll alright?!

I’m SO looking forward to Thanksgiving break 😩 for my scholars AND myself

[Jade Shields @MsShieldsWorld]

Today was a struggle ya’ll but we made it 🙌🏾

Hey teachers! 👋🏾 Friendly reminder that your Black, Brown and students of color don’t need you as a savior to save them. This is a harmful train of thought and is rooted in racism. Equity isn’t swooping in and trying to rescue students. Equity is interrupting systemic racism.

⁦@NCGOP⁩ you are CRAZY! I’m principal of the largest elementary school in Durham. How do you propose I keep my 900 students and 100 staff members safe without $$$ for supplies? Each year you ask more & more of public educators, but don’t support us as we get the job done.

-video and documentation of the harm being done to PEACEFUL protests by the police
-info about how we can help/donate to causes that are doing vital community work in association with the plight of black people in this country

I’m seeing various use of Blackout Tuesday and #theshowmustbepaused
There’s a lot of well meaning white folk (and black folk) posting however, the original purpose for this day is being lost

[Jade Shields @MsShieldsWorld]

What should NOT be paused is:
-the sharing of black stories bc our mere existence is part of the resistance
-white folk educations themselves and talking with other white folk about their privilege

However, I am SUPER thankful for technology! I literally have talked to my kiddos so much that I don’t miss them (as much) any more LOL

My life currently!

[Ron Clark @mrronclark_]

I never thought I would say this but online teaching requires much more prep work than classroom teaching. I’m worn slam out. Lol

[Jade Shields @MsShieldsWorld]

I survived my first Valentine’s Day as a middle school teacher! 🙌🏾😂

When your scholar insists on calculating 2 to the 28th power on his own! #nocalculatorshere #middleschoolmath #exponents
