@NicholasFerroni It was them not understanding "You're killin' me, Smalls!" for me... but also any Animaniacs related reference. Or OG Star Wars. Or OG Sesame Street. #oldAF #eldermillenial #millenialproblems

@sandram94160756 @Bucs_Books @BWBodyworks @NicholasFerroni Maybe true. *IF* that library has a sizable, consistent book budget (many don't) AND a trained/certified librarian who oversees and manages it. WI schools are lucky - we have the CSF for our school library funding and a law that a licensed library media specialist manages it.

@camlou2012 @WeinsteinEdu I'm a former school librarian and I push the benefits of the trades HARD to students. As someone with a trade alongside my fancy degree, I can't sing enough praises for skilled trade jobs!

@NicholasFerroni I make and sell handmade and custom children's clothing and accessories (that follow CPSC safety regulations). I sometimes also sew for adults.

@siren_abby @NicholasFerroni Teachers typically get paid for just a 180-190ish day contract (9-10 months). Many choose to withold $/split their paychecks over 12 months. My district offered my salary paid out in 19 checks or in 24 checks.

@NicholasFerroni New-ish sidehustle is a small business. I left in-person instruction for a virtual school and have a handmade childrens' clothing business on the side.

@Rue_Principal @flyingmonkey13 But I'm a 30-ish year old teacher (not admin) and have 12 years of classroom experience (13 if we count my 2 rounds of student teaching). I would think an admin with more than 10 years classroom experience probably understands the classroom...

Now I’m curious:
Teachers, RT this if you have been called “mom” by students🤔❤️

@NicholasFerroni @VanCarlito2003 @DeeSTEM_Teach Team no grits (also Team no gravy and Team no seafood, so I'm a southerner's worst nightmare).

@The_Drama_Coach @pernilleripp I dual certified Theatre & Library Media. Guess who has a Masters of Library and Information Studies (I mean, I like it)... but misses everything about theatre.

[Steph YouNerdL @MsYouNerdL]

@kelseybogan Discovery lists in the catalog - I heavily point them out at the beginning of the year and students know to go there because it's also unit book lists are for curriculum picks.

@CoachGray916 @Larryferlazzo I taught 5th grade art under the "supervision" of the actual art teacher last year. My undergrad is theatre arts edu and my Masters is Library and Information Science. Yeah.

And with that, Miss P and I have finished the first installment of Harry Potter with the promise to watch the movie tomorrow... and a promise to order book 2 in illustrated format.
