I truly don't think enough can be said about the work teachers have done over the past several months. Some teaching online *and* in person. Making lesson plans for both. Some caring for their own children and relatives while they teach. They deserve both praise and better pay.

Today, my 5th graders had 100% attendance, great engagement, rich conversations about our holiday break, a lesson about jazz music + context clues, successful small groups, and an overall good time.

Remote learning CAN work if y’all would just LISTEN TO THE TEACHERS. Please.

An eye opening thread. Traditions questioned. A silver lining to 2020 is the opportunity to redefine in the midst of change.

Shout out to everyone having chicken instead of turkey this Thanksgiving. This is how it was meant to be.

@ChristieNold If that is the plan it is failing around here. The disconnect is disheartening.

@SteveBucher3 Wow that is kinda scary.

Great thread to feel the depth of our professsion's dedication-and our limits. Something has to give to avoid a mass exodus from our profession in the next five years. P.S. 60 hours per week for three years...

One thing that we and our 1,250+ supporters are particularly upset about is the planned 50% cut to synchronous teacher-led instruction for elementary school students. This will slow the pace of new material being learned while putting the burden on parents 3 full days each week.

[Ms. P @Pearson22728]

Fellow teachers if you feel alone in your struggle-a thread for you.

[swm @sheathescholar]

maybe my job today is just to tweet the things that teachers want to say but can't because they don't want to get fired. DM me your best "I want to say this but can't" tweets.

Young people NEED routine! The schedule change from the Nov. 9 decision upsets our already set routines. For HS, classes will start 1 1/2 hours earlier and on different days than Ss are used to. Why cause this upheaval when there are only 11 instruction days left in the term?
