I’m an Educator. I teach scholars and facilitate learning. US Government & APUSH baby! #HBCUEducated

Year 16 felt like it flew by the end of it. I adjusted to the moving goal post. Made my way through a hard fought basketball season. Got my struggling students over the hump with the help of my principal. Adjustments will be made. Year 17 loading…💪🏾👨🏽‍🏫

There is a belief that teachers should handle student disrespect with angelic patience. 

Wrong.

Respect is a two-way street, and teachers deserve dignity, not endless tolerance for bad behavior.

RIP Latasha Harlins
RIP Cyrus Carmack-Belton

Just shows that even decades later they don't give a fuck about us and racism is alive and well

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

That shop owner shot a Black teenager in the back. Only a racist jury would consider that an act of self-defense.

Cyrus Carmack-Belton should still be here

George Stinney Jr.
Jesse Washington
Latasha Harlins
Mike Brown
Trayvon Martin
Kalief Browder
Cyrus Carmack-Belton

And a multitude of others. The legacy of US History.

One of my students made this flag with one of my “famous” quotes on it…🥹

[Leon Pitts II M.Ed @PittsTheTeacher]

Memorial Day was started by black Union troops. The holiday began after the American Civil War. Communities across the country started holding springtime tributes to fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers, flags, and wreaths. The day was originally Decoration Day

The Class of 2026 continues to make us proud ❤️🎓88% of our seniors graduated with their associate degree this year! #HCCgrad #HoustonCityCollege #HISD #EarlyCollegeHS #NHECHS

[Don Salmon @dijoni]

It was African-Americans who invented Memorial Day never forget that.

Omygoooooooodnesss!!!!! WHY have i never seen this before?!? What an awesome idea!!!

Can you imagine as a prerequisite all seniors choose a kindergartners to mentor and teach....... teaching the seniors patience and pride, and the kindergartners have someone to look up to ( not in their family)

And when the seniors graduate, the kindergartners will graduate with them (into first grade)

That would be an AWESOME program!

Update- State Takeover of Public School:
"Houston ISD may apply for another waiver allowing Superintendent Mike Miles to remain uncertified", if @GregAbbott_TX and Mike Morath continue to give their blessing and grant yet another Texas Education Agency waiver.

Teachers are so much more than just teachers.

I was honored to partner with the @philsimmsqb North-South All-Star Game and @TeachersInsPlan on an incredible campaign where players surprised their favorite teachers with tickets to the game.

Houston-area private and charter schools are limiting screens and returning to paper to support learning and social skills, as research indicates time on digital devices can affect some learning. https://t.co/0pK54RHewt

Good luck APUSHers!!! 💪🏾

[Leon Pitts II M.Ed @PittsTheTeacher]

I guess my students want some sympathy from @CollegeBoard @HISD_NHECHS 😂

Teacher Appreciation.

[Travis Akers 🇺🇸 @travisakers]

Teachers… not all of your students will tell you this, but for some of them, your classroom is their safe space.

[North Houston Early College HS @HISD_NHECHS]
