Politicians and news pundits convincing people that teachers (who buy their own supplies, work hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime, and work extra jobs because they are so underpaid) are somehow selfish and evil is something Iβll never understand.
@NicholasFerroni As a school administrator I can tell you this is 100% true. We do not need gun support, we need people to understand how important it is to listen to our requests. It's for the kids and their future, not because we are complaining.
We spend millions to implement research based practices. BUT, we ignore the extensive research that shows how play, recess, & physical activity, can improve focus, self regulation, and on task behavior, as well as academic achievement, interpersonal skills & mental health.
