@ClassicMike6 @ModestTeacher We teach Literacy 165 mins/day. Math 75 mins/day. That time is sacrosanct. We can do nothing else, ever. No art projects, research, or speakers. There’s no fluff. We could get by with shorter days or a 1/2 day/weekly.

@DrDinPVAZ @ModestTeacher Yes we do! 💯!

@MrMetacognition Attaining silence is a difficult task when it’s not required by parents.

@sage_stage It’s our protocol too, to send the kid back to class. Apparently lice don’t jump so unless the kids is head to head with another kid, others can’t get it. That’s what I was told. 🤮

@JamesAFurey Our Asst Principal told my teammate and I we are NO longer allowed to do novel studies! We’re in 5th grade. She said they’re proven to not help children grow in reading.

@JamesAFurey We decide as a staff what curriculum to adopt so terminology is vertically aligned. How we use it is up to us. With new programs, we spend many a PL, aligning standards with lessons, so we can eliminate some lessons and subsidize if a certain standard isn’t covered.

@drphiliplee1 I’m a teacher and I always want to see the local schools. Was in Cabo San Lucas before it was a tourist destination. We walked the neighborhoods, and stumbled across the open-air school. Fascinating! And yes, I’LL check out the local everything.

@educator4ever36 5th grade here-we teach 120 mins/day of literacy, as well as an additional 45 mins of targeted reading instruction. And 75 mins of math/daily. These times are sacrosanct and we are not “allowed” to do anything but what that time is intended for. No crafts, speakers, etc.

@Jessicam6946 Yes, I was teaching 5th and 6th graders, we were watching. 😢
