Respect the child. Treat him as a person. The best thing a person can feel is to be accepted as he is, not as he will be when he grows up, but as he is now, right this very minute.

If the fucking SECRET SERVICE can't protect a candidate for president from a maniac with a rifle, how in the hell can we expect a TEACHER to protect a classroom of kids?

@kevinholechko We always knew!

@GlennonDoyle When I was teaching, a principal made me come to his office because I didn’t use enough exclamation points and he was offended. Told me I needed to add them in order to communicate effectively. I was a communications teacher.

@HSTeachProbs Taught 19 years and now I’m a realtor. My doctor told me I had to make a major lifestyle change for my health. So now I work half as much and make more. I miss it every day though!

Do you know the story behind O Holy Night?

If you know me at all, you know that I love Christmas music. My favorite song is O Holy Night.

I’ve loved it since I was a little kid, but I didn’t know the origins of it until a few years ago... and it blew me away.

I’m sick of living in unprecedented times.

On leaving #teaching:
Sometimes it means celebrating that you have time! Money! Health! Flexibility! Autonomy!

Sometime it means spontaneously crying to Wicked lyrics in your car.

🎵 “I don’t want that. No. I can’t want that anymore”🎵

@larissameg_ How exciting! Congratulations

Meanwhile, in Indiana…

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

Effective: July 1, 2022.

The Indiana General Assembly recently passed legislation, which removes the requirement to get a permit to carry a firearm and was opposed by many in law enforcement.

We cannot change minds.
We have to change leaders.

March to the polls. 🗳

@NicholasFerroni Left one year ago. It’s a complete disruption of my identity. And it’s not just letting down parents and students we have had; you think about all the kids you’ll never get to meet, too. It’s absolutely heartbreaking

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

When teachers say that leaving teaching is “the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do”— believe them, because it is.

Why? Because when a teacher quits or resigns— you may see it as someone leaving a job, but we see it as letting down our students and their families.

what does arming teachers look like for teachers who are not white when law enforcement comes after an active shooter?

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Wait, so gun control laws aren’t going to help prevent shootings but laws against abortion are supposed to stop abortions?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.
