I’ve been so mad at Michael Che since his “joke” last week about women’s basketball viewership. I feel a little vindicated, however, now that @CaitlinClark22 totally owned him on #SNL#WeekendUpdate. #SHero
@ClaudiaSwisher 2/2 BTW, Oklahoma considers me “probationary” again. I evaluated teachers for four years but upon returning to the classroom in 2021 - even having never left the profession and having been in the same district for 13 consecutive years - the state department made me start over.
@ClaudiaSwisher I’ve taught in OK 29 yrs, always had excellent evals; yet, never been my building TOY. That alone disqualifies me from this incentive. That’s the opposite of empowering. It’s demeaning & demoralizing to those who remain committed and steadfast, yet fly under the radar.
@ClaudiaSwisher 1/2 I received my NBTC in 2010, and willingly gave it up in 2017 to take an assistant principal job. But, yes, I do think that’s a much better incentive program. It’s fair and equitable and based on a body of work, rather than a vote.
@kayleeolivastv@oksde@kfor Even if the money is there, it’s another way to demean teachers. Only those who have been a building level teacher of the year qualify. Some teachers (me, for one) are excellent educators, mentors, and teammates, yet have never been a TOY. Talk about demoralizing.
Why, when I stream live radio on @iHeartRadio, do I not always get live radio? Why do I hear the same songs over and over-even one I thumbs-downed because it makes me sad-before it finally sends me to the live broadcast? #iheartradio
