Math teacher extraordinaire at Kannapolis CitySchools . I love seeing the the light in someone's head come on when they finally understand a tough topic.

I just completed the @Quizizz Game Changer Certification! I had no idea that I could give students different questions using Quizizz! 🎉 💜 https://t.co/qUYF6KPkzs #edtech #youcanwithquizizz @kyleniemis

Can some more people who do not have a political agenda comment other things that would make American schools "better"?

...or, and hear me out: we could try not tying local property taxes to school budgets so that low income areas (who need more resources) get the least resources.

American education might be better if schools of education and teacher prep programs actually focused on the practicalities of the classroom and not radical politics or the latest progressive fad

We could make childcare affordable so schools are able to focus on education, not babysitting. A shorter, more focused school day would be a Godsend for so many students who struggle to focus for 7 hours while constantly learning new material.

@snarkyeducator9 Trying to figure out how to grade with kids in the classroom. Lately it has taken a lot more effort to manage the class.

Last week, several of my students came before or after school to get help and individual attention. One student came before and after school several days. When I choose to work outside contract hrs, this is what I choose.

@janelanderson2 @staralixstar42 You love it and hate it, all at the same time. 1. Awww, look at my babies taking school seriously! 2. But I wanted to do something fun with them!

@JayWamsted I could light myself on fire, and they’d just go to YouTube to watch a video of two ppl on fire.

[Nicole Smith (she/her) @SmittyLovesMath]

I call this setting boundaries. Of course there can be some exceptions but we need to be realistic about how hard it is to focus on learning with a phone in hand.
