Things teachers want to say to parents…
-Take the phone away at night. Your kid isn’t getting enough sleep.
-Don’t believe everything your kid says. They lie…A LOT!
-Teach your kid to have some grit.
•Model kind actions.
-Stop blaming everyone for your kid’s issues.
📝| @nytimes published an opinion piece on the recent unnecessary Taylor Swift online discourse
“It’s a tale as old as time: how it’s impossible for any woman — whether superstar or mere mortal — to get it right. It’s “Barbie” monologue (Taylor’s version):
You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be too powerful. You have to be a career woman but not ambitious.
You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining.
But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
Despite winning pretty much everything, it seems, Taylor Swift can’t win.”
We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?
The rampant disrespect, vulgar language, violence, disinterest, absenteeism, and low effort are not the fault of schools or teachers.
Teachers shouldn’t be expected to work miracles in order to simply be adequate at their job.
You want to fix schools, fix society.
Not only are "school choice" supporters disappointed, but supporters of public schools are angry. Teachers aren't getting a raise and schools across Texas are considering layoffs at a time when the state sits on more money than it's ever had https://t.co/W5JJr80yPp #TxLege#TxEd
In 2020, gunshots became the leading cause of death for Texas youths.
The number of youths — those younger than 18 — killed by guns in Texas went up from around 100 a decade ago to nearly 300 in 2022. https://t.co/cnEzQakNHy
It is vitally important for districts to provide teachers consistent collaboration time with their peers. And we’re not just talking about PLCs.
Teachers supporting teachers results in happier, stronger, empowered adults. Teachers can provide and seek support among their colleagues who have daily insight into the day-to-day stressors and demands of their profession.
