WhyTeachersLeave

Missing all of the great teachers who got fed up or ran out of money.

@sassy_TOC Oh my. Thinking of you and your family.

An America First Caucus is recruiting lawmakers calling for "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and a return to architectural style that “befits the progeny of European architecture.”

@MarquisGovan1 It's the same with media. In an effort to be 'unbiased' they present both sides and what is lost is the overwhelming evidence/ sentiment for one position.

@teach_snark Teaching isn't a job, it's a vocation

And you're a saint.

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@teachercurses Right there you have one of the untold sad realities of being a teacher.

I feel for you

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@teach_snark At least they're preparing.

Last year on Thursday we asked about starting to prepare for distance learning. The previous administration told us don't waste our time.

On Sunday night at 10:00 p.m. we got an email to prepare 3 weeks of packet work by 1st period Tuesday morning

@lukeshand2 It's an artisanal pop tart.

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@Rogue1SciTchr @lukeshand2 Old school for the win!

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@Mrs_Puns That's because you're a good person.

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@Mrs_Puns At least they did that. Was it done by volunteer or draft?

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@Mrs_Puns That seems like poor planning.

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@teacherdown @Rogue1SciTchr Remember you aren't perfect. You can't fix the world all the time. Even God rested.

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@teacherdown The worst feeling is when you start saying "f*ck it" and being the asshole you hated.

The hell of it that is it's necessary for survival sometimes.

@sage_stage My first day back in person I texted home "damn I missed this"

[Revolving_Door_Admin @RAD_is_awesome]

Isn't it strange that many of the school's current problems didn't exist until I showed up? It's almost like my randomly implemented paid-for policies that promise to deliver solutions are actually creating more problems for the teachers to deal with.

@cavaioliOVHS My metric of success is if the students are excited and curious, they succeed at the next level at an appropriately challenging placement, and they're good people.

In small schools, I can do that. (Usually)

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@cavaioliOVHS We plant seeds.

One of the best things about a small school is being able to keep track of previous students to gauge their success (or needs)

@teacher_sass Hardest thing to do is get used to seeing the puck. Besides, that - lots of action, talent and emotion.

[WhyTeachersLeave @TeachersWhy]

@ModestTeacher With different philosophies, families can chose the one one that best serves their child (and same for teachers)

Districts tend to have a one size fits all for everyone. (and then that changes when the superintendent changes)
