As a Soldier and a teacher I can say that no teacher should ever have the responsibility or requirement to carry a weapon to educate. I can give you many reasons why this would be a catastrophic failure.
Today #students learned of another staff member leaving mid-year. They walked in upset asking “are they leaving because they don’t like us?” I replied, “you are the only reason I want to come to work & I promise that YOU are not WHY” 💔🥺💔— #teachertwitter#teacherlife#teacher
A student walked into #class today and due to so many of her peers being absent with #covid19 said, “wow, it feels like last year when only half the class could attend”. #pandemicteaching#education
Today a student asked me if this was an old time thing. I turned around to see a pencil sharpener. I answered “I would not define it as an old time thing”(because I am not an old time thing).” The kid continues to use sharpener whispering “this is so satisfying” 😂 #teacherlife
The coldest air mass in nearly 3 years settles over the Norwalk on Tuesday.
Daytime highs will struggle to reach 20 degrees, with wind chills in the single digits 🥶. If you or someone you know needs shelter contact @211CT . @Norwalk_CT@NorwalkHealth
Today a student said, “Why it is okay for us to walk to school in subzero temperatures? I’m just not coming”
#WWYD - Would you walk a mile (in some cases longer) in subzero temperatures?
We need to get them in the door in order to #teach them.

Today at recess duty a 6th grader expressed her #anxiety over #COVID19 cases rising, #student and staff absences, and a lack of proper #mask wearing by her peers. This is NOT what a 12 year old should need to think about. #teacher
