One number is missing. What strategy did you use to find it?

[Alyssa Roberts @alyssabryantcc]

@alicekeeler 31, because the sum of the digits isn’t a factor of 3.

@JuliePJones I miss seeing you too! I can’t believe this was 2 years ago (right before the world and student teaching shut down)

If you’re wondering how much personal space early educators get, today a preschooler noticed my pants zipper was down a smidge and tried to zip it for me. 😂

I would like to thank @sydsully for speaking to our 4th graders today at WSP! Our students enjoyed their virtual tour of the station and asking questions about weather! #4thgrade #sciencechat #elemchat

Solid point

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Let’s stop telling teachers to do yoga and meditate (unless that’s what they want and choose to do). Let’s start advocating for teachers and working towards systemic change so teachers are treated like professionals. Toxic positivity hasn’t changed how we’re been treated.

@DrP_Principal The amount of hours that educators work OUTSIDE of work!!!

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Teacher provides:
•appropriate assignments
•perfect rubrics
•accepts late work
•offers retakes
•all with feedback
•leaves parents several messages

Kid: 😜

Parent: Why is my kid failing?

Admin: Lets have a parent meeting. Also, provide the kid with all of the missing work

Kid: 🗣 I HATE YOU
Me: No, you hate that I have high expectations for you and how I’ve proven that I will always hold you accountable.
