I think we underestimate how many people are hanging on by a single, fraying thread, and how, some days, the only things saving them from the abyss are the small comforts of a TV show that feels like home, a book that tells you you’re not alone, or a pet that needs you.

Every teacher I know personally is leaving the profession because students have become unteachable. They don’t read, they don’t talk to each other, they have no curiosity, no passion, no interest in learning. Giving kids unfettered access to screens has ruined a generation.

@armondboudreaux Praying Armond!

My focus for the next two years. Whatever this merge brings, I don’t foresee any appreciation of those with kids. I will not sacrifice my time with my child. I only have two more years of his high school experience.

He’s at his happy place - Winter STEM at USNA! And we made it out before the Fern hits. Suffice to say, we were scrambling to get to the airport!

@armondboudreaux 🤣 Yes indeed.

If you think teachers have it easy, you’re in luck. America is currently short more than 320,000 teachers. Give it a try! 😏

Or give subbing a try…to get a taste.

“I don’t get why teachers are leaving. They knew what they were signing up for.”

NO, THEY DIDN’T!

And before you say you’re okay with tons of effective & qualified teachers leaving, understand this…America is currently short more than 320,000 teachers and is facing a national crisis.

The “just teach” crowd has no idea…

66 years of sweet, coconutty bliss 🍰✨

Our iconic Coconut Cake debuted on April 9, 1959—and it’s still a guest favorite at every Halekulani restaurant. One word to describe it? HEAVEN.

The kinds of errors I’m encountering in intro to college writing are not the kinds of errors you’d make if you were regularly exposed to printed books

Everything I've learned about education in the last 40 years summarized in one post.

If you expose unmotivated students to motivated students, the better students will get pulled down more than the less motivated students will be pulled up

Veteran teachers are tired. TIRED! Stop fussing at us for your performance problems and start listening to our experience. Until then, to the bottom we remain.

So proud of these athletes!!! I may be tired daily from coaching them, but it brings me joy to see these smiles!
