Don't do this shit. You don't know why that person is returning donations for gift cards. Did their child get sick, and they can't afford medicine? Will that gift card pay for 2 month's worth of food? They're in their own right to do whatever they want.
Don't police poor people.
Check out this exchange I had with then private citizen @realDonaldTrump on Oct. 15, 2008. We spoke about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he then offered his thoughts about impeachment.
A student bombs a test.
Teacher #1 responds: "What did you think was going to happen when you sleep in class and don't study?"
Teacher #2 responds: "You can do so much better! I believe in you!"
The way we interact with students matters. Our words matter.

The KY State Board of Elections, in the sole hands of the Governor (who is running for re-election!) has illegally and without voter’s knowledge marked 175,000 KY voters “inactive” ahead of this November election.
I'm in ♥️ w/this idea. In fact, I ♥️ it SO much that I'll pick one person (teacher, librarian, principal, coach, etc) from everyone who RTs this post, and I'll buy that person their own stamp. Same as the one pictured, but w/your name. Go! #booklove#bookaday#readthisnow

Please get the behavior / clip / stop light charts off of the wall! My behavior is not a decoration for your classroom. Humiliation & embarrassment are NOT valid classroom management / behavior strategies. #edchat#thatonekid#kidsdeserveit#tlap#culturize#leapeffect
5 ways to build culture:
1) Focus on finding solutions rather than complaining about problems.
2) Collaborate with others in the decision making.
3) Give colleagues the benefit of the doubt.
4) Celebrate little victories.
5) Always keep the focus on students.
Professional Development should not be about a workshop, class, or conference. It’s a mindset. It’s a relentless pursuit of being better tomorrow than you were today.
