Robb Elementary has 576 students—and 84% are economically disadvantaged.
Now 19 were murdered, 17 have bullet wounds, & 538 are emotionally scarred the rest of their lives. The school has 1 Counselor. ONE. Yet, Uvalde Police is 40% of the town budget.
This Is A Failed System.
The craziest thing about teaching high school is having to do such an extreme range of tasks in a day. Today:
- I had a conversation about contemporary art w/ a student
- I wrote a recommendation letter
- I edited a resume
- I broke up a fight over a game of Uno.
Teachers,
RT this if it is impossible for you get your grading, planning, parent/guardian outreach and all other additional requirements (on top teaching) completed during your contractual hours.
Just curious.
What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? A thread…
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!
Big shoutout to @bmcvety for this incredible gem in @flashficmag. It’s a fantastic little story that packs a huge punch. Gorgeous language, too: “My knuckles ached from banging on the glass. How opaque life seemed as I watched you laugh.”https://t.co/IZZgMmS29l… Check it out!
Must read in Sports today. While we often highlight best of the best. The story about North Andover’s Brody McGratty going from no-name to legit player with a little help from his stepdad is inspirational for all. https://t.co/vhgMMTXMAt
