@sage_stage I resigned last week..10 years in. The kids were great, but everything else about what used to be my canning became a stressful,anxiety filled job. I felt nothing but relief. Started my own business and will look into remote jobs.
@DrBradJohnson Why SEL is such an important aspect to teacing in the classroom now. We, as teachers, cannot teach the curriculum without first knowing our students and having our students know we care. This is how engagement and motivation start!
@SaycheeseDGTL When we say the Pledge of Allegiance in public school, the last part says "and justice for all." This is inherently untrue and our students of color know this. The PTB continue to exhibit the double standard we live in this society.
@sage_stage@Bloggo2point0 Someone about to retire is not going to change careers, not with teacher retirement payments in the future. For anyone else though, if you would be just as happy doing something else for the same pay, then you should do that. Kids need teachers who want to be there.
@GFull225 While the atrocious behavior of "stars" absolutely does need attention, this is proof of how the media controls information and sows distrust and discord among Americans and humanity in general.
Now the poem that Amanda Gorman read at President Biden’s inauguration, entitled “The Hill We Climb,” has been banned from curriculum through 5th grade in Miami-Dade County, for not being suitable for elementary students.
For those who listened to the poem, you would know the the poem was a lecture on peace, love, unity, and freedom.
This is why laws banning critical race theory from schools are a problem. People begin categorizing anything that talks about race as falling into the realm of CRT. Or they use the law to justify removing books and curriculum that can teach real history.
This isn’t free speech. This is using the law to chill the free speech of others, in my opinion.
I’m being told by students on the ground that the Tennessee Legislator is expelling members who stood with gun control advocates today. They’re planning on holding a vote tonight to potentially PERMANENTLY EXPEL these members from voting.
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
