Math 6 teacher... yes, on purpose

Two reasons why teaching is harder than surgery:

1️⃣ Surgeons can work without the patients' cooperation. The patient is likely sleeping!
2️⃣ Surgeons can do their job successfully without the relationship-building required for teaching.

I had a parent tell me the school “created the student dependence on phones.” That it’s “too late to put the genie back in the bottle.”

Girl, I did NOT purchase that phone, pay for the service and allow unrestricted access to it 24/7…

That was YOU.

Dear New Teacher,

You can love your job & be good at it & still be tired of it all by now. Ready for summer & a new group of students next year

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

[Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform” @MrDanielBuck]

If a student comes to you right now asking for all their missing work, the correct answer is “I don’t accept late work”

[MsEsco @MsEscoTeaches]

In case you’re wondering what it’s like to teach middle schoolers: a student’s backpack spilled and it looked like a mini-Sephora. Another student lost their tooth and in a different class I had to tell them to stop making fart noises. It’s WILD over here!! 😵‍💫😂

State testing days should be early dismissal days.

Here's your annual reminder that starting the NCAA Men's National Championship game at 9:20 pm ET on a Monday is certifiably insane.

Being a teacher isn't just one job. It's 100,000 little jobs.

Admin to Teacher Phrases We Are Sick of…

“Remember your why’

‘Do it for the kids’

‘Try building relationships’

‘’Remember to practice self-care’

‘The Hattie data says’

‘‘Don’t forget about differentiating’

‘We will have a new curriculum that will address all of our needs’

[Ms. Brown @BoundlessMsB]

Kids need consequences from people who love them, before they end up with consequences from people who don’t.

[That Teacher Grind @teachergrind]

Anyway. This is the type of shit that happens when your admin suck at being leaders and let staff do whatever the fuck they want at the expense of literal children.

[Rafranz ⁷ @rafranzdavis]

Realizing that you cannot speak reasoning to people who do not want to hear facts beyond their own bubble is growth. I’m getting there.

The perfect shirt for a middle school or high school teacher doesn’t exis—-

Things teachers want to say to parents…

-Take the phone away at night. Your kid isn’t getting enough sleep.

-Don’t believe everything your kid says. They lie…A LOT!

-Teach your kid to have some grit.

•Model kind actions.

-Stop blaming everyone for your kid’s issues.

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

Teachers not being paid $100K is a crime.

My annual thought…
The day after the Super Bowl should be a national day off.
OR
The Super Bowl should be played on a Saturday.

[Emily 🍎🌟 @EDUwithEmily]

I’M TIRED, Y’ALL

I honestly don’t even think just taking a sick/personal day is going to cut it.

I need like a whole week.
