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.
Words I will be happy NOT to hear over the summer….

3. Bussin
4. Facts

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
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!! 😵💫😂
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’
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.
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.
