Teacher 6-12 ELA & SS. Standing up for students and a better educational system

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

Think about your favorite teacher. Are they your favorite because of their lesson plan or their curriculum? Most likely it's the way that teacher made you feel. Build relationships. #GYTOxOrlando

Teaching is relaying information, educating is empowering #GYTOxOrlando

Exactly! There is no comparison as they are two very different situations

No, but nurses have PPE, limited patient contact, and infectious disease training. I have a couple English degrees, 120 kids, a mask, and a box of Clorox wipes. Please don’t compare us.

If we open schools, students, parents, and teachers will get sick, and some of them will die. There’s nothing else to discuss.

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

in order to score well on the state standardized tests. The same tests that are put in place by the states and nation to decide whether or not schools get funding and teachers are effective? That one arbitrary snapshot of student education? (2/2)

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

Our district announced one of the reasons for opening schools was that students are behind in learning. Behind what? Where they should be? Oh, you mean behind where the standards, that the education professionals created, said students should be (1/2)

My #JAU2020 shoutout goes to @ybjennyhowe for supporting me in my new adventures, always!

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

Instead of getting mad at your child’s teacher for wanting to stay alive, get mad at the government for refusing to provide monthly stimulus checks, more unemployment money, rent freezes, and childcare subsidies. The government has failed to act, not teachers.

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

I don't even know how to feel right now. District just announced that we will be going back. The district right across the river has pushed back their start date. So I guess we get to be the test subjects 😰 #SchoolReopening

Thank you to @CraigNewmark for your donation to my classroom! #RespectForTeachers #DonorsChoose

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

Allow your students to rise to high expectations. Don't set low expectations that they can easily achieve. Challenge them, within their reasonable abilities, but make them work for it! #JRVC

The same with education, reckless politicians refusing to give credit to educators for the amazing flexibility and adaptability we showed transition from physical classroom to virtual classroom, and yet our funding is being threatened?

President @realDonaldTrump: "In recent weeks, our country's police officers have been really under siege... Reckless politicians have defamed our law enforcement heroes as the enemy."

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

Each year we start a new year that is different from last year. This year it is going to be just extremely different, but good teachers adapt. Love that nugget of wisdom from #tyhocon

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

The fact that #tyhocon has an asl interpreter is so wonderful! next level @teachyrheartout I'm so impressed!

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

Parents were asked their opinion on #schoolsreopening but teachers were not consulted at all by the district and then plans were made without teacher input

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Perspective: The school reopening debate reveals that we don’t listen to teachers about schools https://t.co/xfnjQkkAO6

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

Please stop using the health and safety of teachers, students, and schools as a political move to progress your own agenda #TEACHers #SafetyFirst #schoolsreopening

1/18 Society: In the richest country in the world, between 11 and 13 million children live in food insecure homes.

Schools: We can help..... Kids can eat breakfast and lunch at school, and in many places, teachers will spend their own money on snacks.

[Bree Jones @breemarie37]

17/18 Schools and teachers are not the ones that can fix our broken America. At the same time, we cannot be the lambs sent to slaughter because no one else cared enough to actually fix the racism, discrimination, and inequality
