@elonmusk what do you suggest when a person followed every single rule, paid all fees, turned in all paperwork, received work visa, has a nice paying job after attending all college work in US only to find out today that they have denied his application for residency?

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They have NO standardized tests until PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. They have multiple recesses daily, & options like crafts, home Ec, PE, Arts. etc. And teachers have more control over teaching than politicians!

Our building has the best morale!!! Couldn’t do it without our building family. We 100% are family and would support each other through anything and that includes our administrator. #blessed . @WECCEA13 @13easd

@TMSCrusaders Congratulations coach Beck.

Teachers don't leave because it's hard. Teachers are some of the hardest working professionals I know. They leave because the expectations and demands become more unrealistic every year.

The High School sent athletes to read to our classes today. Our students really enjoyed having them. Thank you EAWRHS for visiting. @WECCEA13 @13easd

100%%. Love our principal ❤️

School Districts, let your principals know they are seen and appreciated. Effective principals are vital to the success of their schools.

How a principal interacts in the cafeteria, bus line, hallway, etc. Is just as important as how they interact in a meeting or their office. Culture is created by all interactions.

We are so lucky to have a fabulous school psych (Amy Burman)! She has social emotional lessons created for every day. It is so important that our students learn how to regulate their emotions. @13easd @WECCEA13

The little things that make you love where you work. Morning talks to make you realize maybe your home life is normal ish, a building that shows up everyday ready to teach, having the best Principal, and gestures of appreciation like todays doughnut truck. @13easd @WECCEA13

First college visits. Ryan still had to work so it was just a girls trip to Arkansas. So far University of Central Arkansas is her favorite.

[Brandi McGowen @brmcgwn]

I absolutely love watching my babies succeed. With Ryan being at the Middle School they now start with me and end our district with him. ❤️❤️. Best of luck to this beauty in High School. @WECCEA13 @13easd

[Brandi McGowen @brmcgwn]

We did not let a little rain stop our messy day. In fact it just added to the “mess” 🤣. What a fun way to help bring this year to a close. @WECCEA13 @13easd

[Brandi McGowen @brmcgwn]

@DrBradJohnson Amen

The key is not just to care about students, but to care enough to help them be their very best. Which is actually Love!
