At this point, only news editors have the power to end school shootings. Publish photos of the victims, however horrific. To do nothing is to abide 25 more years of murder.

@jillbarshay To say nothing, of course, about the truly corrosive effects (academic and social) of smart phones and social media.

[Cafeteria Duty @cafeteria_duty]

@jillbarshay And, lastly, the constant influx of new initiatives and ideas which dilute and confuse the central responsibility of teachers, which is to teach their subject area.

[Cafeteria Duty @cafeteria_duty]

@jillbarshay As well as the failure to train teachers/admin on equitable grading, and standards-based grading.

[Cafeteria Duty @cafeteria_duty]

@jillbarshay And also the failure to train teachers on what grade level work looks like.

[Cafeteria Duty @cafeteria_duty]

@jillbarshay That report should also take into account the unintended consequences of parent voice (pressuring teachers to change grades)

@espiers The most physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially demanding job I can think of.

Here, here! So tired of hearing about the policies of elite institutions which serve fewer than 5% of students. Who cares.

Good work @hechingerreport.

Let's avert attention from the elites - Julie Wollman (Penn GSE) and I opine that it's time to support (and learn from) the higher ed institutions that are already educating the majority of those seeking a college degree. @hechingerreport https://t.co/NZV4ctaYzf

@teachbk @paul_emerich Checking for understanding. Got it. Not always possible, or wise, but super useful and underused. It’s amazing how many teachers just stand back and watch The class like wardens.

@teachbk @paul_emerich Interesting! Can you say more?

@rickhess99 @EducationNext @educationgadfly Wish Chester Finn's actual name was "Checker Finn" and I know he does, too. And so do you.

@blythebernhard Can we count those hours toward our professional certification? If so, sign me up.

[Cafeteria Duty @cafeteria_duty]

@StuckIn48403550 I’ll drink to that.

And a walk down any hall in any school in this country reveals in two seconds just how much we’ve all moved on.

@ehanford Sure, but good old fashioned, unadulterated writing instruction might get us close! (And then some.)

@CTUSpecialEd Teaching writing the right way will save us!

"Teaching is exhausting to a degree few jobs are, & it is that fact alone which explains why on the 1 hand teacher happy hours resemble the first night of Rumspringa & on the other why even great teachers allow their standards to occasionally slip."
