Common Educator 🙃

Humor. Education. Part of the twitterverse that supports academia during some of the darker moments of the year.

My principal- I was hoping that you would demonstrate to your student teacher how valuable acting professionally at school can be.

Me sitting cross legged on my desk next to my student teacher- Big words coming from someone standing in lava.

@_TaylorBailey No & I don’t expect gifts from them. The contrast was just interesting.

I did spend countless hours outside of work going to their drama productions, band and choir concerts, sports games, chaperoning their school dances, and writing letters of rec for them. Is time a gift? 🤷🏽‍♀️

A kindergarten teacher I know received hundreds of dollars in gift cards, bracelets, books and flowers from her students’ parents at the end of year. This high school teacher got nothing. Not complaining but does teacher appreciation just fade out as kids get older?

@lovemath09 I wish I had a coteacher!!!!

My brain during third block today. When 25 level 1 kids finally decide to try and all call me over for help at the same time.

I am creating some awards for our school awards ceremony. I wanted to give a student an award for Best Math Debater. Then I read it aloud quickly, and realized that is probably not the best title for a middle school award! 🤦‍♀️ #MTBoS

@MillenialTeach A mom of a senior emailed me asking for her son to be exempt from the prom ticket purchase deadline because “how is he supposed to know his plans for prom four whole weeks before prom? He will be an exception to the deadline and buy when he is ready.”
Uh, no. He won’t.

From the kid who doesn’t do his work “to punish me” because I won’t let him Snapchat all block.

@VenusFighting @MillenialTeach @OutOfTeach At least if it does, you can just rinse it off!!

And obscene amounts of Axe body spray, any fragrance from Bath & Body Works, and good ol’ fashion adolescent body odor.

Spotted in a science teacher’s classroom. Science FTW. #education #grammar

@Justnicki73 Yes, but don’t SPILL IT!!

[Common Educator 🙃 @commoneducator]

The mug I purchased at Marshall’s six years ago is now the favorite of my students because “tea” is the new world for drama. I’m finally popular. Happy Friday, educators! 😂 #whyiteach #education

[Common Educator 🙃 @commoneducator]

Really proud of the memes I made as a warning to students who were focusing too much on Macbeth in their inquiry project drafts.

[Common Educator 🙃 @commoneducator]

@bveregan @maryclare_boyle @erinboyle02 It even came with a silicone top so I don’t SPILL THE TEA (which, is also code!).

@jeccabecca2 Challenge accepted.

You know you’re at a high school swim meet when. . .

[Common Educator 🙃 @commoneducator]

I get it kid...that’s exactly how I feel about correcting your work...

[Common Educator 🙃 @commoneducator]

Administration: what can this student do to get an A?

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

*Student is missing 10 assignments
*Student does not pay attention in class
*Student does not attend help sessions

Student in the last week of December: How can I get an 'A'?

Me:

This student must have sensed I had a rough semester. Happy Holidays to me. #education #teacherlife
