But I refuse to use my classroom to inoculate my students against the world rather than building them up for it. You can create controversy in the classroom without breaking down your students. 3/4

@mlwerner1 What gives? #goodcustomerservicematters

@mlwerner1 Bad customer service can break a brand especially when there are brands such as Casper, Nectar, Purple, etc. This is my second and last purchase with Ghostbed and I will tell all friends and family not to purchase.

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@mlwerner1 I bought a ghost bed two weeks ago and it arrived damaged. I’ve sent photos and no managers are available to return my calls. #badcustomerservice #doesanybodycareatghostbed

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@theghostbed This is my second and last purchase ever! #casperrocks

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@theghostbed I bought a bed over two weeks ago and it arrived damaged! I sent photos and have yet to receive a phone call! #badcustomerservice

@locksanti @unprocast I think we just disagree. I don’t think kids skipping on a skip day is a big deal. I don’t think parents calling in for them is a big deal. I don’t think kids should lose privileges to opt out of a final for skipping either though. So…

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@locksanti @unprocast My district couldn’t legally sanction it. But part of the point is kids testing boundaries. They don’t want it sanctioned. They want a little independence. I think it’s developmentally appropriate. All I’m hearing is “the rules are the rules” which to me is 🤷‍♀️

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@locksanti @unprocast A bit pedantic. Kids call it skip” so there should be inherent consequence that parents shouldn’t shield them from? What if they called in “parent call in day”? Honestly, it feels kind of inappropriate for schools to be critical of how parents choose to manage this small thing.

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@locksanti @unprocast As a teacher, I would absolutely call in excused for my kid for this.

@FixingEducation I don’t buy this as some moral good. Our biases impact how we teach. My students always know my political affiliation. I tell them that I try to be aware of it, but they should approach all education with a critical and evaluative lens. They can’t do that without transparency.

@FeverPotomac @henryzcohen Twenty years in NYC. Never had a car. Rarely use an Uber. Lived in DC for years before that. Can’t imagine it without my car.

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@MarioNawfal Demoralizing conversation. No one is listening to anyone. Half the responses are literally just “no, you’re wrong”. No one is arguing solutions. Everyone is arguing about if we should even bother with solutions.

@ndhapple Cocker spaniel. This is Theo. We live in a studio apartment. He’s great at off leash at Prospect Park, likes fetch and tug of war and swimming is one of his favorite things to do. He’s gone in rivers, oceans, lakes and once uninvited into a hotel pool.

@ToriGlass Mine has just been about deciding to like myself more and this not be afraid to do things I’ve always wanted to do. Not much of a crisis.

@Chris_C_Barber @BelleAMama1 @tplhhi Even if it’s not coming from above. What do you do when you have 12 assignment, on a skill,the S has turned in only the first one or two. Never demonstrating competency in the fully developed skill? How do you grade an S that hasn’t demonstrated mastery due missing assignments

[Terra Vetter @dissidentedu]

@MrBoothY6 @charlweorf @Teacherglitter @_MissieBee @DeputyGrocott Or in a classroom that relies heavily on group work, as a way for them to become more self sufficient and not rely on the perceived abilities of more “high achieving” peers.
