@FixingEducation How about missing 95% and allowing them to graduate high school!😂

@LehighMGolf Matty Q! 🙌🏻

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Instead of bringing in guest speakers to talk about teaching and inspire us with anecdotes, why not have them actually teach?

Put them in a real classroom and let’s watch the magic happen.

Let us see how they plan, how they adjust in the moment, how they respond to student questions, manage behavior, and assess understanding.

Now that’s the kind of professional development that would actually inspire me.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:

"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

@coach_bisson Good luck!

Restorative justice means no consequences for bullies, violent students, manipulators, and those who constantly CONSTANTLY disrupt class

It is unfair and even downright unsafe for EVERY OTHER STUDENT IN THE SCHOOL

Restorative justice is unjust, cruel, and destroys schools

I know parents like this!😂

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Parents poisoning team culture through their kids.

Your whispers in the car become their words in the locker room.

Choose wisely.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

During my first year of teaching, there was a veteran teacher near my classroom with nearly thirty years of experience. She was methodical, well prepared, deeply professional, and ran a calm, well-managed classroom.

One day, I watched our assistant principal—someone who hadn’t taught in a classroom for over a decade—reprimand her for the way she managed her students.

I was stunned.

Sadly, this wasn’t an isolated moment. It reflects a pattern that shows up far too often in education: veteran teachers being treated like children by people who haven’t run a classroom in years.

Big shout out to the parents whose kids don’t get much playing time or spend most of the game on the bench. You still come to every game, cheer for the team, and support every player, even when your own child might not get any minutes. You’re teaching your kids what it means to show up, be part of a team, and put 'we' before 'me.' It takes real dedication and selflessness to be there all the time, and your example is helping your kids become strong and caring people. Thanks for showing what true team spirit looks like! Especially the parents from RMHS!

Worth the watch!

Ralph Cox was Final Cut of 1980s USA Olympic hockey team. That moment ended up being special despite the great disappointment.

You can feel the emotions as Ralph tells the story and how he’s understood the moment and his career looking back:

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Bill Parcells shares the difference between winners and losers.

"Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and the players in other little groups."

"But winners assemble as a team."

Winners don't point fingers and they don't make excuses.

They dedicate themselves to personal excellence and team excellence.

They commit to the team, bringing a positive attitude, and doing the work.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Schools spend hours trying to “reach” the kid who openly doesn’t care, while the kid who tries every day quietly gets ignored. We’re exhausting ourselves chasing resistance instead of investing in effort.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

The cruel truth: a school that replaces discipline with restorative language merely redistributes suffering, from the chronically disruptive student to every quiet kid who has to live in the fallout.

[Clint Jarvis @clinjar]

Some people never post photos online.

No selfies. No updates. No “look at me” moments.

In a world built for attention, their silence stands out.

Here’s what psychology says it really means:
