Surveyed my new seniors. 72% of them cannot identify a single author they like. Two-thirds of them “never” read in their spare time. Never. I know there are many factors behind this, but I can’t help wonder what role schools have played in killing the ❤️ of reading.

The percentage of students earning 3+ in AP Human Geography is the lowest it’s been this decade; this year, many more students failed to demonstrate the content/skills required for college credit, making this the only subject in which more than a 1/3 of AP students score a 1.

I just saw where lawmakers are debating the minimum marriage age of 16 in Louisiana. Clearly, they’ve never taught in a high school before.... 🤷🏽‍♀️These are the same kids eating pods. #Jesustakethewheel #hsela

Survived my first year teaching high school. Could not have survived without this girl. We finished off the year looking through our Senior 2005 yearbook! #summerbreak #thebuckeyestandard

Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night til it be tomorrow. #hsela #thebuckeyestandard #summer

One of my English students sent me an email to say bye. She told me, “Your the best teacher I’ve ever had.” Obviously not. #hsela

When you are done with #aphug and #aplang... One of my students makes these homemade cinnamon rolls and they are just what we needed.

[Sami Dryden @DrydenSami]

@MsSLNorth Eh! I’m mean we are at the point where they know it or they don’t! We just needed a little down time and sunshine!!

Last minute prep for #aphug exam. #TheBuckeyeStandard #gifted

@AndrewSharosAP Thanks for the retweet! It’s funny that even my high schoolers love writing in chalk!

[Sami Dryden @DrydenSami]

Our school had students come up with name tags for their teachers. I’ve been called a lot of things in my career, goddess never being one. Until today. Happy Monday! #giftedteacher #hsela #aphug

@english_maven We are reading the balcony scene today in my class!!

Three radical thoughts changed my entire view of education.
1. I have no idea what occurred in that students home this morning.
2. They’re often in my presence by obligation, not choice.
3. No one cares about my content more than me.

@JasonSpeer7 It’s so awful.

[Sami Dryden @DrydenSami]

There’s always that one student keeping me on my toes.... #aphug #giftedstudents #hsela

[Sami Dryden @DrydenSami]

Well, if this isn’t the truest thing I’ve ever seen. #firsttweet #hsela 🤷🏽‍♀️
