@violinautie Translation:

We are understaffed and the staff we DO have is petty and clique-y. If you do anything spectacular though, we will slap our name on it and take all the credit.

You job is safe though because we really can’t get people who want to work here.

@violinautie @BrknPoet Wild that she can pick up a kid and then complain to the boss because here she’d be at fault for lifting a kid without it being an emergency 😬 (also your ear defenders would be no problem)

@HeatherL114 I started using some of the routines with my 6th graders and it works to build community with them as well.

[Heather @greenforscience]

@violinautie That makes sense. This is definitely a western setting.

Went to my child’s curriculum night and today I learned there are still teachers using public green-yellow-red cards or clip charts for behavior management and I thought everyone just… knew better now

@prntgdcolonized @Rightturn_only @AquafarE She has to request an evaluation for an IEP in writing. Verbal requests do not start the 60 day clock.

[Heather @greenforscience]

@prntgdcolonized @Rightturn_only @AquafarE Schools cannot say “we don’t provide ______ here because of staff/current set-up.” They have to provide what the child needs if an IEP is needed. Your friend need an advocate and probably a lawyer.

@MsStauss @MarcusLuther6 Carl Azuz is back?! My students are about to have a celebration, they love that guy.

@PastorTrey05 This is the car version of saying “ope” when you have to squeeze by someone.

@BooksandMelanin Fabric lasts a long time and if you measure the bulletin board the store can cut a piece that exact size. It’s not cheaper at the front end but easier and durable for years of use.

@ssteacherftw @alicekeeler Public school salary in Chicago is almost double that so I’m sure they get “sorry… no” a lot.

@heymrsbond Making a double batch of meals and freezing one helps too- it doesn’t usually take more time to make two at the same time of something.

@heymrsbond Paprika is an app that gets ingredients and instructions from online recipes, it creates a grocery list from recipes you chose, and you can categorize and rate recipes. It has a small initial fee but has been great for streamlining meal planning.

@heymrsbond @korytellers The slime families get gift bags with VERY easy to open vials of glitter. It’s personal.

Just found out the 4yo knows we live in “Eleanor.”

Illinois. It’s Illinois.

“I am no longer in possession of the avocado, and I will not be taking any follow up questions.”

Me, today, to my sixth graders.

[Heather @greenforscience]

@heymrsbond I would start with never having to say “don’t put your hands in someone else’s mouth, that’s an all the time rule” to my 6th graders.
