@RogersHistory Teaching is a tough career - one of the hardest. Teaching should be fun and joyous and rewarding, but it’s also stressful and draining. To imply that it’s not is disingenuous.
@LoudGovTeacher So small pushback. What unique, essential instruction is being delivered in class? Few of us would go to class if we could pass while staying at home.
@JayWamsted Research doesn’t say class size doesn’t matter - it says other factors have a larger impact. An ineffective teacher will have poor results regardless of class size.
@JustinAion @AwahJulie @DingleTeach …because those scores (or lack of) are prominently displayed on state report cards, the first place school shoppers look when comparing our 4 rural districts all within a 30 minute drive of each other.
@JoJoFromJerz This is fun. Watching the reactions from hand-wringing to outright disgust when the democratic party’s mouthpiece reports something even remotely unflattering about Biden.
@KyleJamesHoward So, honest question from the admittedly white guy. If you don’t want people to show up until 4:45 or 5:00, why say the party starts at 4:00?
@TheHashOfIt Oh I remember - it was horrific, but my response was bigger-picture. Alfie’s original post claimed that our society relies on underpaying workers. Who gets to decide what an appropriate wage is? The worker? The employer? The unskilled laborer? The professional athlete?
@k86404 But I believe life begins at conception, and abortion is always killing a baby. So your argument (in my mind) is the same as saying “Don’t believe in murder? That’s fine, then don’t do it, but don’t decide for me.”
@sandysnake57@alfiekohn There are many categories in life a person can be both a father and son, seller and purchaser, teacher and student, worker and taxpayer.
@teacherquit I completely agree. You should not be told to build relationships with ALL of your students. Not all kids are going to be successful and we shouldn’t try to force success on them. And besides, some of them are just plain unlikable - and in middle school, they smell bad!
