@thatracinglucas @zachlanebryan His sister you punk

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@jcamachonwhs That’s honestly really great advice, I think I’m focusing on the next thing a little too much. I was worried about taking time off and losing the desire to go further, and hearing this from both you and Dave makes me realize that I’ll be fine!

A5 I’m interested in the educational technology program. #ap3040

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@drzimmerle @awall Did you do it while you were teaching? I don’t want to try to focus on too many things at once and end up not giving my students my all, or falling behind in my courses

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@jcamachonwhs I just can’t decide if I should hold off for a little and do things I want outside of college, like focus on my family and my first year of teaching before jumping into getting my masters. Maybe focus on one thing at a time haha

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

A5 But I also want to go on to be a Dr., but that is far down the road. #ap3040

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@jcamachonwhs @DaveDepatie I’m very worried about testing and it’s role in education, as it seems to only be growing. It seems like a lot of pressure on teachers and students. With the current state of the department of ed, I don’t see it getting better anytime soon. This is somewhat discouraging for me

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@MrLarsenJ That’s my plan too. I think teaching at a college would be great. I wouldn’t approach my K-12 job with the mindset that it is temporary or less important, I would still do my best, but I would be much more fulfilled when I reach my end goal of teaching college students.

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

A4 I don’t want to stay in K-12, I plan to do it for maybe 10 years, but I really want to be a professor. I would love to teach government at the college level. I also would like to participate in local government, if the opportunity were there. #ap3040

A3 I was researching teaching in my home town in KY, and I was so shocked to see how you can make easily $10,000 more in TN. I was thinking of teaching in Nashville, but when I think about driving I24 everyday, maybe I’ll stay in Clarksville 😂 #ap3040

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@JacintaMaji I think a positive environment is so important, and I think it would help me to be happier in my job.

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@JacintaMaji I can see that being a problem as well, maybe it would work better just having a professional network of educators that can help you when you need it.

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

A2 I would think that being in an environment where you have more support could help teachers. I feel like teachers can’t really vent their frustrations to anyone in fear of not being professional. Also pairing new teachers with a mentor teacher who has more experience.#ap3040

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@MrLarsenJ I have heard a lot of teacher horror stories related to parents. I wonder how many parents are actually the type to think that their child can do no wrong and that the grades they receive are the teachers fault, compared to how many are willing to work with the teacher. #ap3040

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

A1 I think that in a lot of cases it could just be realizing that your passion isn’t in teaching. There’s not really a way to realize how hard it will be until you’re in your own classroom. #ap3040

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

@jcamachonwhs I struggle with this, but I can definitely agree! I’ve learned from dealing with my nephews that some small things just aren’t worth stressing over.

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

My name is Haley Allen, I want to teach middle school social studies and the best advice I’ve recieved is to never be afraid to ask for help. #ap3040

[NPR's Education Team @npr_ed]

Wages are increasing in the skilled trades. The financial return from a bachelor's degree is decreasing.

But high school graduates are so encouraged to get a bachelor's that high-paid jobs with shorter and less expensive training are going unfilled.

@BettyCl04501176 I would disagree there, I think that technology and social media help to promote free thought. There's so many sources that you get the opportunity to really shape what you personally believe from things you read.

[Haley Allen @HaleyBAllen]

A5 I think that you could have students support each other over social media, by helping if one doesn't understand or forgot the assignment. You could also have them share their accomplishments, I feel that the positive feedback from followers could be a great motivator. #ap3040
