Don’t welcome folks who will stoke your rage without offering a respite for reason. Ignore folks who are quick to offer plans to burn it down without a strategy to build it better. Remove yourself from folks who recite painful platitudes but never share positive affirmation. Education is filled with folks who have no hope, faith, or plan. They may be in your orbit but they are not your people #OneToGrowOn #ProtectYourPeace

"If students are engaged in more long-term, authentic, creative projects, it’s much easier to provide them with choices, because we aren’t constantly trying to provide them with new busywork every day."

Maybe we should have potato chip companies determine class sizes in classrooms. 🤔😏

I am making a public pledge to avoid any back-to-school “ice breakers” this upcoming year, and I ask you to join me in this important cause.

If I had the power to “cancel” anything, it would be vaping.

Smoking in schools was essentially extinct 10 years ago.

What has happened with the rise of vaping is borderline criminal.

Draw to remember! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

[Ms. A @hey_miss_a]

My first ever class graduated last night.

Their 9th grade year was my first full year. I took on being their advisor. We had a blast. Then life happened and I switched schools last year. It was sad.

So many tears. Lots of hugs. Even a speech mention. My heart overflows ❤️

1/2 The more you know about what raises scores on standardized tests, the less likely you'd be to celebrate a high score or fret about a low one. Today's 1st example (from Linda McNeil's "Contradictions of School Reform"): "unteaching" in order to dumb kids down for the test.

[Crappy Teacher @teachcrap]

Teacher appreciation week: we will be feeding you different things all week.

Why is this the norm?

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

PARENT:
Why is my child failing?

TEACHER:
They don’t pay attention to anything we do in class. I’ve been trying to reach you to see how we can work together to solve this issue.

ADMIN TO TEACHER:
What can you do to motivate this student to pay attention in your class?

😔🙄😡

[Mr Pughsley🌍📚🌳 @ScottPughsley]

What’s the obsession with underlining titles and dates?

Why even write a date?

Waste of learning time IMO.
