Absolutely ridiculous that I'm not expected to pay back thousands of $$$ in claims that were APPROVED. Please contact me @Ameritas to make this right.

[Kelly @kelwalk12]

@Ameritas do you want to explain why you're backcharging me thousands of dollars for dental work that you approved earlier this year?

I was on maternity leave all of last school year, and assumed my own insurance had lapsed 1/?

[Kelly @kelwalk12]

How is it my fault that you guys paid out claims you shouldn't have? How was I supposed to know the insurance had lapsed when it was still showing as active? If the policy was canceled when it should have been, I could've paid with my husband's FSA $ 4/?

Things only English teachers understand.

Another teacher asked if I would add her kids to my study hall this period for coverage $$$, and literally said "I would prefer not to" and I laughed to myself feeling all Bartleby the Scrivener.

@NotSpradlin I'm definitely considering taking off a week or even just a few days early. It's getting draining beyond capacity.

[Kelly @kelwalk12]

Oooooooh, teaching 7th grade at 37 weeks pregnant is...not it.

[Kelly @kelwalk12]

@NotSpradlin I just wish I had a desk job so badly right now 😭

Have to change a whole class's seating after too many of them made noises through each other's presentations even AFTER I gave the 'wow, i'm disappointed' speech.

Too much for a Monday morning when I'm dragging around a cantaloupe inside of me.

@k8roulette2 I had to block that account entirely because too many people I follow interact with his tweets and he was constantly in my timeline. 😒

[Kelly @kelwalk12]

@fakedansavage I definitely thought it was a ploy on their part!

Whiteness is the ability to calmly look at murdered children—to “patiently” explain, “we need to arm the teachers,” as if more guns will give us anything but more shootings.

Thank you, @JamaalBowmanNY. We need truth that breaks violent normalcy.

This makes me want to cry.

Here is the safe room in action! While it’s simple to put in place, both teachers with one in their classroom said they keep them set up and students use them as sensory or hang out rooms https://t.co/QGDh2gFxj1

Like…what will it take for some Americans to see how inhumane our daily lives are? It’s sickening.
