Sixth-grade math teacher.

@sage_stage We had this happen for the first time this year and the district closed for the day.

@DanielPeak16 @heymrsbond As someone who chose to wear button-down shirts and a tie everyday for 17 years as an elementary teacher of 6th graders (so they saw me all day), I never experienced this. Pajama day was just a regular day for most of them. Some boys didn't shower or comb their hair most days.

@MarcusLuther6 There are parents who will then email me and volunteer my lunch hour to catch the child up on the missed teaching...

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@MarcusLuther6 Instead they tell me that only 20% of my walls can have items on them. That's apparently the real issue.

@edtechmathteach Doing this would make me too anxious to sleep. Already between Friday evening and this morning, I've put in at least 6 hours of planning, giving feedback, and writing emails. I will most likely put in 4 more hours today. You've got a better mindset but I don't know how to change.

@TeacherOnTopic I had this just this week where I decided not to take a day due to the need to write plans and then dealing with the repercussions of being gone when I return.

@TheAndrewNadeau My first thought is Donald Trump when walking into the wind.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@TeacherBusy Like the constant emails now begging for staff to work the lunch hour.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@EDUwithEmily I've also never had coffee. A lot of people think this is impossible, so it's nice to see I'm not the only one who "somehow manages."

It's October, and I'm finally getting the chance to read @michaelregina's The Sleepover! My Adamsville bookmark probably won't be getting much work as I fly through this creepy graphic novel.

@sage_stage As an elementary teacher, I have 3 hours a week of plan time-- technically less since I have to walk my kids to their specials. I'll never understand how people say they take nothing home when planning, grading, etc for 6-7 different subjects a day.

@lke2tch @CovingtonEDU @MadiSP4321 @kaIIiiope With the same masters plus 30 and number of years teaching, I would make 28k more per year if I taught in my local high school district rather than teaching elementary.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@ModestTeacher And they won't wear them. Many students last year took them off and ran in the field during recess with just socks because they didn't want mud or creases on the shoes.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@EDUwithEmily Grading math and social studies assessments, finishing report cards, and planning for next week. Also, finally getting my dahlias in the ground if time allows.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@ibogost Become a teacher and then you don't need to worry about having lunch.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@theDRAMAgoat1 I would take kindness. A whole week of it from my students and their parents? That would be amazing.

[Shane Jensen @LeapingReader]

@MrsCHeidrich Dan Poblocki is a good go to. Katherine Arden (Small Spaces) and Michael Regina (The Sleepover) have also been recent favorites.

@JayWamsted I dressed as Snape for Halloween one year and removed my glasses for accuracy. I was asked if I was wearing under eye makeup by a kid. Nope. Just my tired eyes.

@nemesisn15 @michaelregina I did a combination of physical CDs and Overdrive through my library.
