What?

[T Metts @lke2tch]

Well, this didn’t age well. 1 of 3 reasons I am calling it a career after 26 years.

Difference now and 15-20 years ago is that I don’t let parents terrorize me!!!

@edutopia It starts at home!!!

@sage_stage @Only_one_thomas And at my school they have a policy that they will not move student out until an action plan is followed. But no, they move them before they even do Step 1, talk to teacher and create action plan for student to follow first.

@norchcity You should see the gum underneath the tables!!! I had to clean up some computer cables so custodians can wax the floors and forget about it. The amount of gum I saw, gross.

@FixingEducation And some of those ill-prepared become administrators perpetuating the problem!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@ModestTeacher Kudos to them, best staff in the school. That works hard year round

@SaraJarque @Raymondyamigos ¡ahí está el problema!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@heymrsbond I cut that shit out. I am not there to be their friends or have them cross that line with me either!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@EdnaKrabapple1 I love how these gurus block us when we call them out in their horseshiet.

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@Jmac1066115787 @RAD_is_awesome This is so freaking true. This happens!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@Scienergetic You do know there are still plenty of dedicated students who care, right!!! Let’s stop focusing on those that are not and continue to spend our energy and soul on those that are!!! And stop bitching in social media while we are at it!!!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@KKNTeachLearn Teaching gets easier with more experience. Now dealing with kids that terrorize and Admin does little to nothing, that’s a different story.

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@msmtchnk And I hate to put it this way, but don’t live to work. Don’t work yourself to death. This place will replace you in a heartbeat. So find ways to put yourself first!!!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@msmtchnk Coping mechanisms that work for you. What are they? No one size fits all so not easy to tell you. But examples are learning to work your pay rate and your contract hours. Does not get done? Walls are not going to crumble

@DrBradJohnson But it is very hard when principals have become dictators and their words are insults to our professionalism. Then what?

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@DrBradJohnson Tell that to the principals that are dictators and make it a hellhole at work!!!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@SteeleThoughts That kind of starts at home though!!!

[T Metts @lke2tch]

@SustainTeaching It be nice if I could just be asked to work my pay rate!!!
