Some teachers are sending impersonal emails checking on whether students have logged into online learning. Such emails can have unintended consequences b/c people affected by trauma sometimes interpret neutral signals as negative. @AlexSVenet @KaraNewhouse https://t.co/Nif5re42HE

PSA:
No matter how great a new practice, program, or initiative is, you can't expect a teacher to do it well without proper time, training, practice, and support.

@Chas10Buttigieg @WeAreTeachers It’s a very hard but thankless job and has a low salary. Those who still do it, do it because they want to help others. Because we love the students we work with...
@Chas10Buttigieg @WeAreTeachers Getting people outside the profession to recognize how crucial and important the responsibility we’ve been given is.
Teaching isn’t babysitting. It is a mentally and emotionally taxing vocation that is worth every minute.
@Chas10Buttigieg @WeAreTeachers Teaching is 24/7. We never stop. At the store, at home, holidays, family time, weekends-it doesn't matter. Our kids are always on our minds. We are always thinking, planning, worrying, hoping, adjusting. It never ends. #teacherlife
@Chas10Buttigieg @WeAreTeachers We emotionally support over 100 kids each day and have nowhere to put that emotional baggage. I worry about my students at night and on the weekends just as much as in the classroom. We need a healthy way to carry the emotional burden that comes with teaching.
@Chas10Buttigieg @WeAreTeachers Some days you don't get any work finished because the relationships are more important. If you can't take the time to cultivate those connections, you won't ever make progress. Kids need breaks, too.
