Epilepsy affects millions of people and families across the United States, yet many still don't understand what it is or how it impacts daily life. Take a moment to learn more about epilepsy and help spread awareness, understanding, and support. https://t.co/5XWOoIcZk0

Nobody talks about the student who came ready to learn, sat through the disruption, said nothing, and fell further behind while every adult in the building focused on the one who made the most noise. She is still waiting for someone to notice she was there, too.

Teacher receives zero work from a student.
Gives the student a 0.
Admin: ‘Nope — give them a 50.’

This is real. And it’s happening in schools right now.
No effort = half credit.
We were told to give them a 50 because we don’t want the student feeling defeated. 🤬

I refused to give the a 50 for a zero effort….absolutely refused! I was called into the office where I was confronted by the Principal, Superintendent and a couple of other board members. They wanted to understand why I refused to follow the 50 for 0 policy. I quickly told them I became a teacher to educate children. It’s my job to teach and evaluate what my students learn, not to pass them on without making sure they have a solid foundation. The Superintendent then said that a 50 is still a failing grade, and I said “yes sir, and when a paper earns a 50 failing grade that is what they will receive, but if a paper earns a 0 then that is the grade they will receive”.

How exactly does giving students half credit for no effort prepare kids for reality?

It took Ja'Kobi Gillespie several stops before transferring to his home state Volunteers.. But Gillespie's name was known throughout Tennessee years before landing in Knoxville.

Your athletic career is most likely temporary; your character lasts a lifetime. The person you are is far more important than the player you are! What are your habits/routines? Are you grateful, humble, honest. Do you care for others? Be someone people respect on & off the court!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Parents: You’re raising a child, not an athlete. Teach them respect, hard work, how to be a good person. Show them what character & work ethic are. Hold them accountable. Teach them that they won’t ever get what they don’t earn. Strong, well-rounded kids find success much easier!

Make sure that people who pat you on the back don't have a switchblade up their sleeve.

In 1986, The American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.

In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, caused by high amounts of stress.

At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.

A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.

Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendon in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!

The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called Pericardial effusion & the lungs, Pleural effusion.

To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.

This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much, He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.

Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

Thank You, Jesus.

When a situation doesn't change ask God to give you grace to get through it!

Bless the coaches who hold all kids accountable for grades, conduct & behavior. Never doubt that choosing discipline over a win is the right thing. It matters. That example says that regardless of how good a player is, he/she will be held to a very high standard. That’s powerful!

Leadership is not asking anyone to do anything you aren’t willing to do yourself.

See a need? Meet a need.
🔺Clean a bathroom
🔹Teach a lesson
🔺Serve in the cafeteria
🔹Help regulate a student
🔺Let teachers have “tap out” breaks
🔹Teach an intervention group

When we get in the trenches and stay there, we create a culture of “I’ve got you” instead of “Gotcha”. There’s a big difference. #multiplyexcellence

I had a student who accidentally spilled food from his thermos all over the floor in my classroom. I immediately went to grab paper towels and cleaning supplies. The student said, “Oh but Ms. K you should call the custodian. That’s not our job.” I stopped for a moment and smiled. I said to him, “When you are part of a school community it’s everyone’s job to help out when needed. We can all lend a helping hand and we should.” He got up and grabbed some paper towels and began to help me with the clean up. It was absolutely awesome! #StarfishClub #X
