@BurgerKing I am at store 25223 in Fort Worth Texas. It is critically understaffed. Somehow, the lady running both the front counter and the drive thru at the same time and the one cook in the back are keeping it going. I am very impressed with their ability to manage the crowd.

@TroyMooney “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Never thought this would apply to teaching.

Teaching with a migraine is taking the difficulty level to 1000. 0/5 ⭐️ do not recommend.

@heymrsbond A Hope in the Unseen. Really opened my eyes to urban education. I read it in grad school, but I feel like its message is still impacting me as a teacher.

My principal stopped by to deliver the annual teacher gift. He was dressed as Buddy the Elf. I laughed uncontrollably, and the only words I could muster were “Did you lose a bet?” 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Michael Elder @melderscience]

It’s so hard to see a gifted teacher quit the profession due to overwhelming lofty expectations and way too much on the plate. Surely we can do better.

@Wicky_dubs_WX I had a migraine last night. If this is connected, I would love to see the research.

I will continue to say that we had the once in a lifetime opportunity to rethink public education in robust and creative ways during the pandemic. I assert that we wasted that time trying to get back "to normal". It's depressing to think about what schools could have been.
