Taught about working/living conditions for labor in the late 1800s...asked my kids if this violated the president's "patriotic education" idea...student: you can only celebrate when you overcome something. @EducatorsRoom @ms_schaake16 @palan57

[The Educator's Room @EducatorsRoom]

The important work of a @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris presidency is that we must fix the Department of Education starting with eliminating #highstakes testing.

"Society’s problems aren’t about removing politics from the classroom. It’s about society’s inability to embrace the politics of the classroom." #theeducatorsroom @KHSBluebirdEngl @ms_schaake16

@BradLeeMoses1 @EducatorsRoom Doesn't the Civil Rights Movement and America's struggle with white supremacy mean that racism is political?

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@palan57 Thanks for participating tonight! Excellent use of the term "asshat"!! #theeducatorsroom

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@DMaxMJ @EducatorsRoom Thanks for participating! Great to have you!! #theeducatorsroom

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@EducatorsRoom Lots of fun! Can't wait to do it again!

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@DMaxMJ @EducatorsRoom A8: How can teachers compete with social media, which functions like a drug providing pleasure? I hope we can, but we have to do something to stunt the influence of tech! #theeducatorsroom @Tjac512 @ms_schaake16

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

A9: A champion, everyone seems to be saying that regardless of their politics. She made decisions that influenced how we manage our society. She was political, and teachers should follow her lead! #theeducatorsroom @ms_scott_bcps @ms_schaake16

[Emma-Kate Schaake @ms_schaake16]

A9: @mistersutton1 RGB was a champion for human rights. Speaking of her in any other way disgraces her legacy.

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@KHSBluebirdEngl Word! That's political and good teaching. People have this idea that politics is about throwing stones at each other instead of building each other up! #theeducatorsroom

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@EducatorsRoom A8: Just watched The Social Dilemma on @netflix so this hits close! Phones and social media capture a lot of our student's attention! And, these platforms feed them what they want to see! #theeducatorsroom @palan57 @leahrenzi @ms_schaake16 @ElizFritsche

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@ms_schaake16 @BradLeeMoses1 @MrBenjesPHS And right now it seems like it is. Recently, I saw a teacher questioned for teaching Farewell to Manzanar. Kids need that book. It is a political book, but it should not be partisan! #theeducatorsroom @KristiRizzo @KHSBluebirdEngl @Tjac512

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

A2: Great question all teachers are confronting today. It's a political choice to condemn hateful rhetoric. It just shouldn't be controversial or partisan. #theeducatorsroom @ms_schaake16 @BradLeeMoses1 @MrBenjesPHS

[The Educator's Room @EducatorsRoom]

Q2. How can we condemn hateful rhetoric that targets our students' identities without seeming to endorse particular candidates? #theeducatorsroom

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

A6: We have to redefine politics. It's not language's fault we can't discuss politics. It's the fact that we think our politics are solid and unchanging. Society and its values change over time! #theeducatorsroom @kelseyrae014 @KristiRizzo @jenny_grim

[Emma-Kate Schaake @ms_schaake16]

A6: As an ELA teacher, I think we can and should shift to dive into our texts as products of their time and place. Everything from classics to today’s news stories. #theeducatorsroom @mistersutton1 @DMaxMJ @palan57 @EducatorsRoom

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@Tjac512 @EducatorsRoom @KristiRizzo @DMaxMJ @ms_schaake16 @palan57 Love that! Def have to be willing to look inward and challenge ourselves too if we are going to challenge others!! #theeducatorsroom @leahrenzi @MrCarneyCMS @jbenjaminBCPS

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

@EducatorsRoom A2: It is political to condemn hateful rhetoric. Teachers aren't the problem because they manage classrooms that don't tolerate bigotry. The problem is our politics not our teachers #theeducatorsroom @ms_schaake16 @palan57 @DMaxMJ

[Adam Sutton @mistersutton1]

Word! #theeducatorsroom @MrEandre @MrKusterer @MrCarneyCMS @JenniferYoungb7

[Emma-Kate Schaake @ms_schaake16]

@palan57 @EducatorsRoom I don’t want my students to feel forced to agree with me, but if they don’t have a more open mind after my class, I don’t think I’ve done my job.
