@ModestTeacher My school feeds all kids both breakfast and lunch for free, and phones are not allowed in sight in classrooms. 2 outta 3 ain’t bad!

@MrDanielBuck Why does it have to be one or other? Can’t we care about accomplishing tasks, achieving results, and building positive relationships?

Signs you may be part of a toxic school/trust cult:

Not questioning things that deep down you know you disagree with or are wrong

Feeling scared of stepping away from the corporate identity in any way

Consciously not doing anything in the classroom that doesn’t fit into the strict methodology, regardless of whether your professional self says ‘do it’

Feeling scared and sycophantic in equal measure towards leaders and authority figures

Changing yourself to suit the will of others

Thinking that everyone within the school/trust staff body thinks exactly the same way

Automating responses on social media to colleagues boosting them or the product regardless of content

Being constantly scared of failing and/or losing your job

Always seeking to become ‘better’ - within the accepted status quo model regardless of what ‘better’ means

Losing yourself and struggling to relate to yourself in the way you once did

Thinking that if you leave, your career is over and you’ll never get the reference you need

How many of these cults are there out there? Hard to say, but 100% they exist. What should you do if you are in one? Don’t be scared, find yourself again and take action, whatever that action might be. Don’t lose yourself or hope!

@MrWolff76 @ModestTeacher Should we just keep letting the humans have them then?

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Teachers don't need to work 60+ hours a week, spend weekends grading/planning, or say yes to everything they're asked to do to be considered PASSIONATE about their job. That's burnout, not passion.

Some teachers want to ignore the bad apples among us. I'm a teacher too but I don't universally & unconditionally support all teachers. And I question teachers who do. That doesn't make me a hater. There are some bad teachers out there doing bad things to kids and that's not ok

[Michelle Pick @mPicktacular]

@DrBradJohnson I appreciate mine for sure! We are grateful for @katieatowler at the @SCCareerAcademy !

Okay why did it take me 31 years of life to find out that PAPRIKA IS JUST GROUND RED BELL PEPPER?!?

More politicians should be like this guy.

You shouldn’t have to pay an extra $50 to sit next to your child on the plane, pay a surprise “resort fee” for a hotel stay, pay $200 to terminate your cable plan, or pay huge service fees to buy concert tickets.

It’s time for Congress to pass the Junk Fee Prevention Act.
