Mr. Kniffen

history teacher at Norman High School.

Don’t think there are many here who don’t follow me elsewhere, but some may:

I’m leaving teaching in May. After nearly a decade in the classroom I’ve decided to move on. I’ll be joining the K20 Center at OU in June and I’m super excited!

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

@irbybandman I took a job and am leaving at the end of the year. Looks like Norman is losing two of us.

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

@brooklyniscute1 At the game? You should’ve come and said hi!!

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

7th hour kids: if you have a picture of me in that pink dragon ball a polo shirt, send those bad boys over here.

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

Shoutout to @Cole30Cory and the NHS boys!

Awful way to lose, but proud of the fight and program you’re building!

Love those boys.

[Cory Cole @Cole30Cory]

Enjoyed catching the boys game tonight!

Two years ago I was in Colorado for Link Crew training when I got the worst phone call of my career.

Love all my Moore folks. Thinking about those families today.

Ya boy when he just got that “school is closed the rest of the week” email:

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

SNOW. DAY.

God bless.

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

Me, looking at those possible snow days this week:

In class I said the phrase “as the prophet Tupac once said: ‘I ain’t a killa but don’t push me’” and a student asked “who’s Tupac?”

We need a History of Hip Hop in America elective ASAP.

@SheaSerrano’s Rap Yearbook can be the text.

My guy @MehrabianWHAP breaking up fights in the hallway like

yet another instance of Steven Adams bouncing a giant human from the club.

3. This guy is getting ratio’d into oblivion.

You absolutely love to see it.

How about you tweet a huge “thank you” to educators who stayed in the profession and are showing up everyday during a pandemic that your boss has woefully ignored instead of calling us out?

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

1. It’s not “first reaction.” Schools are doing literally everything we can.

2. Come sub a class then, big guy.

[Dr. Rick Cobb @middelsupt]

It's insulting that you think this is any district's "first reaction." We've been pulling all available staff to cover classes. The fact that #oklaed schools and districts have maintained instruction as long as we have shows your complete lack of situational understanding.

[Ryan Walters @RyanWalters_]

The first reaction should not be to shut schools down. It is the last resort. Parents are tired and children suffer when administrators act out of fear and not in the best interests of their kids and their future. (1/2)

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

No “Moore 4 Christmas” at Norman?
No problem.

My classes raised $1K for @ptokc to help stock their “Merry Market” for parents to get gifts (for free) for their kids!

Incredible stuff. Couldn’t be more proud.

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

@coachgregwillis @CoachSookNHS name starts with a B

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

Norman folks! I just want you to know that this picture of @MehrabianWHAP and I exists:

[Mr. Kniffen @mr_kniffen]

@MehrabianWHAP That’s ridiculous
