Awesome thread.

This is the story of my life. Good to know others understand my struggles.

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

It’s very difficult being an introverted educator because you have to force yourself to be “on” every day. Almost every aspect of your work involves doing the thing that requires most of your energy - interacting with people.

[MsEEvans @MsEEvans1]

My hope is that more educators realize this. Students engaging in their learning vs. teachers telling them content is way more powerful.

[Edmund Adjapong Ph.D. @KingAdjapong]

A great educator is a true facilitator of knowledge.
There's a difference between giving students information/content to memorize and creating the context for students to develop their own understandings and interpretations of information/content.

This tells me entertainment is valued more than education. TikTok “stars” earn more than a teacher ever will on just salary alone. #CancelStudentDebt #education #payreform

@DrQuentinJLee Did you tell them the same way 1000 times or did you alter your method of delivery?

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

“Duh” fixes for remote learning:

No testing.
Get rid of A-F grades.
Homework only as enrichment
Cut screen time down to 3hrs max.
One full asynchronous day for everyone.
STOP trying to make remote learning look exactly like in-person learning.

@mwallywi @ericbolling @realDonaldTrump @LelandVittert @ErinMPerrine Trump supporters looking for a Network that only speaks good about the Donald?

[MsEEvans @MsEEvans1]

I completely agree

[Sydney Jensen @sydneycjensen]

Not sure who needs to hear this, but stop taking off points for late assignments. It’s not helping students learn responsibility, and it’s not making your job easier. It’s only making your class inequitable. 💯

@suestud74 @PRodSpeaks @Lrihendry Now you are being extreme and not speaking logically. Reminds me of someone else. (Mr. President.) So it’s time for me to exit.

[MsEEvans @MsEEvans1]

@suestud74 @PRodSpeaks @Lrihendry Read her page still not impressed. I’m not missing the point, Nancy, Barbara, And Laura were not Dems but they were more visible, active, and hands-on in their role as FLOTUS. So my original claim still stands she is the least visible FLOTUS of my time.

[MsEEvans @MsEEvans1]

@suestud74 @PRodSpeaks @Lrihendry I’m only speaking on Melania. So all a First Lady needs to do is be pretty and wear designer clothes? I’m saying Her initiatives lack substance, grit, and public appeal.

[MsEEvans @MsEEvans1]

@suestud74 @PRodSpeaks @Lrihendry I haven’t always followed politics and will not profess to be an expert but Melania is the least visible FLOTUS in my lifetime.

[MsEEvans @MsEEvans1]

@suestud74 @PRodSpeaks @Lrihendry Maybe I’m asking the wrong Dems and Repubs because I can never get a clear answer as to what programs she’s involved in. Please enlighten me or direct me somewhere to get info more specific than Google it.
