Thoughts from a third-grade teacher.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day.
We must trust teachers.

If a 2nd grade word problem on a standardized test is written at a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, then you aren’t testing for math, you’re testing for above grade level reading. And doesn't reflect student knowledge of actual 2nd grade math curriculum.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

The average child asks 200-300 questions a day. So if an elementary school teacher has 20 students, they are asked a minimum of 4,000 questions a day… 4,000!

If your partner/spouse is an elementary school teacher, THIS is why they don’t want any questions when they get home.

My teacher heart explodes when I hear my kids using academic vocabulary in everyday conversations! I heard organism, insulator, and opportunity cost this week 😍

Conference week and it just warms my heart when parents tell me their kid loves school 🥰

Got home today and one of my little neighbor kids noticed my name tag/lanyard and went, “Are you a teacher?” with the same excitement you would use when meeting a celebrity 😆🥰
