I teach the youth!

A 4th grader renamed the U.S. MKO: Mish-mash Karens of Obeseland. They also said freedom is anarchy…this was for the pre-unit essential question. I don’t know if I’m proud or concerned (maybe both?). Not sure @ChiPubSchools Skyline is cut out for this one. #TheBestAreWithCPS

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Basically, yes. This.

So, I’m back. Wanna know why? I was pulled into the hall (in the middle of a standardized test) to learn I’m being assigned a very different position for next year...HAPPY #TeacherAppreciationWeek I keep thinking pandemic depression school year can’t get worse, yet it does.

Day 16 of Combination Pandemic Depression School Year + #Debates2020 Round 1 = I need a milkshake, a Xanax, and 62 consecutive hours of sleep. #TeacherProblems

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Day...11? - Kids are mostly good and cute. I’m still exhausted. When I see other teacher people doing intentional exercise after work I’m very much ⬇️

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Day 8 - 4th graders are better listeners than 5th graders, the parents are already too much, I ended the day crying when our food delivery order was wrong because I’m just that. fucking. exhausted.

Alllllllll the aunties 🤦‍♀️

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Day 2 = 😖
Day 3 (today) = 😏
I’m gonna call this a win. I did not cry today, that I can recall. I made some kids smile & dance. We might be okay.

Day 1 of Combination Pandemic Depression School Year ✅
- Cried ~3 times
- Forgot to adequately eat & hydrate
- Barely made it to the bathroom in time
- Feeling somehow less prepared for tomorrow than I was for today

My cousin just told me that citing an @NPR article was the same as him sending me Glenn Beck BS, so I think my hopelessness & despair are perfectly well-founded. It’s 10am and I’m done with today. #DoomScrolling #TeacherProblems

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

When the brilliant keynote (@k_shelton is the real deal) is stressing how to be culturally responsive, but your district guidance says to live teach the standards 3+ hrs/day + independent tasks + small groups + regular assessment... #MakeItMakeSense #TheBestAreWithCPS #CTU

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Have any of you dared to ask your Trumpy aunts & uncles if they think MLK and Rosa Parks deserved jail time? Anne Frank’s protectors? Part of me wants to go off w/ this soon, but I’m also afraid of the answers I’ll get...

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Stop 👏🏼 Talking 👏🏼 About 👏🏼 #ChicagoLooting #ChicagoRiots #ChicagoViolence without mentioning redlining, defunded schools, racist cops, & corrupt crony politicians who keep trying to cover it all up! #BlackLivesMatter #DefundThePolice #DefundCPD

Guess who’s baaaaaccckkk!
(I’m mostly here to say the things I can’t let all the conservative aunties on fb see 🤫) #Progressive #Midwestern #TeacherProblems

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

I have sneezed approximately 1,543 times since coming home from P/T conferences. #Germs #Paranoia #TeacherProblems

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

If you believe you’ve maintained a respectable attention span in the age of smart phones, I dare you to help me grade these 5th grade research reports... #TeacherProblems #SoManyDistractions 😴

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Thank you, mystery student, for gifting me hot tea for the holidays. It’s a necessity for maintaining a healthy body temp. in my 110 yr old apartment right now.

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Just learned this account was a thing. If you didn’t know until now, you’re welcome. https://t.co/cgPHvBe1ei

@princessplacebo Good to know...but also sad 😢 How do we make Sundays positive? (*Gasp* Is this why people go to church?!)

[Ms. Stizzle @MsStizzle]

Even when I love my job, Sundays are hard...so much anxiety, exhaustion, dread. Is this adulting for everyone, or mostly a #TeacherProblem ?
