We’ve been back to school for 4 days and I’ve subbed for 2 of the 4 already.

@SHEG_Stanford Not assessing events of the past by standards of today.

How on earth did we get to a point where it's considered normal to cram 30+ people in a room with one adult and expect learning to happen well?

Like, yeah, teachers make it happen, but it's an uphill battle every day.

@Thinkingschool2 I think the better question is, how do we get our kids both. Imagine the growth a student with a quality teacher in a small individualized learning setting would have…

[Jay Wamsted @JayWamsted]

Don’t tell me that reducing class size won’t help student learning.

Tell me you don’t want to pay for it. Tell me you don’t have the space. Tell me you don’t have the teachers.

But don’t gaslight me. There’s a reason private schools cap class size. Every teacher knows it.

One teacher provides more of a public service than one thousand politicians.

@teafromateacher Totally normal. I’ve found the more time I spend at home after school ends the harder it is for me to leave the house. So I try and get out of town as soon as school ends. A change of scenery seems to help me relax so I feel refreshed once August rolls around.

@edutopia Don’t try so hard to get the kids to like you. Be yourself.

@TheNextSummitA1 Time and weather.

@apart170 No… but my dog has rolled her eyes at me.

Getting bored with Umbrella Academy. Does a storyline ever develop? #4episodesin

Traveling internationally, every time I go to the ATM to get cash Chase charges me between $8-9 in international fees and non chase ATM fees. When I use my Chime card, $2.50. And Chase wonders why I’m leaving them.

Quick reminder: AP Exams aren’t graded on a curve – any student who earns the points required for an AP 2,3,4,5 gets that score, no matter how many students that is. So the grade distributions are different subject to subject, year to year, reflecting student gains in learning.
