NYS ELA state test is this week and next week for thousands of students.

Why don’t public schools communicate to families that they have the right to opt out of these tests? Feels unethical.

5 tips to reduce stress of staff.
1) if asking to meet with them, let them know why.
2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff.
3) praise a lot more than you critique
4) Minimize meetings
5) continual encouragement and support

DM: “Stop complaining! You should be paid like a babysitter anyway.”

ME: “Agreed.”

Babysitter’s average $15 per hour…

$15 x 164 students = $2,460 per day

$2,460 x 180 days = $442,800

So… yeah.

15 years ago I thought paperless classrooms were the future. Now I think they're an overhyped edtech dystopia. Students need tactile reading and writing experiences, which research shows leads to deeper, more sustained learning. #bfc530
