Welp, the state of Texas is taking over my school district. That’s me asking questions about their plan for curriculum, books, and school libraries. TEA’s response is not great.

With the state power grab privatization motivated takeover of Fort Worth ISD in full swing, I revisited the episode of the 817 Pod w/ Ale Checka, and I did a supercut of the important things she had to say. Give it a watch. These are the people we should be listening to: Teachers

Thousands of No Kings protesters gathered around Houston and descended upon downtown Saturday as part of a national day of action against what organizers say is “authoritarian” leadership under President Donald Trump. Here's a look at the protests in downtown Houston, as captured by Houston Chronicle staff photographers. https://t.co/Njke77MXhS

The #nokings protest in Fort Worth had a small playground, little kids, inflatable costumes, good speeches.

Extremely hard for me every year. Ninety nine kids will like me but I will feel so defeated about the kid who despises me. Bu, you know, that’s life. Not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and it’s a fool’s errand to try and teach with the goal of students personally liking you

[dr. alicia andrzejewski (she/her) @aliciaandrz]

I don’t really think she heard me, but I hope other faculty struggling with students who expect them to be someone they’re not do. you cannot have an authentic teaching style & persona that works for every single student. be the best you you can be. it took me too long to learn.
