I shouldn’t have to use sick days for maternity leave. Education in the U.S. needs to do better.

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@NicholasFerroni It’s unfortunate that our degrees are so specialized that we really don’t have many options outside of education.

"Quebec’s Education Department says that by Dec. 31 all schools must have a policy restricting the use of cellphones in classrooms"

@Square If you are able to take off what we brought in business yesterday that you couldn’t process off of our small business loan, that would be a more suitable apology.

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@Square It would have been great to get an email as soon as the outage was detected so that we didn’t lose our credit card transactions. It’s not like you don’t have that info on file.

@SraWilliams3 I saw that you are thinking about adding my book from @WaysidePublish ! I feel honored!

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@EThorntonGHS I did not!! 😩

@MartinaBex @placido @Roushketeer1 @TerryWaltz_TCI @SarahBreckley @senoraCMT @actfl @HowieBermanCAE @FluencyMatters I’ve literally only ever been able to attend 1 ACTFL conference in my nearly 15 year career. And the one that I went to was only possible by volunteering in the @FluencyMatters booth. This conference is so expensive not only in registration but in location costs too.

Watched a movie based on a true story this week in my classes. At the end of the movie, it shows the real people with a caption of what they are doing now.

I had a kid ask why the kids in the movie look nothing like what they do as adults now.

Um. Those are actors.

A great teacher can be broken by this

A great group of kids can be left behind

This isn’t inclusion, this ignores the 99%.

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@SarahBreckley I’m so glad that this is a nationwide problem because I thought it was just me!

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

I feel this even more now that some of the loudest voices in my class are those that talk about how much they don’t want to be there.

[Jennifer Williams (LaSalle) @LasalleJennifer]

@heymrsbond Another thing people don’t talk about…. It’s very hard to be a mother and a teacher. If any young women out there want to be a mother- don’t be a teacher. Too demanding…. Not enough time for your kids. Exhausting….not emotionally present for your own kids.

ICTFL is excited to present our Fall Conference 2022! We are glad to be back in person at the NIU Conference Center in Naperville, IL from October 13th-15th. Stay tuned for registration details and events you won’t want to miss while we celebrate our 35th Anniversary!

@EThorntonGHS Big news 😱🤯

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@EThorntonGHS did you hear the latest @CNCOmusic news?!? 😭😭

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@MaestraLondon @nellyanhug @FluencyMatters Thank you! That was a 5-year process that’s finally done!

[Melisa Lopez @profelopez716]

@Prof_F_Henshaw We are actually working on a Region 5 @ICTFL workshop day and want to get people connected beforehand! It’s hard in Southern Illinois to reach everyone!
