So, yeah, I'm a teacher if you haven't figured out by now! I work in a wonderful title one school with primarily immigrant and refugee families. Please check out and help if you can! https://t.co/rq8VZ2U2KX

@DavidG_CSLP @NicholasFerroni You are so evil!

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@LakotaMan1 Oh, so embarrassing. Infuriating as well.

@GoodGyalLex @Sdaley9 @ObsessedTeach @PEARLfectChassi The book it's based off of is so good! It has a different ending. Jodi Picoult does not miss very often!

@BooksandMelanin Same, I'm counting down the hours until break right now.

@skicanoesun32 @StacyHD @JesseBering I grew up listening to his music in the Texas panhandle and didn't realize no one else around me knew who he was until I was in middle school. Barett's Privateers is just so good!

@MsMessineo @ellesie99 @How2Navigate @JayWamsted @EThorntonGHS Oh my god, that is horrible! It's literally setting kids up to struggle more as time passes! I mean I get that no one learns at the exact same pace, but that's why you give more practice and methods of understanding, not vault them into more difficulty!

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@spyhermit @IwriteOK Oh no, they do both! Don't you know that teachers can sweep for bombs while keeping students calm and/or prepping for the school day?!

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@IwriteOK As a teacher that sounds about right. The expectations for teachers keep going up. Our district gave us a COLA increase, then started increasing expectations with very little time to complete them. I'm so tired.

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@heymrsbond Oh no! This is heart breaking!

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@juliebnaughton @RAD_is_awesome Depth of knowledge.

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@SPuro88 Spread more out and make it part of the aesthetic,, that is your only hope.

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@ask_aubry Does anyone have a link to this one on reddit? I can't find it.

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@ashvanbro89 @JoannaisWriting I am so sorry. I'm glad that you were able to get away. You didn't deserve that.

@bibliomami @BooksandMelanin Our school only lets us have ine lamp, and my custodian keeps unplugging mine!

@Darimini76G @CallMeMoprah I have others that have no restrictions. It is a matter of talking, and having open communication with family's. The app Talking Points is a big help, as it translates texts so I don't have to constantly have our family liaisons call families with every question.

[Jess Roulston @RoulstonJess]

@Darimini76G @CallMeMoprah I talk to my kids, I talk to parents. Some of them I taught their siblings, so it's just a matter of checking to make sure that nothing has changed.
I agree, not all cultures are monoliths. I have one student whose faith says that they cannot go to music class. 1/2
