I’m a Texas schoolteacher for 30+ teacher. I’ve been a Dallas Cowboys fan since the 1971-1972 season. I’m also a big San Antonio Spurs fan. Any TX team really.

@DavidChancellor Gotta go with Eddie. 🎸

@StephTweet @bookcollector08 @kimrubio21 Good thing you know so much so can add “perspective” with all that wisdom.
With a little more actual perspective maybe you’d be less on the self assured, yet wholly incorrect personal judgments. I agree with most of what you’ve said. (Maybe just not how you choose to say it.)

@StephTweet @bookcollector08 @kimrubio21 As a teacher, rules make classes go smoother so that ALL have a chance to learn. If you believe dress code rules are antiquated/sexist, change them. I don’t have a problem with that at all. We’ve got to come together to make EVERYTHING better. /2

@StephTweet @bookcollector08 @kimrubio21 Ms. Steph. As easy as it is for you to say “F that!” to a total stranger, it may be hard for you to understand that “Come together.” can be a real sentiment./1

@amyfaithelaine @Jodie_2007 @J_monterone @kimrubio21 With as many people’s reactions to dress code rules, they should get together and change them.
General societal rules/behaviors are not 1:1 in the classroom. The teacher has to be in charge. Otherwise, there’s no learning possible.

@izzie_yizzie @Jodie_2007 @kimrubio21 Don’t understand your point here. Perhaps just trying to make it personal. I do know (as you, no doubt, also know) that kids not following class rules (seating charts, phones, etc.) make for a horrible experience for students and teachers alike.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@izzie_yizzie @J_monterone @kimrubio21 Anarchist much?
If the rules are_______.
Then let’s get together and change them for the better.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@SydneyShafer @Jodie_2007 @J_monterone @kimrubio21 Is that what we tell our children? Don’t listen to our rules, you may not agree?
That’s nonsensical.
“Unnecessary”?
The only reason rules like dress codes exist is because someone always wants to push boundaries.
These “critical thinkers” make easy stuff harder for schools.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@theopholus @kimrubio21 Yeah! Anarchy! Topple everything! Overthrow everyone!!!
FREEDOM!!!!!! smh… 🤦🏽‍♂️

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@drabbits1 @nathaliejacoby1 That sounds an awful lot like “parenting”, doesn’t it?

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@Jodie_2007 @J_monterone @kimrubio21 Arguing over rules shows we want to kick and choose whose authority we respect. Children will follow our example. For better or worse.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@Jodie_2007 @kimrubio21 I’ve been a teacher for over 33 years. Yes ma’am. I’ve had kids go through and I’ve seen more than a few.
PD HAS to do better. No excuses. But WE have to make sure our children are taught to respect others and authority or they’ll act as if they don’t have to.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@J_monterone @kimrubio21 /2 They did. And that’s not debatable. They failed. But WE all fail as a society when we teach our children that “stupid” rules don’t deserve to be followed/respected.
We need to be better so that the environment created this can change.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@J_monterone @kimrubio21 My reply addresses “rules”.
Rules are to be followed and respected (until they can be changed for new rules). A lack of respect for rules and authority is what leads someone to take another’s life w/o any regard. The police et al, didn’t start the day looking to fail…/1

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@TulsiGabbard Instigate much?
Both can be important for one who’s eyes see more than what is placed before them.

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@DavidChancellor Happy Birthday, good sir!
Have an awesome day!🎂

[rubenvz1963 @rubenvz1963]

@ksorbs Nothing needs to be “controlled” if you would just control yourself.

@JourdanJD Get well soon @JourdanJD !
