Thank you all so very much.

I have a student this year who is new to our school. They are currently reading 8 wpm with 60% accuracy.

It’s infuriating that this child has been failed by adults by making it to 3rd without being taught to read.

Buckle up Kiddo, it’s time you learn.

Teacher retirement systems should be like military pensions: make it to 20 years, and you’re set.

I can’t believe that in 2023, even with a teacher shortage, we are still having conversations about teachers being allowed to wear jeans.

ADHD is _desperately_ needing a cup of coffee, taking one sip, and then forgetting about it completely until it’s gone cold.

Thanks to @Bowtiedthinker inspiring me, I made a coloring book! Feathered Friends Owl Coloring is the first of many Owl coloring books I plan on making!

It was a blast to make and even more fun to color. Follow the link below to purchase one!

Honestly, @tcm is the only reason we have cable.

How much of postpartum hair loss is due to hormones and how much is due to the ruthless baby death grip?

Actual feedback from an observation- "Don't play a video for the whole class, that's teacher centered. Have each of them play it on their laptops, that's student centered"

Yesterday I asked my kindergartener what she did in school and she said "nothing," then later I went on Instagram and her teacher had posted a picture of her holding a crocodile.

If a 2nd grade word problem on a standardized test is written at a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, then you aren’t testing for math, you’re testing for above grade level reading. And doesn't reflect student knowledge of actual 2nd grade math curriculum.

Do you know what's worse than teachers having to crowdfund online for school supplies?

A district prohibiting teachers from publicly crowdfunding for supplies they need because it “makes the district look bad,” and therefore forcing teachers to buy the supplies themselves.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

The ADHD urge to think “there’s a better way to do this” and feel compelled to figure out that new way immediately, no matter how long it takes.

[doing things I’m bad at]
“ugh, I suck at everything”

[doing things I’m good at]
“this doesn’t count because it’s easy for me”

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

It’s pretty wild that I still believe myself when I think “I’ll take care of that later.”

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

me: I need structure and accountability to help me get stuff done.

[adds structure and accountability]

me: ew, not like that

[René Brooks | Black Girl, Lost Keys @blkgirllostkeys]

Neurotypicals be like: “I organized your kitchen for you! It works SO MUCH BETTER NOW, aren’t you grateful?!?!?”

Us, surveying the damage, knowing it will take us weeks to put shit back in a way that makes sense for us: …uh, yes. Yes, of course thank you.

Them: WELL YOU DON’T SEEM GRATEFUL!

Us: 😒😒😒😒

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

If homework feels impossible, but tests are easy (maybe even fun?), you might want to look into ADHD.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

ME to my students: If you are late to class, just enter quietly and try not to disrupt the lesson.
