@LinzDeFranco When I'm teaching... Maybe 4... A LOT more during the summer and pandemic when I didn't have to call a security guard or coworker every time I had to pee.
@PhillyD Oof... Yes! I love my kids!! But I don't need to become a parent recruiter to feel better about or justify my choice that have them. Some people cannot or should not procreate and pushing it on them is ridiculous and often cruel.
@LindzPhoto @cmclymer Same here.... as a teacher, I usually get sick so many times throughout the year...teaching was Hell this last year for so many reasons but not having a single cold or flu was wonderful! I'm trying to figure out how to teach next year with a mask.
@Squeaky32039973 @Raycub22 I don't understand criticizing someone's call for empathy and care during their hardest hours... seriously did you put two thoughts into this? They are grieving. Period. Let them grieve however they need to grieve without your yappy judgement.
Was curious about how long I had been on Twitter and scrolled down to my first tweet... It was 11 years ago today. I had mainly started the account for my business back then. I miss my jewelry making days.
@BuzzBirth @drei3543 @PhillyD Education is a partnership between students, parents, teachers, school leadership, govt. Often, teachers get blamed for failure of education when it's usually a combo of the above. Not saying there aren't bad teachers, just that they shouldn't always take on the full blame.
@drei3543 @BuzzBirth@PhillyD Your original thought was about paying teachers based on metrics. We can say what you mention above, but if the student/parent choose to fail, it's still teachers getting punished if they are graded on the metrics of failures/passes.
@BuzzBirth @drei3543 @PhillyD You have obviously not been a teacher in the last ten years. Many students and their parents expect passing grades regardless of the lack of effort. We are in a culture who now idolizes stupidity and laziness. You can't force people to learn. And no unions in my state.
