I teach. Therefore I drink. And swear. I’m a sarcastic, drunken unicorn that snots rainbows. Donations welcome to fund my…whatever

Can feel like?!... No it's definitely a burden and shouldn't be.

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

@TheFIRESatoshis @TheMattViera This is not the norm. Most teachers don’t walk away with a package like this.

@CodingWCulture Studies are showing that 1-1 tech is not all it’s cracked up to be. Kids are actually under performing their parents and there’s a correlation to the use to tech. Yes, it has a place. But kids are missing some core skills that come with analogue work.

Do you know how hard it is to pluck stubborn menopausal chin hairs after consuming a bottle of wine on a Thursday night??? 10/10 do not recommend.

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

@educator4ever36 Yeah. We have close to 800 kids Prek-12.

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

@educator4ever36 You adjust. It started as 2 preps part time. Then I had as many as 4 (fulltime) when I had 7, 10, and 2 different mixed classes (11 & 12). Now I have 10 & 2 mixed classes (each 11 & 12). My high school was the same way growing up.

@brclothwrites I keep mine open as a leftover habit of wanting to hear my kids if they needed something. But I’ve been told it’s better to keep them shut as a way to help slow the spread of fire if necessary.

@Matt_Pinner Cry…not ready for the snow

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

@ThrillaRilla369 Yes. And I think that contributed to my tendency to hoard - don’t throw something you could use later.

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

I’m sorry, but there is nothing “funny” about the “Alligator Alcatraz” shirts being sold on @Etsy. And it’s gross that sellers (and buyers) think that it’s ok. Tell me you’re immune to the suffering of other without telling me you’re immune to the suffering of others.

Doing laundry. On a Sunday night. Bonus - clean sheets. Downside - I just want to go to bed but sheets are in the laundry.

Some causes of burnout

[Beth Dutton @1BethDutton]

Why does daylight savings time start at 2 a.m. on a Sunday morning, so we lose an hour of sleep?

Why not have it on a Friday at 4 pm so we can leave work early?

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

Repotted tomatoes and cucumbers this weekend. Need to repot peppers next and then start some more seeds. Do I have room for all the seedlings? No. Does that matter? Also no. Hopefully I can sell the plants when they are ready.

[Last Teacher @teacherdown]

@MidClassRepub I have a teenage son in sports, so laundry is an almost every night thing, but big projects like bedding is overwhelming. Not so much the multiple loads, but having to actually make the bed - even if I really enjoy clean sheets when I’m done.

$1500 for a used greenhouse. Not horrible and it’s local to me.

But that’s still lots of money. What would it be like to not have to think twice about spending that amount?
