You don't have to solve poverty. But if you don't even care that a kid is hungry? You have no business being in a classroom. Full stop.

I 100% love this!

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

a teacher on the last day of school had all her senior students sit on the floor for one final story time. she said, “you start kindergarten sitting on a rug… so i thought you should finish the same way.”

then she sat in a chair and read them Oh, the Places You’ll Go.

and i just kept thinking about how beautiful it is when endings are handled with that much intention.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Much of professional development in education is built on the illusion that teaching is more complicated than it truly is.

Instead of simply asking students to read, write, think, and discuss, we bury ourselves in jargon, acronyms, data charts, and endless protocols.

Teachers, if someone tells you how “lucky” you are to have summers off, remind them they don’t have to be jealous.

America is currently short more than 400,000 teachers.

They can become a teacher too.

Ask a student what their test score means to them. Then ask why we restructure entire schools for weeks to collect data from kids who finish in ten minutes and put their heads down.

So let me get this straight. According to some people, I cannot be trusted to teach my given subject in school. But, I can be trusted to have a gun at school? Do I have that correct?

Do you know who dislikes the lack of accountability for misbehaved students in schools even more than teachers?

The good kids who actually want to learn.

They’re often the ones being silently bullied, distracted, intimidated, or forced to sit in chaos every day while administrators let it continue.

When a severely misbehaved student is suspended, it’s often a relief for the students trying to do the right thing, too.

[Chris Barrick @coach_barrick_]

If a student has made the choices to fail time and time again, why do we continue to force them to graduate? Clearly they don’t want to.

You want to fix education?

Figure out how to keep the good teachers where they are.

[Jen @jenteach13]

You want to fix education?

Let teachers remove kids who make it impossible for everyone else to learn.
