My son's teacher texted me very upset he had brought a copy of @StephenKing 's Cujo to class. He's 11. He loves reading. She sent me a random quote from Goodreads of all places to prove the book was too mature, violent and sexual for 5th grade. She was trying to shame me. I proudly told her I'm thrilled my son is such an enthusiastic reader, as I'm a novelist and screenwriter, and I believe there's nowhere better than books for children to learn about life. And that btw horror writers are the nicest people in the world. She sent him home with a copy of The Hunger Games....not kidding.
Teacher friends this will always warrant a repost from me. I’m old, not quite this old BUT I found one of these in a closet at Bolivia and had my own personal mimeo machine for years basically until there was no fluid left in all of Brunswick Co.Maybe early 2000s? @AngelaTait19
Anyone,besides me, old enough to remember the mimeograph machine? You got a little anxious because you were getting a test but then you got a little lightheaded from the ink fumes so you didn’t care 😃.
I feel like there’s a great story here. How much do I love the @Harry_Styles tag?! I’m retweeting, maybe just maybe it’ll get some love! Congrats @msmabe_ on TOY.
I’m not gonna lie. The only reason I oppose this is that’s gonnna be 6 months I’m gonna have to figure out how to teach on Fridays without chicken minis.
@Max1818T@NicholasFerroni Hoe is in a 7th (6th) grade Dibels progress monitor. I seriously stopped and did a hoe lesson. Y’all it’s a garden tool. Spelled H-O-E. Not anything you may hear in a rap song. So please get all your giggles out so we can get out ORF on. It’s a low scoring passage.
