Teachers Saying Things

Teaching attracts its share of blowhards. This is a collection of vapid eduspeak by teachers saying things rather than doing anything significant.

Considering Edison wasn't above inflicting pain on living things to achieve his ends, this is appropriate.

[DR. TOM LOUD @loudlearning]

I'd love to see a school put this quote on the wall!

@TsSayingThings Why are you so mean SHE’S SURFACING IDEAS

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

@RobertBoxtin @ddmeyer I am very anxious to see any replies to this thread of questions

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

@ZingerLearns @Sisyphus38 Must be. 😀

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

How is this getting so little reaction? A DOUG LEMOV book plate people! Certainly it must be because you believe it too good to be true.

Who doesn't want a sticker denoting ownership of a book with someone else's name on it? Especially DOUG LEMOV's???

@Sisyphus38 I just can't believe no one wants a sticker to ruin the inside of their book that keeps them from ruining the inside of their book with a pen. SIGNED BY DOUG LEMOV!!!

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

Maybe some of you don't know what a book plate is. It's SO MUCH MORE then just a sticker you put on the inside of a book. Because you can also write on it.

It works so much better if you have a DOUG LEMOV BOOK PLATE! Why don't you have one already?

“The Chat” is one of the best tools for building dynamic, active & inclusive learning environments online.

Check out these video clips of Shelby & Mika using The Chat to make students feel seen & heard!

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

But does she have a DOUG LEMOV BOOK PLATE???

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

Her tone is lovely; so sincere and engaged: “Can you drop your answer in the chat? I’m really curious to see what you’re thinking cause this is so different from how we celebrate birthdays in our community,” she says.

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

When Jesus said; “Love your neighbor”, He KNEW your neighbor would be:

Black
White
Straight
Gay
Republican
Democrat
Conservative
Liberal
Christian
Jew
Like you... And completely different

And what He meant was;

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR!Period. End of story!#loveyourneighbor 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

For example, online students never get the experience of smelling their teachers' lunch as they get screamed at for not pissing on schedule.

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

Part of this is because online will never do what classrooms do. But part of it also has to do with us getting better day by day at the instructional tools we have and the quality of our execution. We've got to be committed to this new craft.

A major in education includes a minor in n bullshitting.

If you have to announce it it means you're not doing it.

I’m taking a break from SM for a while. I’m just sort of done right now. ✌️

If only he went to school, he would know all of this. Wait...

1. You don't understand salaries
2. You don't understand pedagogy
3. You don't understand taxes
4. You don't understand calendars
5. You don't understand pandemics
6. You don't understand that you are TA, but you should. Because YOU, and I cannot stress this enough, are TA

Fuck them kids!

And it usually includes something about giving plenty of grace to students but none to teachers.

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

Managing people's behavior by being nice to them is literally what serial killers do to bring people into their web.

[Evan Robb @ERobbPrincipal]

I asked a teacher what’s the best class management strategy for remote learning. Got an inspiring response....Liking students and believing in them is were you gotta start.

[Teachers Saying Things @TsSayingThings]

So now we see you knew they were tables to be turned to turn about as fair play those tables

[Censored Head NPQEL 🙋‍♂️ 🇺🇦💛💙 @CensoredHead]

Just had a lovely "we are disappointed and this what the school could do better" letter sent to my Chair of governors from a family who decided to pull their child our because I followed government guidance.

I've had enough.

How to tell if you’ve been indoctrinated into a cult against your will:

If only we could detain them against their will in person like the good old days.

My kid got kicked out of his zoom and left in a virtual waiting room for turning his camera off during music class.

It’s like the 2020 version of 1984.

I wonder if next they’ll have him sharpen his stylus during recess. Or bang the delete key.
