@TolentinoTeach I also experience this with my 5th graders. I call them out on it. I am a stickler for capitalization of proper nouns, and if anything, they leave me with at least that. Baby steps. These kids are different.
@TolentinoTeach My 5th graders this year were in Kinder during Covid - masked up, with teachers masked up. To think this didn’t have an effect on them is crazy. Having taught this grade over 13 years, they are clearly different: attention & processing issues at another level.
If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student.
The students have changed.
Teaching has changed.
You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.
@alt_w_v_g As a 25-yr veteran educator, I salute you, sir! 👏👏 Sadly, our schools are no longer student-centered. They are data-driven. This is a great example. I want to educate, not proctor. I want to peak their curiosity , not stomp on it. I would be 🙌 you! 💯
@DrBradJohnson Unfortunately, I agree 😔 Trying to keep the spark in my classroom has become more and more challenging as the years go on. At 25 years in, I feel like everything is data-driven and not student-centered. I am glad I am at the end of this career, but I am sad for our future.
Teacher retention isn’t complicated:
If you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best.
People rarely walk away from a place where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and trusted as professionals.
Puerto Rico desde el espacio 🇵🇷���️
Hoy a las 2:30 p.m., la ISS sobrevoló nuestra isla, regalándonos una vista espectacular desde el espacio.
En el video se puede apreciar con claridad la Isla Grande así como también Vieques y Culebra.
¡Una postal que nos llena de orgullo!
Puerto Rico’s failing electric grid is a humanitarian crisis—one that will only worsen during the summer months, when electricity demand reaches its peak.
The three million American citizens of Puerto Rico have long been denied affordable and reliable electricity—despite paying some of the highest utility rates in the United States. Access to dependable power—a basic right most Americans take for granted—remains out of reach for millions on the island.
As we speak, more than 400,000 Puerto Ricans are without electricity in the wealthiest nation on Earth. That is a national disgrace.

Once again, a massive blackout in Puerto Rico. The whole island is without power. It’s frustrating how this keeps happening like we’re stuck in an endless cycle. We deserve better. This isn’t just inconvenient, it’s our daily reality🫥 #apagón#puertorico 🇵🇷 Puñeta estoy harta
George Carlin broke it down as to why they want an uneducated populace.
We need the Department of Education and people on this app continually speaking and voting against their own self interests keeps reinforcing why we need the DoE.
