@MonteSyrie Truth! Work is my happy place. (I'm a shop teacher, so there's that!)

@rebelEducator You do know the difference between tuition and expenses, right? You're comparing apples to caviar.

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@pdxalerts I don't know... maybe just open up a fire hose?

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@fotis_michael Better yet, grade students the way we grade athletes. We'd all bend over backwards making sure they got the grade!

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@ModestTeacher "I'm glad you're here" goes a long way.

I also require a conference with the student and another adult after 5 absences. Nothing serious. I just need another grown up to look you in the eye and say the same thing I just said twenty times. "Be here!"

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@JayWamsted Do you ever just put all of the high fliers together in one group so the rest can get a break?

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@JasonAblin Yes. When students say, "I'm done," I reply, "I'm not," and keep writing. After recovering from a brief tailspin, many will watch me write and dig back in with something new.

@RexChapman We will not be sheep. We will not be masked!

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@mmpadellan So.... Masks are back in now? I cannot keep up with these medical/fashion trends.

@bmgilland @mrbgilson Well dang. Gotta rethink this one. Smart Twitter strikes back!

@PicturesFoIder Pumped up kicks.

@thedad @dadmann_walking In my family, this is known as FOBI- Fear Of Being Included.

@Mr_Charles20 Tell me you don't teach in a high need school without telling me you don't teach in a high needs school.

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@Mr_Charles20 I will guide them to be...

I will inspire them to be...

I will prod them to be...

I will challenge them to be...

I will even double dog dare them to be...

If they're not there they're not there. You can punish, complain, or find a way to solve the problem.

@MonteSyrie Shop teacher here. Gatekeeping is a bit of a necessity because... fingers. However, I don't grade safety tests. They merely have to be mastered before using a tool. Retakes, notes, and peer help are okay.

Sometimes gatekeeping is a thing.

@jesseylynne Teaching for 27 years with 200 current students and I can say that most of the kids I talk to will say they have some form of phone addiction or nomophobia, even if not by name.

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@jesseylynne I discovered that when I ask kids what they are doing on their phones without a punitive response, they give an honest answer. Then I challenge them to control their use. It's a slow process, but most are aware of their addiction.

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@jesseylynne This is so hard to track...

[Erich Schneider @UniCacher]

@PortlandPolice Good dog!

@EDUwithEmily Sometimes I whisper instructions to my class and include shortcuts. Kinda like the April fools test we've all given.
