Thoughts & Tweets are my own…a quality education matters!

@SouthwestAir An apology is difficult to understand when shared after the media exposes your gross negligence! Lack of care/empathy ruined our trip and continues to plague Winter Break as we navigate lost bags, missing ticket credits & resort fees since we never arrived!

w/ the corruption, lack of academic accountability and poor behavior in local public schools, Ps should have the right to allocate how their child’s tax $ are used!#SchoolChoiceWeek

@MonteSyrie By constantly passing kids on and lowing accountability colleges know they are viewing inflated grades. Ss are entering college w/ poor writing & study skills. Many colleges have to offer extra intro courses to improve Ss skills. This is why I’m for standards & not grades.

asked daughter the difference between #BaltCoPS /private…”info isn’t handed to you! You have to prepare, study, & earn it. Ss arrive ready, so no down time in class. Lots of essays, 4 great novels so far & sm groups where everyone contributes.” Shouldn’t every school have this?

[Wendy Lippe @wendylippe5]

@teachergoals 💯 Agree but sadly that’s not the case at many middle & high schools.

@offgridteacher An actor uses their craft to shine light on an event,Ts guide & improve the lives of the thousands of Ss they work w/ over a career. Think about the smiles, extra help, providing food/clothing/supplies, being a listener, holiday family support, sharing knowledge & the list…

@offgridteacher Rare to be celebrated by administrators…so the greatest celebrations for me are the personal notes from Ss/Ps glued in a special 📓 & having Ss contact me about various stages in their lives😀 Makes the craziness of this job worth it!!

@FixingEducation Learning online w/ digital Ts since there will not be Ts willing to deal w/ poor Ss & parent behavior, & extreme work load in person or online! Can hire Ts from other countries but they will not tolerate the disrespectful behavior & lack of effort🤷‍♀️ Looks like a dying profession!

@unicornhomies @NicholasFerroni We used it for a few weeks. Then, piled it in the corner🤦‍♀️

[Wendy Lippe @wendylippe5]

@mraspinall So true but schools refuse to pivot! Rather they stick w/ the same old assembly line approach to education! We need more hands on Project Based programs that help Ss buy into their learning. Great example is #BuildUp in Alabama! So inspiring!!

@plugusin You can have engaging lessons and still have students do what they want bc they know it doesn’t matter! The system will pass them! Ts cannot keep bowing down to meet Ss. It’s time for many Ss to get their act together & rise to the expectation.

[Wendy Lippe @wendylippe5]

@plugusin This policy for all Ss is what slows the learning in many public school classrooms with Ss arriving unprepared. If Ss need this to pass then I question if they are really learning or just being passed through the system like many public school Ss. Life has due dates!

@baltimoresun New York City had a testing site every few blocks set up on the sidewalk. Maryland is definitely behind on available & easily accessible testing sites!

@GiftedTawk My 5th grade Ss loved creating their monuments & sharing them with the class last year! Fun activity!

[Wendy Lippe @wendylippe5]

@AmyVernon Smart district! Our district not so….🤔

[Wendy Lippe @wendylippe5]

@WonkyMagicks @BaltCoPS This is the best way to avoid bad press & deflect the responsibility.

[Wendy Lippe @wendylippe5]

@GiftedTawk @EoinColfer Twenty-one Balloons! Love the geography, historical connections, science & STEM connections! I loved teaching this novel!!
