A problem in education is teachers are the front line on mental health, family, poverty issues and so much more. The idea that teachers just 'teach' is over. The line between teaching and social work, or mental health is blurring. Yet teachers cannot solve societal issues.

Our modern system of k-12 education is built on the premise that educators will willingly perform many hours of unpaid labor.

With much respect to my colleagues who are grading papers and planning lessons this weekend, we need to quit enabling it. #nced

I will never understand the animosity over COVID booster shots and vaccines in general. Vaccines may have alleviated more human suffering than any other invention. So to all those denigrating science and medicine please get a life. And I mean that literally.

Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids. Let kids be kids.

The most important advice a teacher can hear is that they have to leave their work in the building.

It doesn't matter how many students you have. It doesn't matter how much planning time they give you.

If you don't leave it at school the system will eat you alive.

word nerd here: 1 idea is not calling it loan forgiveness, which implies the borrower made a mistake. the mistake is holding education for ransom. it's the govt and lenders who should ask forgiveness. we could call what's happening now loan rectification maybe.
if not no worries

It’s usually the people that tell you to just work harder that had a head start from birth

[Paul Emerich France, #MakeTeachingSustainable @SustainTeaching]

One of my favorite things to ask kids is "Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?"

I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think--and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.

The “just teach” crowd has no idea what teachers actually do, because, if they did, they would know that schools would not be able to function if all teachers did was just teach.
