Essentially Math

@Bored_Teachers I remember teaching with the door open. Showed we had nothing to hide, there was learning going on. Also let the air circulate. One year I had a window that opened too! It was great! I loved walking down the hall and hearing the buzz in each class. Miss those days!

Never thought about it like that.

@godlywomanhood Not just the beach. The grocery store! And school! There are half-naked girls everywhere now days. Its even hard to find modest clothing for my teenage girls in stores.

Soon, women will walk around naked at the beaches. They practically do now. Take your children to the beach on cool days, or don’t take them at all. Make them wear modest bathing suits. We live in a depraved culture. God commands we be set apart and holy.

@ModestTeacher We have 7 weeks of school left and 6 high stakes tests: STAAR Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Math, then End of Year MAP Reading and Math. 7 weeks, 6 tests, NO new learning. NONE! Know what we'll do with all that data? NOTHING! Such a waste.

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Testing season. I’m glad I live in a part of the country where I get all five seasons.

@ChristineKeywo4 @godlywomanhood Love langages is a money-making bunch of baloney. Read the Bible. Look to older women in the church. Live to honor God in your marriage.

@godlywomanhood Maybe read the 5 love languages.

She needs to focus on giving her husband love, attention, and appreciation; for we reap what we sow. Don’t expect to get from your husband if you’re not giving.

@educator4ever36 @teacherinRI But then who would babysit the children for free? 😉

@teacherinRI Shorten the school day.

What would the alternative be? Try to teach while kids are screaming across the classroom?

@FixingEducation Who freakin cares. Grades mean ABSOLUTELY nothing in school anyway.

Many in education have been convinced that an “equal interval grading scale” is more fair. Under this system, a 60% = a B instead of a D. Would those who support this trend trust a doctor or pilot who scored a 60% on their final exams?

@educator4ever36 How would a school get subs for all the teachers taking off? And enough kids are absent, does the school lose funding for that day? (22 year veteran and I have no idea how funding works, haha) I would agree with only observing American Holidays.

Public school calendars need to be legislated to be religious observation free. If a break falls over a holiday, so be it. If a student needs off for observance, give them an excused absence. But all of these broken weeks are recking havoc on the school week.

@ModestTeacher And grade inflation. Can't fail the sped kids. Can't give below a 50. Can't have more than a certain percent fail your class. Can't leave a 69, 79, or 89. Grafes mean NOTHING anymore.

High school is supposed to give you a foundation of knowledge to build upon as you go through life. Far too many students have a foundation built of sand from cheating.

@deaflibertarian And kids usually went home and WORKED. On farms, at the family store, helping with siblings or grandparents, etc. They had more opportunity to burn off all that energy.

Kids' little bodies are not ready to sit still for 7+ hours a day. When they need to move, they call it ADHD and prescribe meds that affect their development. WHAT ARE WE DOING. Some may say well back then we did fine. Well back then we had 3X recess time, shorter class time, and longer lunch time!

@FixingEducation In a meeting/training, "I want to respect your time." BS! Most of it could be done in an email or online self paced learning.

Hey Educators…What word/phrase annoys you the second you hear it?

@Libertas @Principal_Jon @GregAbbott_TX

Utah has opened the door for microschools 🚪 @Principal_Jon talks about this change and how every state can follow this model 🇺🇸

@ScottPresler @RepFine Doesn't seem to matter how I feel or what I want. They play their games and do what they want and get rich doing it.

@RepFine Thank you for making this public. Americans, how does it make you feel that the Senate is going on vacation & refusing to pass legislation that 84% of you agree upon?

Looks like Leader John Thune is on his way out of town with his private escort, as the SAVE America Act gets left behind. This is very disappointing. I am willing to stay in Washington as long as it takes to get the job done.

@BehizyTweets I called the IRS to ask some questions. The United States of AMERICA IRS! Indian with a thick accent who couldn't understand me went round and round with me until I finally just hung up. Why, WHY is our own IRS using Indian men in the call center?

Why does Chase Bank still have people with heavy Indian accents answering the phone? Hasn't AI progressed far enough to replace that labor? Me: "I need to send a wire to someone, I hope it processes on Monday." Her: "Sorry, sir, it usually takes 2-3 business days for wires to process." Me: "Okay." Her: "Well, is there anything else you need help with today?" Me: "No, just that." Her: "Well, thanks for calling Chase..." (about to hang up) Me: "Wait, I still need to send the wire." Her: "Sir, I told you it takes 2-3 days to process the wire." Me: "That's okay, I still need to send the wire, I'm just hoping it processes faster." I'M TIRED.

@educator4ever36 From my principal: "This summer, all staff are going to be required to complete Youth Mental Health First Aid Training (per recent legislation)." I registered for the half day training, but I'm debating refusing to attend. I'm a math teacher, not a counselor. Thoughts?

We need to declare schools safe zones from mental health services. Sure, let counselors identify and refer, but no need for screening (can be done at Dr office or by parent referral) treatment or universal mental health activities.

@BarronTNews_ Labor Day = Holiday Memorial Day = Holiday Independence Day = Holiday ELECTION DAY SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY!!

🚨 BREAKING: Justice Sam Alito just shut it down on liberals pushing endless mail in ballots after election day. “Election day means a day.” He laid it out clearly. Labor Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, they are all single days. Same applies here. One day. One election. End of story. 🔥

@10oh3point1 @texasrunnerDFW Funny thing is teachers with high test scores (like me) make the same measly salary as those with very low test scores. Demoralizing.

@texasrunnerDFW Meh...seems appropriate. That's about the same as the percentage of students who can read at grade level. Funny thing...there is an inverse correlation between teacher salaries and student test scores.

Only 28% of US teachers say they are living comfortably on their present income This is an abject sociological failure for a wealthy country that says we value education

@614clinton @katiehobbs Oh @614clinton, sigh. Nobody is ever held accountable. She wont go to prison.

@katiehobbs Not true, the investigation has determined you & fellow dems cheated. You will end up in prison when the smoke finally clears. I'd resign if I were you.

Arizona’s elections are free and fair. Countless reviews, lawsuits, and even the Arizona Senate’s own “audit” all said the same thing.

@DeputyGrocott Ive been teaching 22 years. The way public school is structured, we are under paid babysitters.

It’s worth saying every so often: teaching is a profession. teachers are professionals.

@curtish5 @iam_preethi Until it quit pulsing for sure!

@iam_preethi I've also heard you should delay cutting the umbilical cord for several minutes until the baby is breathing fully.

My midwives never washed the white coating off my babies after birth. They told me to leave it on as long as I could. With all three kids, I delayed the first bath for about a week. That coating is called vernix. It starts forming halfway through pregnancy. It's antimicrobial, moisturizes the baby's skin, and has proteins that protect against infection. Babies born earlier tend to have more of it. Babies born later have less. The WHO recommends leaving it on for at least 6 hours, ideally 24. Yet many hospitals still bathe babies within hours of birth. Your baby spent months building that coating. Maybe don't wash it off in the first hour.

@sage_stage Being tardy to class. Drives me crazy when teachers hurry kids along and then stand in the hall, talking 5 minutes after the bell!

If teachers could get put in detention, what would it be for?
