“Controversial” things I did in my classroom this year that worked: -I let students retake any quiz/test on which they scored less than 80%. -I offered one extra-credit HW assignment each week. -I stuck to a late-work policy. -I didn’t write any office referrals.

@jandersonburgos @OccupyDemocrats We pull a diploma, and the student gets it after meeting with the principal. I agree that kids shouldn’t be punished for what their families do, but I disagree with letting kids dance across the stage for the reasons I already mentioned. And they were warned beforehand.

@AmyDecker_OG @OccupyDemocrats The work put in during classes for years is what earns a student their diploma. The notion that anyone would try to negate all of that because of a single act of celebration is outrageous.

BREAKING: A Philadelphia high school principal denies a diploma to a Muslim student who did a quick dance as she walked on stage to receive her diploma at her graduation. But that’s not the worst part… It all started when the 17-year-old student, Hafsah Abdur-Rahman, strutted across the stage to get her diploma, and she did a small dance in honor of her sister, who was recently murdered when she was only 14. When she danced, some students and parents in the audience laughed, prompting the principal to deny the girl her diploma and “extend an arm implying she should return to her seat. The principal then dropped the diploma in a basket on the ground beside her,” leaving the girl “embarrassed.” The worst part is that the principal and the school have refused to give the Muslim girl her diploma at all — even after the graduation ceremony. The school district has launched an investigation into the incident and release a statement saying they it doesn’t “condone” the principal’s actions. You can watch the full video of thee incident on Tribel HERE: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the principal MUST be fired — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.3 million raised from 3,100 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what may be the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, wefunder.com/Tribel, and here is the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

It’s true that I’ve had a rough year, but this group reminded me of why I love teaching! I’m proud that they’re moving on to bigger and better things, but I’m going to miss them so much!

@KayeEllen17 Sending love and prayers to you ❤️❤️❤️

Molly has been called home to G-d. While our hearts are broken in a way that feels like they can never be mended, we take comfort knowing thar Molly’s twelve years were filled with love and joy. We are immensely blessed to be her parents.

After having been locked out of my account forever, I’m finally back in!!

@raanahibbs @SlidesManiaSM Thanks for sharing!

"Because concepts of race, culture, and identity are complex and deeply personal, they often bring feelings of discomfort," says educator @sheldoneakins. "Whether we address them in class or not, our students are thinking and talking about these issues." s3.amazonaws.com/teacher2teache…

White women: please keep this “I want to speak to the manager energy” about the police. You were told by AppleCare that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness applied to all people, and no, you would not like to be placed on hold.

I've said this before, but for all the people who believe you definitely would have been abolitionists in the era of slavery, who you are today is who you would have been then. You don't need to imagine scenarios of living in the 19th century, there's work to do here and now.

@chaeIerose I promise it won’t make a difference!

@Jacobacooper It’s easy to be a good teacher when I have such awesome students! ❤️ Thank you, Jacob!
