Fixing Education

Pittsburgh Public Schools plan online learning during NFL Draft. You have got to be kidding me! cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…

7 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗢 “Teachers need to either stop complaining or quit!” 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗪 Teachers have left the profession at record rates. America is currently short 400,000+ teachers….and it’s only getting worse. NOW WHAT?

It’s OK to admit that school closures during the pandemic had serious downsides. Many kids paid the price. We should be willing to reflect and learn from it.

Common Outcomes of PBIS in Schools: •Students behave for rewards, not internal motivation. “What do I get if I behave?” becomes common. •Chronic disruptors stay in class, impacting everyone else. •Teacher exhaustion from tracking behavior, rewards, data, and meetings.

@TeachOfTheYear Or perhaps it can/will replace her 🤔

@FixingEducation The last thing we need is for the lazy teacher down the hall from me to have something make her even lazier.

AI is about to change teaching faster than most realize. It can already grade, tutor, and personalize learning in real time. Think it’s not good enough yet? It’s only a matter of time. The question isn’t if schools adapt, it’s whether they’re ready.

@JLazzarino14890 I agree, the current AI versions are not ready. But they are improving at an exponential rate

@FixingEducation Had AI grade a science test I lost my key to, thought it would be faster than making a new key, it got SO many questions wrong 😂

@OOrtizDuarte How will the teacher role change though?

@FixingEducation AI will change how quickly students learn. It won’t change what kind of people they become… that still depends on who forms them.

How do new teachers get trained by districts?

Educators…it isn’t a raise when your increased healthcare costs outweigh your salary increase. 😐

@AshleySinclair0 And yet we have the biggest teacher shortage in U.S. history 🤷‍♂️

@FixingEducation Low salaries? Teachers only work part time and part of the year. How much $ do they think they need for that?

CHALLENGES THEY WANT TEACHERS TO IGNORE •Class Size •Lack of student sleep, exercise & proper nutrition •Lack of parental involvement •Student behavioral challenges •Constant new school initiatives (wasting money on ‘the next big thing’) •Embarrassingly low salaries

What are your favorite podcasts? Looking for some new recommendations.

@bobbyqvixson One might wonder why America needs more teachers to fill open positions than at any time in its history.

@FixingEducation Embarrassing low salaries???? Teachers work 190 days of the 365 in a year. Who else gets that many days off. Let’s put some perspective into this please.

@Canuckmummy Excellent addition to the list!

@FixingEducation ATTENDANCE !

Good teachers with ungrateful districts, parents, and kids.

Samual an autistic student that can expertly replicate bird calls. This is his performance at his school talent show!

Some teachers say one party ignores K-12 public schools while the other only pretends to care about it.

Teacher: Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson! Student: Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok Administrator: Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”

@FixingEducation 50?
