@jenteach13 I have a student who has over 70 tardies in my 7th grade first hour. Talked to mom- she can’t be bothered. She has to get herself ready for work every day. Mom’s a teacher. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nobody talks about the student who missed 62 days of school. We promoted him anyway.

@Dragonflynda @TolentinoTeach Sure Lynda. Whatever you say. 😉

@Gwizzy @TolentinoTeach You are clueless how people are.

Most people who don’t work in schools can’t fully understand why teachers sometimes restrict bathroom use. From the outside, it gets framed as a “bathroom rights” issue, as if teachers are simply being unreasonable or dismissive of students’ needs. Here’s the reality: There are schools where students can use the bathroom freely with no problems. And there are schools where, if you allow unrestricted access, mayhem ensues. -Students leave for 40-minute stretches. -Student wander into other classrooms and throw water balloons. -Students vape. -Students meet each other and box in the bathroom (with gloves). -Students scream through the halls as they run past rooms. -I can go on with another 2,000 issues. What looks like a simple policy decision (from an adult's perspective) is actually quite complicated. Once again, if you are not working in a school--you probably don't get it, bruh.

@Dragonflynda @TolentinoTeach Like a teacher isn’t going to let a kid with an ostomy bag the bathroom. 🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄

It’s also quite complicated for girls having menstrual periods and end up spotting their clothes because of teachers who won’t let them use restrooms, and then don’t want to go to school during their cycles to avoid it and the humiliation. It’s also quite complicated for students with legitimate bladder and bowel conditions, even ostomy bags.

@fearnley_n @AHairyApeFUT @TolentinoTeach Lucky you.

@AHairyApeFUT @TolentinoTeach @TolentinoTeach didn't write anything in his post about females being an exception from his boldly stated opinion. No institution I have taught in or attended has ever restricted bathroom rights, other than asking one particular child if they feel able to wait a few minutes.

@JLazzarino14890 @FixingEducation They are certainly captive, but rarely captivated. Nothing interests them anymore.

@FixingEducation Does the dentist have your kid in his office with captivated attention 7 hours a day 5 days a week 9 months a year for 13 years?

When kids choose NOT to brush their teeth, should we blame the dentist? Obviously not. Why do we blame teachers when students choose NOT to complete even the most simplest of assignments?

@blueoldlady24 @FiredCoaches No amount of classroom management is going to prevent situations like this with students who are out of control.

@FiredCoaches This is what happens when you don't have effective classroom management and school discipline.

This is what happens when the teacher doesn’t have the essential question and learning targets clearly posted for students..

There should be a teacher on every school board… and at every table where education decisions are made. Because right now, we’re making policies for classrooms without the people who actually live in them. You wouldn’t design a hospital system without doctors. You wouldn’t build a plane without pilots. But in education… we leave teachers out of the room

Statement from the Nobel Foundation One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed. For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-re…

@RoKhanna They FA and FO. Womp womp.

I am hearing of hard working Americans who voted for Trump and now are being fired from their jobs with the Parks Service, with Veterans affairs, with USAID, with NIH etc. If you are a Trump voter who is being fired or has a family member being fired, please share your story.

“Teachers knew what they were getting into!” Actually, I didn’t. I didn’t know that my teacher paid for the supplies I was using in class. I didn’t know that my teacher was working extra jobs to survive. And I didn’t see all of the unpaid hours of work they did at home.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Groceries. 🙄

@JoJoFromJerz This woman is certifiable. Seriously.

Damn, Joe Biden has been in control of the government for 50 years?!? 😂😂

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

I never thought I’d say it, but I love teaching kindergarteners. (I love Mrs. Gwizdz because she teaches me how to log in the computer.) ❤️

This. It's going to take work, but we've faced challenges similar to this before. Rise up, educators.

It’s an honor to work with such great educators!

@gretchenbajorek So much fun and a great group of educators!
