I returned to this app because of a desire to network with educators outside of my community. What I’ve found is that since deactivating my other account, this app has become a cesspool of racism and misogyny 😔 logging off for good

No wearing white after Labor Day

@hzjoe03 People read the name Homer and thought American….. like are they thinking Simpson?!

@girlyaoicocaine I would’ve said “to YOU”

said happy holidays to an old woman and she said “it’s merry christmas actually” when i was at work yesterday

@NobleQAli @RyjitaRose Not to mention the “Dirty War” kidnapping of millions of children

Feels a little too convenient that an odyssey would happen to a guy named Odysseus

@The_Irishman_30 @Rothmus $40 cell phone where??? Even Walmart straight talk is $50

@Rothmus No Melennial is donating $600 a month and there is no housekeeper cleaning your apartment for less than $100. All these are bogus. Internet $40? Maybe in 1998!

🤣🤣

@Hezbolsonaro @duns_sc0tus I teach about it, and a myriad of other cultural holidays, in my class. But not every teacher in my school does

@duns_sc0tus Do kids not learn about it in school anymore

Does anyone know what Kwanzaa was EVERYWHERE in the late 90s/early 00s in school curricula? When I was a kid it was presented as the third winter holiday after Christmas and Hanukkah. Like, when I was very young I thought that Kwanzaa was the religion that black people followed.

@Didilifestyle Anyone says that if you’re that cool you “don’t need an invite” has obviously never been to a wedding. You absolutely need a direct invite so you have a place to sit, and food, etc.

A VERY close high school friend of mine didn’t invite me to his wedding earlier this year. It was so weird everyone at the wedding kept calling and asking if I’m late… He called me two weeks ago and I ignored his call. ✨

I don’t think I want a new year this time around, I want a gently used year like a 2015 or maybe a 1998 if it’s in good shape idk

@Jordan2Weber @MrCScholz There was an aide in my room last year who, while I was explaining that there are 50 stars on the flag to denote the 50 states, interrupted me to argue that there are 52 states 🤦🏼‍♀️

@MrCScholz 8th grade. Never thought I would have to teach students how many states we have in the country. But I get a lot of students who have no idea

This could be a fun / interesting question for all teachers out there. State your grade level and something that you never thought you’d have to teach students but find that, in recent years, you now have to teach multiple students in your class/classes.

@MrCScholz K-4 English as a new language (yes I know this means my Ss situations are a bit different than most) but every year I have to teach/review, with EVERY level, the difference between a word/sentence/paragraph. A deficit regardless of primary language or experience.

@TreetopPolyglot @MrCScholz The tech class in my school is just playing games. T doesn’t teach how to do an appropriate search, typing, or even how to log into the computer with their username/password. She expects classroom teachers to do it.

@MrCScholz High school. How to use a computer. I assumed when I started the removal of cursive was replaced with typing and computer literacy. Boy, was I wrong.

@MrCScholz This!!!!

I’ll start. I teach 5th grade, and I never in a million years thought I’d need to teach 10/11 year olds how to find the top and front side of a piece of notebook paper. I have multiple Ss that have their paper in their binder upside down and just write on it like it’s nothing.

PLEASE go out, have fun, have friends, make connections, that mysterious lifestyle won’t save you.

@FavoriteTeach11 Agree with everything except school choice initiatives. If you want your child to go to private school, you’ve always had that choice- you just need to pay for it on your own. Tax dollars have no business in private or religious schools period

-The No Child Left Behind Act was ineffective. -The FCAT failed to achieve its intended goals. -Parents not taking an active role in their child’s education is a significant issue. -Parents neglecting to read to their children hinders early literacy development. -The Department of Education has proven to be a failure. Suggestions for improvement: Reinstate the retention of students who are not academically prepared to advance. Enforce stricter discipline policies, including expulsion for students who are disruptive and uncontrollable. Revive reading campaigns and implement incentives to encourage literacy. Expand school choice to provide families with more educational options.

@Cryptoking @elonmusk Yes, it will. But it will cut into profits

@elonmusk What is the problem with population decline? The earth’s resources are already stressed. Climate change is plaguing many nations. Won’t less people make the earth a healthier place? Like animals having too many rabbits or too many grizzlies becomes over populated.

Japan and many other countries face population collapse

@gerardovalles @DreamLeaf5 Um yeah that’s because they are children. Of course they are childish??

@DreamLeaf5 has anyone talked to a 15 to 17 years old girl? haha they're pretty childish, I'm not even talking about power dynamics here but girls (and boys, IDK, IDC) are really dumb before 25 and some never grow out of it.

It’s crazy how being openly pedophilic is just completely normalized amongst Groypers

@DreamLeaf5 Yeah those aren’t women, half of this chart is referencing CHILDREN. Girls.

Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.
