@FixingEducation 4, 6, and 10. There needs to be an option for a four day school week with every Friday being a work day.

@EDSecMcMahon @POTUS Correction! You're his helper to redirect public funding to private religious schools. Public funds don't belong to private schools.

.@POTUS is the SCHOOL CHOICE PRESIDENT!  The Education Freedom Tax Credit marks a historic expansion of school choice, empowering parents to choose what education best fits their child’s needs.

@MrDanielBuck My last AP actually had the nerve to say this to us during a PD.

Telling teachers to "Remember their why" is stupid, condescending, and often a justification for poor management Next question

I am convinced you could replace every PD day with a teacher work day and it would be ten times more productive.

Dear Parents—your child doesn’t need to be the smartest in the class, the best on the field, or the most talented in the room. But they do need to be teachable. We’ve raised a generation that can Google every answer, but too many are forgetting how to listen, respect, and learn. Being teachable isn’t about grades or intelligence—it’s about humility. It’s about realizing you don’t know everything and being willing to grow when someone tries to help you. As parents, we don’t need to raise perfect kids. We need to raise kids who can take feedback without falling apart. Who can apologize. Who can show respect even when they disagree. Who can be corrected without becoming combative. Because teachability will take them further than talent ever will.

CHALLENGES THEY WANT TEACHERS TO IGNORE •Class Size •Student lacking sleep, physical exercise & proper nutrition •Parents NOT teaching discipline & respect •Thinking schools should be the solution to EVERY challenge students face •Low pay •Awful student behavior

@Lifeblood_6 @MathCurmudgeon @educator4ever36 Then by your thinking teachers are our own bosses because we also pay taxes.

@MathCurmudgeon @educator4ever36 The entity providing the service, is by definition, the opposite of the customer. Public school failed you.

It is so funny to read the responses to my post about kids taking off during the school year for a family vacation. So many telling me there’s nothing wrong with it and the kids aren’t missing anything. So many defending it as no big deal, school is such a waste of time. So many saying it’s not disruptive. If that is the case and your excuse, why in the world do you stand for your schools being so bad that it’s no big deal for your child to miss a week? The schools are that bad yet you send your children nor do anything to demand change? Some of you are so funny.

@iluvtiggers @educator4ever36

@educator4ever36 I always hated when parents did this. If you take the time to give them the work, they don’t do it because they are on vacation. If you try to catch them up, they don’t do it because they are trying to learn new stuff. Students lose no matter what.

@jeanne_darc1 @educator4ever36 She failed all three of my classes because she didn’t turn in the work I sent home. Mind you, I sent two extra sets home. Parents literally don’t care.

@educator4ever36 My school is not bad. Yes it is disruptive. No I’m not going to stress about it. There are bigger problems in schools than fighting parents on this.

@jeanne_darc1 @educator4ever36 Same, the parents don’t care some I’m not going to. They only care when their child stays failing….well the send them to school. I can’t grade what I don’t have. I have a student who has already taken two full weeks off of school & we had only been in school for 27 days!

@WakeUpPatriott E

As of today, how would you rate your level of support for President Trump? A. Very Strong Support (100%) B. Strong Support (75%) C. Moderate Support (50%) D. Limited Support (25%) E. No Support (0%)

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

@its_The_Dr E and F all day every day.

Some people may say that you need first-day vibes every day to be effective, but that's burnout. Real learning and growth come from the daily routines and the consistency that help students feel seen, safe, and supported.

@BenisonMrs What’s just as ridiculous is the amount of grammar, spelling, & reference mistakes in the @Amplify curriculum for 5th grade. It’s WILD! We’re not even in unit two yet and I can count on one hand SEVERAL mistakes I’ve found. 😑

Never forget that teachers don't get to choose the programs they use, the curriculum they follow, or how the students are grouped to receive intervention. We are often asked to "be creative" when the only effective solution is to change the program, or to rearrange groups, or to have additional staff support the children. Many teachers(experienced and new ones) get burned out because the system often asks them to do what is ineffective and sets them and their students up for failure.
