Student teachers shouldn’t have to go broke to get into a profession that’s already underpaid. That, too, is an equity issue.

@BearOfGinger but it will taste of victory! i’ve grown 3 this way-

@EDUwithEmily the struggle is real

I put 18 new crayons in each table’s bin today. After 7 classes, the results are in: Table 1: no crayons remain Table 2: 9 full crayons and 2 broken ones remain Table 3: 7 crayons remain Table 4: no crayons remain Table 5: 14 mostly broken crayons remain

@Slaid_Jim this looks good

I would recommend this book to anyone- leaders, teachers, professionals, etc. #feedback #leadership #edchat #EdLeaders

@DrJenGunter this wild to read and depressing that the US has lawsuits actively trying to end any pill based health care for pregnancy

Can anyone outside of the US tell me what you pay for a pack of Plan B or ella for emergency contraception?

@anaycj love it

@AndrewMBlake @DrJenGunter so freakin true

@ESMathTeacher i edit every assignment every year - always

So, like. Do y’all teachers recycle your old materials as is? Honestly. Do you edit it or print it out from last year?

@BearOfGinger We have 0 cats rn and this is my worry if I go looking 😂

@mossMatters Love it

Now that’s an accent wall! Finally got around to hanging our canvas prints of herbarium images from the TTC herbarium and they look great!

@ESMathTeacher Never

You’re never really done organizing your house, are you… 😩

While humanity fights among itself roaches are out here preparing for their excursion into an underwater world to ensure the survival of their species.

This is awesome

An animal (besides a dog) you've been chased by

@Blackmudpuppy Find a local mushroom group - also there are some great apps and of course mushroom guides

@ESMathTeacher Nearly every break- but I do a lot of project based learning that the. Requires clean up and organizing

Classroom teachers, how often do you clean your room? Like dust surfaces and/or organize your stuff.

@nickysmithster @OsmosisReads They do!!!!

@OsmosisReads Can't promise it'll be any less rage-making than *waves at the world* but Reveal does some absolutely amazing deep-dive news stories revealnews.org/podcast/

@OsmosisReads This is a three parter, so it's long, but learning about the racism behind the radicalization of the NRA was eye opening. Having trouble sharing the link where it makes a picture. Podcast: Behind the Bastards. Episodes about Harlon Carter pca.st/episode/0f3573…

@OsmosisReads 99% invisible episode on Freedom house

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.
