Grand Oak Elementary

This! 🙌

As schools gear up to start another school year, this is a hill I’m willing to die on. Do your research. There are so many better behavior deterrent alternatives for kids. #recess #kids #students #education #leadership

@DrMSlota @Biss32 So mad that I missed this!!

After 31 years, this guy is retiring! He deserves it! Congrats Jeff! Glad @Biss32 and I got the invite from AP Hosse to be apart of a such a GREAT surprise retirement parade! Enjoy it!

As a rule of thumb, kids like the teachers who really like them. So it’s kind of important to like the kids.

Teachers should never underestimate the value of “smiley faces” on kids’ papers. The age of the student doesn’t matter.
