@FixingEducation No teacher should be compelled to enter a certain grade. That said, if you 0 zero a kid the entire quarter, they have no chance of recovery. From a child's view, with no chance of recovery, why would I every try again? An F is an F. The difference is one gives a chance.

Zero work = 50% 🤔 A Florida teacher said no and was fired. Agree or disagree?

Yes, we should be teaching the same thing to everyone at the same time. That’s called standards and curriculum. We should not be promising to meet individualized needs in a classroom with 25 or 30 students and one teacher.

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

I am so tired of budget emails that say we are cutting teachers when central office is flush with staff. Let’s re-establish basic priorities of public education.

Want to know how amazing educators are? Let me introduce you to Kirk Moore. An Oklahoma principal who laid a tackle on an armed gunman inside his school. He risked his own life for his kids and staff. He went right at him. Got shot in the leg… and still took him down. Every student and staff member went home safe. Before you criticize public education, remember who’s inside those buildings every day. People protecting other people’s kids. This man is a HERO.

@DrBradJohnson Want to fix the problem, hold parents accountable via fines and/or, now they have to pay to send a kid to a different school, maybe even have them pay for anger management or parenting classes that they must attend.

If a student assaults a teacher or staff member, they’re out of school for a year. Kentucky got this one right. There’s a difference between behavior issues… and assault. We’re all for second chances. Third chances. That’s part of working with kids. But there’s a line. And when a student in grades 6–12 crosses that line into physically assaulting a teacher or staff member, the response has to match the act. This isn’t about being harsh. It’s about keeping people safe. Safety doesn’t just matter. In today’s world, it matters the most. You can’t build a culture of trust and respect if the adults in the building aren’t protected. What Kentucky did matters. They said: This is where the line is. And if it’s crossed, there is a real consequence. And let’s be honest… This should’ve happened 10 years ago. This doesn’t mean a child’s education ends. We have online school. We have alternative placements. There are still options. But you don’t get to assault someone and come back like nothing happened. If we want great teachers to stay, if we want schools where people feel safe, we have to stop blurring the line between misbehavior and violence. Kentucky drew the line. Now the rest of the country needs to follow.

@FixingEducation Why are all of the ‘experts’ in education people who have little to no time in the classroom? And why do school districts continue to dump money into these hacks?

One of the biggest issues in education: The people making decisions about what’s best for students aren’t teachers. Teachers often aren’t even asked. And neither are students or parents.

Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”
Every effort in pursuit of the fuzzy ideal to "meet students where they are" has always lowered expectations and resulted in worse academic outcomes Set a high ideal, demand that students meet it, and they will Provide excuses and they'll take them

Schools exist to support families, not replace parents. That means parents need to actually parent, and the govt & communities need to stop treating schools as the fix for bad parenting. If you’re an educator who thinks otherwise, you’ve watched too many teacher hero movies.

@MrDanielBuck Can you look up any fact from a cell phone? Yes, but memorizing allows the brain to process information and interpret information to be a better thinker, and therefore a better learner.

@DanaPalubiak And often times work for administrators that have little to no classroom experience and therefore no practical knowledge of how to support their teachers

Teachers don't quit because they don't care. They quit because they're asked to do the work of five professionals for the pay of less than one. And then they're told they didn't do enough.
