@SouthwestAir An apology is difficult to understand when shared after the media exposes your gross negligence! Lack of care/empathy ruined our trip and continues to plague Winter Break as we navigate lost bags, missing ticket credits & resort fees since we never arrived!

On the heels of wide-scale disruptions, we're working diligently to Safely recover our operation & accommodate displaced Customers & Crews. We know this is unacceptable & sincerely apologize. If your travel was impacted, explore self-service options here: southwest.com/traveldisrupti…

w/ the corruption, lack of academic accountability and poor behavior in local public schools, Ps should have the right to allocate how their child’s tax $ are used!#SchoolChoiceWeek

@MonteSyrie By constantly passing kids on and lowing accountability colleges know they are viewing inflated grades. Ss are entering college w/ poor writing & study skills. Many colleges have to offer extra intro courses to improve Ss skills. This is why I’m for standards & not grades.

"I can't give something for nothing." I often hear this as the reason we can't pass kids who haven't done enough (anything) to pass. But the mischief in me wonders what we really believe we are "giving" kids. What is this sacred something? A grade? What's a D buy?

asked daughter the difference between #BaltCoPS /private…”info isn’t handed to you! You have to prepare, study, & earn it. Ss arrive ready, so no down time in class. Lots of essays, 4 great novels so far & sm groups where everyone contributes.” Shouldn’t every school have this?

@teachergoals 💯 Agree but sadly that’s not the case at many middle & high schools.

Do you agree? 📷 Unknown

@offgridteacher An actor uses their craft to shine light on an event,Ts guide & improve the lives of the thousands of Ss they work w/ over a career. Think about the smiles, extra help, providing food/clothing/supplies, being a listener, holiday family support, sharing knowledge & the list…

@offgridteacher Rare to be celebrated by administrators…so the greatest celebrations for me are the personal notes from Ss/Ps glued in a special 📓 & having Ss contact me about various stages in their lives😀 Makes the craziness of this job worth it!!

My boyfriend asked me what the pinnacle of success in education is. The best I could come up with is Teacher of the Year. Today an old friend won an Emmy. I’m looking at it in amazement, but also wondering.. what do I have to show for my career? How are we teachers celebrated?

@FixingEducation Learning online w/ digital Ts since there will not be Ts willing to deal w/ poor Ss & parent behavior, & extreme work load in person or online! Can hire Ts from other countries but they will not tolerate the disrespectful behavior & lack of effort🤷‍♀️ Looks like a dying profession!

According to a recent survey, 48% of teachers admitted that they had considered quitting within the last 30 days. Of that number, 34% said they were thinking about leaving the profession entirely. Where does this leave America? forbes.com/sites/markcper…

@unicornhomies @NicholasFerroni We used it for a few weeks. Then, piled it in the corner🤦‍♀️

@wendylippe5 @NicholasFerroni Plexiglass is not cheap 🤨

Every teacher seems to be returning to a completely different situation depending on where they teach, yet we are all dealing with the same situations.

@mraspinall So true but schools refuse to pivot! Rather they stick w/ the same old assembly line approach to education! We need more hands on Project Based programs that help Ss buy into their learning. Great example is #BuildUp in Alabama! So inspiring!!

When students are off task, perhaps the task is the problem not the students. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@plugusin You can have engaging lessons and still have students do what they want bc they know it doesn’t matter! The system will pass them! Ts cannot keep bowing down to meet Ss. It’s time for many Ss to get their act together & rise to the expectation.

@plugusin This policy for all Ss is what slows the learning in many public school classrooms with Ss arriving unprepared. If Ss need this to pass then I question if they are really learning or just being passed through the system like many public school Ss. Life has due dates!

@baltimoresun New York City had a testing site every few blocks set up on the sidewalk. Maryland is definitely behind on available & easily accessible testing sites!

Three new coronavirus testing sites will open in the Baltimore area this week in response to the surge in demand for swabs. bit.ly/3pICfQh

@GiftedTawk My 5th grade Ss loved creating their monuments & sharing them with the class last year! Fun activity!

Students DESIGN A MONUMENT #Jamboard to commemorate 2021. It's a FREE STEAM Jam on my linktree that I created last year! Lots of fun elements to to drag and design! linktr.ee/GiftedTawk.

@AmyVernon Smart district! Our district not so….🤔

@WonkyMagicks @BaltCoPS This is the best way to avoid bad press & deflect the responsibility.

The Dec. 30 community update includes important information regarding the Jan. 3 return for staff and students. Read the message here: bcps.org/system/news/20…

@GiftedTawk @EoinColfer Twenty-one Balloons! Love the geography, historical connections, science & STEM connections! I loved teaching this novel!!

Teachers: If you were stranded on a desert island and could only read one children’s novel over and over, which one would it be? And why is it your favorite? Mine would be #Airman by @EoinColfer

@MsValentineRMS @TeamRidgely @BarishSeth @JahriesJill @BCPS_DSCS @BCPS_OSC @sfisherBCPS @twn @BCPS_Sup So talented!

Just love this image in my #classroom! All these different ego masks, taking pride in their differences! We are all pieces of art! @TeamRidgely @BarishSeth @JahriesJill @BCPS_DSCS @BCPS_OSC @sfisherBCPS @twn @BCPS_Sup
