We always focus on how distracting cell phones are for students, but they are equally as distracting for teachers. A teacher scrolling “reels” while students are working independently instead of walking the room answering questions, is also damaging to learning.

@ldean1980 @FixingEducation Kids also play the "game." They don't put any effort in until it matters.

@FixingEducation We had to give no lower than a 60 the first two nine weeks because there was no way to recover. The last two it was whatever they earned. However, the last few years they made us let them make up anything and retest until they passed. It was ridiculous!

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

@DaCoachsBox @FixingEducation This 🙌🏻

The “No Zeros” grading system is another way to systematically make our society dumber. I’m in education and I’m totally against it. With a marginal amount of effort, you can pass most general HS education classes. Higher level is obviously tougher. However, lowering the bar with this nonsense just instills a lack of work ethic and grit.

@saratyleresl @FixingEducation ....and people who would be good teachers are not considering it as a career.

@FixingEducation This is why good teachers are leaving education all together.

@FixingEducation It is not fair to the kids who try and don't do well, ending up with a similar grade. In the career world, they won't be able to do nothing and keep their job. We are setting kids up for failure with this system.

@FaithfulSciGuy @jlpoober Truth. You can only do so much!

You shouldn't feel guilty; those sick days are a benefit. I always liked the little comments from admin when I got back... "I walked by your room yesterday and the sub was just sitting there," or "Your students didn't look engaged while you were gone, make sure you leave enough work for them to do." I've found a lot of people don't realize that teachers have to plan for their sub. In other jobs, when you call out sick, someone else just takes the shift.

I have ten sick days a year. I never use them. Not because I'm never sick. I'm sick right now. I went to school today anyway. Scratchy throat, ringing ears, eyes watering all day. Tonight I feel worse than I did this morning. Shocking. The guilt of calling out is real, and it makes zero sense. By the time you've written sub plans detailed enough for a stranger to survive your classroom, you've already done half a day of work. From your couch. While sick. Plus, you still spend the whole day worrying about what you're going to walk back into. I'm calling in tomorrow. I have ten days sitting there for exactly this reason. I already feel guilty about it.

@mbcrowley @jlpoober It isn't that easy for educators.

@jlpoober People like you spread sickness , you are selfish to go to work especially if you have time available

@jlpoober @mcguire_marline The guilt is real.

@mcguire_marline I DID stay home. My point was that education is a messed up environment when we are made to feel such guilt for taking a day off.

@jlpoober @SqueakyLamby The disrespect and lack of empathy for teachers is 🤯.

@SqueakyLamby Huh? Did I complain about being underpaid? Did I complain about long work hours? Did I say anything about the FIVE weeks I get "off" in the summer? No. I said it's messed up that we feel guilty for taking a day off when we don't feel well.

Students present three activities to Head Start staff, who select one for implementation. Students prepare and facilitate their activity at the event, gaining hands-on experience while further developing their soft skills. Key Club and former Child Development I students help us!

After being assigned a specific learning domain, students worked in groups to design developmentally appropriate activities aligned with that area. Throughout the process, they applied course concepts, creativity, and teamwork.

The Same Book Event is an annual collaboration in which Child Development I students partner with PEACE, Inc. to support early childhood learning and promote literacy. The book chosen this year was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

Let’s let bilingual students know how valuable their linguistic assets are! That is all. #language #bilinguismo #bilinguismo #bilingüismo

Last Wednesday, Emilie Felicia, MPH, a Public Health Educator at the Upstate New York Poison Center, spoke to Child Development I students about poisonings. She discussed look-alike products, strategies for preventing poisonings, and how to respond in the event of a poisoning.

@JamesMelville This is what FACS teachers do at the middle and high school levels.☺️

Basic practical life skills as part of the school curriculum. Do you agree?

@bettyboop7499 @jnicolem @j0ker937 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@jnicolem @j0ker937 We live in a fallen world! How about go over and offer assistance so momma can get some rest! We need Jesus to return!

You’re exhausted, up all night with your newborn who won’t settle. Your neighbor comes to ask you to keep your baby quiet and goes on to say that it has been 5 days, the baby should be on a routine by now and she really needs her sleep. How would you respond to her selfishness?

@thehealthb0t @amypento

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned. “Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.” Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s. So, what happened? Screens. Dr. Jared Horvath explained: “Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.” “So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).” “If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.” But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

@educator4ever36 Very true!

The teacher working like crazy all day and on weekends is getting the same pay as the teacher who sits all day behind his desk and has his students on their Chromebooks.
