4. Teachers Unions are simultaneously the solution and problem Im a member of the union & love my union. However they also shield the worst in our profession. The ones you have to cover for every single day bc they just don’t care & know they can’t be fired. It’s frustrating

5. (Lastly) Education is fixable. Pay teachers livable wages, incentivize majoring in edu, eliminate useless spending on tests, absent positions, & too many online interventions. Teach new parents to parent, return to stricter decorum for students etc Piece of cake right?! 😅

2. Schools test too much (surprise!)… For ex: if you were a G1 ESOL student, you sat through 8 separate tests in the last 3 weeks for between 12-15 hours total. They are 6 years old. That can barely read, & some dont speak English….wth are we doing?

3. Tada —> DATA… Its all that matters. Not that its reliable, or semi reliable, or even close to being realistic. Doesnt matter if its collected in a quiet classroom, a house w/ a mouse or a box w/ a fox Just get it so a rich some1 in an office somewhere can make a decision

1. Dept of Eds will highlight every reason your school is failing, except one - staff vacancies…they avoid it like a water fountain in the pandemic Like no, we’re 70% staffed with no subs. Do the math & tell me how many SPED/ESOL being serviced or how real instruction happens

Got a new principal. One with a shared vision, so I’ve taken on more admin responsibilities this year due to staff vacancies. Also taking on leadership roles in every aspect - testing, technology, scheduling, school imprv etc And this is what Ive noticed from behind the curtain

If you’re sharing an Amazon #wishlist this summer, don’t forget to tag your local representatives. They’re not exempt from our digital panhandling

In conversations with two different podcasts @Unpropodcast and @Edu_Chaos, I shared my story and got closure for my experience. I continued to grow and connect with other education professionals on social media and took my #TpT to the next level.

**NSFW (language)** It’s not just Chicago. This teacher forced to instruct 20 other students around a traumatic meltdown is so relatable.

Admin: can you cover 8th grade piano class this afternoon? Me: hell yeah, im a modern day Jerry Lee Lewis! Admin: 👀 me: bad example 😅😅 **walks away awkwardly**

💯😅
Please remember that your lessons should reflect DOK levels 3 and 4. Also, students are complaining that your lessons are too difficult, so I need you to modify your lessons to be DOK 1 and 2, which I'll ding you on your eval for not being at levels 3 and 4.

If we had #ThanksgivingClapBacks for teachers, what would y’all say to your colleagues?

The data is trash That’s it. That’s the tweet
Tomorrow is alma mater day. Staff will be repping their college, frat/sorority. I will be organizing boxing matches for beefing staff on the black top at 3:30 sharp. $5 for grass seating, $8 for ringside. Proceeds go to the xmas party bar tab.
