Uvalde families are organizing a massive rally in Austin on August 27th to demand the age to buy an assault weapon be raised to 21 just like we did in Florida after the Parkland shooting.

It is not our responsibility as workers to do more because they're aren't enough people employed to cover absences and extraordinary events. Everytime we "do it for the kids" and "be a team player" we enable the folks in power to keep us understaffed, underpaid, and unsafe. #WV

I am at my most patriotic when I’m in a public library.
When I remember that we let people borrow books for free, have public access to the internet, and participate in extracurricular learning opportunities, it’s one of the few times I want to shout, “I love America!”

Teach your child to be a good friend, because some people don’t go home to love.

Educators... if you get a parent who seems a little "extra" when it comes to advocating for their child with an IEP this Fall. Please don't take it personally.
It's not you. It's parents who have been told they have to advocate or fail their child.

The “just teach” crowd has no idea what teachers actually do, because, if they did, they would know that schools would not be able to function if all teachers did was just teach.

When I was born in the early 90’s & diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, reaching adulthood wasn’t guaranteed. Today I turn 30 an age I’ve dreamed of reaching. This wouldn’t have been possible without the endless support of my medical teams, parents and my donor. I’m so so happy! 💛💫

Dear new teacher,
You do not need a teacher tiktok, IG, and Twitter. You do not need to open a TPT store. You do not need a specialized handshake for each student or a song and dance for each lesson.+

Note to self: If I want my students to advance and succeed, stop moving the finish line so darn quickly. In fact, put a yield sign on their path. Everyone deserves the chance to walk at their own pace. #maestrareed #equitable

When your response to teachers leaving the profession is to make it easier to become a teacher but not stay a teacher, you’re part of the reason why teachers are leaving in the first place.

I would love to make a thread of all of the teacher discounts for back-to-school.
Feel free to share any businesses that have discounts for teachers and any links/codes that are offering teachers discounts. #backtoschool #teacherdiscounts #teachers

I keep thinking about this Fred Rogers quote: “I believe that appreciation is a holy thing, that when we look for what’s best in the person, we’re doing what God does; so in appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something truly sacred.”

I can't believe I have to say this:
If you don't invest more into retaining
current teachers instead of recruiting
new teachers- the "new" teachers will eventually leave, too.

When I graduated high school my mama went to a rent-to-own store and got a computer so I could go to college with a laptop. Over the course of her payments she ended up paying $2400 for a $700 laptop. Being poor is expensive & college isn’t the equalizer we think it is.

Airlines may offer you points or miles as compensation for a canceled flight. When deciding whether to accept (miles are worth about 1-2 cents), remember that my department enforces a REQUIREMENT that they offer cash refunds when you can't travel due to a cancellation.

My daughter asked if she could have a readover instead of a sleepover. Where friends come over and you just read for hours. And now I want one too.

Other districts take note: our superintendent just awarded all teachers 45 hours of PD to recognize the work and learning we've done over the last 2.5 years. It's been a tough year and I appreciate this tangible act of gratitude so much, thank you #fwsu!
