A student asked me how to make a baby. I replied that at her age the better question would be how not to make a baby. (And the idea of distracting me from teaching was killed.)

I was tired; wore a dress I didn't wear 4 a long time 2 work 4 good mood. A st. said: Ms. S, r u trying 2 catch a man in this dress? Yes,less than a year married, 6mo pregnant,tired but @ work,trying 2 finish the school year,..that's exactly why I'm wearing it. #shitmystudentssay

I expected an adjusted generic formula 4 specific solid.They asked my definition of "expanded".Among other things I said: pretend I don't know things,give me a formula where all I need 2 do is plug in numbers & be done. Well,ask & u shall receive #geometry #honors #overachievers

My students had an option to work on this yesterday 😂 #geometry #teacher #nerd #curious #riddle #fun

TSI test prep next week. A st saw these & said: that looks like fun, why can't we have projects like this in class?! My thoughts: 1. It's the same work, just in color & 1 @ a time. 2. We did have different activities every 1-2 weeks. #entertainment #highschool #geometry #teacher

Part 3. A st takes the HW paper & says: finally, easier assignment!.. What he actually said was: 1. I don't do HW. 2. I didn't read the Q. 3. I don't remember much from last week(s). 4. Less papers mean less work. 5. I need variety. 6. Four Q are better than 12, even with a, b, c

Part 2. This week I gave them 2 solids with same questions,but arranged total of 12 Q as 4 again. It is twice as much work as last week. Because of the pictures,I couldn't fit Q on 1/2 the paper,so I printed Q on one side,answer form on the other. Instead of 2 papers they have 1.

Part 1. I give HW every Mon, due Fri; 4 problems. Questions printed on a 1/2 or 1/4 of a paper; special form 4 answers (2x2 table with heading). Easy 2 print; easy 2 grade; no excuses. Last week I gave them a 3D picture of a solid with dimensions; wrote 6 Q, but arranged it as 4.

1st write up: a st was copying HW that's due 2day,in my class,from his phone (no phone policy).I told him cheating=0. St: my mom sent me a picture,I forgot HW @ home. Me: show me. He showed.The name on the picture HW wasn't his. Sometimes I wonder: do they even know how to think?

2 sts were arguing,1st called the 2nd a bitch,2nd called 1st a b**** back..That was my 3rd and 4th write up 2day. Later,1st st wanted 2 come 2 my last class 2 "catch up with work". I said: no.She said: your hormones r wild 2day. Yet, I'm not the one who cursed 2day. Who's crazy?!

Asked students to describe the difference between polyhedrons and prisms. #geometry #spelling

Made pinwheels in Geometry last week, repeated 8 times names of shapes and properties of each. 100% participation. Some sts still don't remember some names and/or properties, but use it for references when helping each other, which is pretty good!

Everybody is talking about gun control and mental health issue in relation to school shootings. But what about parents? Teenagers can't own a gun, they get it from their parents, and it parents' negligence that that happens. Why parents are off the hook again?!

Advise needed! Please read about the situation in the snapshots attached and let me know your thoughts. Also, if/how cheating is possible with 4 test versions (no identical questions), statistically & logistically speaking. #teacherproblems #mathchat #edchat #CrimeAndPunishment

A student left to a different school in December, came back in February. A friend's update: A. and P. changed schedule, not in this class anymore; we are studying circles, test next week; the teacher is pregnant. #importantstuff #priorities 😂

I'm so glad triangle unit is over!!! #hsteacher #geometry is #tired Teaching circles this week; will have a lovely discussion about circumference and secant lines next time I'll nap 😂 I bet he didn't sign up for it when he #marriedateacher 🤣

A colleague asked me if the rumor is true and I am with child?! I laughed inside, thought: I'm always with children, I'm a #schoolteacher. I'm with kids who aren't my blood, not necessarily my friends, not mine for ever, but they are mine for right now! 🤔😊

12 stations= 12 problems. 1 problem= 3 answers. 1 answer= 1 phrase. Sts were S̶o̶l̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶s̶ writing silly stories for me today. I posted problems on the wall, so my class looked like a museum with sts observing exhibits 😁 #geometryfun #Geometry #highschool

I wore very light (barely) blue top and very light pink pants. One of my students said that I wear these colors because I don't know. (Referring to my pregnancy and sex of my baby). #ShitMyStudentsSay

Same student from my last tweet was laud during the Code Yellow Lockdown. I asked him to get quiet; he didn't. I said: in that case I'll hide behind u from a shooter. He said he will take a bullet 4 me. If not for me, then for my baby. He was serious. #texasshooting #highschool
