The entire school year should have been a gap year filled with learning and devoid of grading. This would have been the perfect time to leave A-F grades behind and shift how we measure mastery and success. – at Chicago, IL

I miss the days when 4 hrs of work got me 2 weeks of lesson plans for multiple classes and necessary materials. Now it gets me 1 lesson for one class and the materials. Not included is the time to build it all into the LMS

Teachers who are doing a hybrid model are now doing twice the work, twice the teaching and have to spend even more $ on supplies. Name another profession that is doing twice the work they are contracted to do but not getting overtime pay?

This question will go on my first day questionnaire for them to respond to.
As part of my initial survey, I asked my ss to complete this sentence “I dislike that/when a teacher ...” 70% answered “rush me, go too fast, don’t give me enough time to think” Clear request for me to truly go slow!

Teachers are NOT “happy” that states are announcing that we will not be returning to school this year. Our summer doesn’t start sooner. In fact, we are working harder and more hours now than we would if we did go back. We just care more about our students and their health.

Ummmm....yup
So Obama knew. And Bush knew. How come none of the present day leaders had any idea? I am genuinely asking. What happened?
Has anybody checked on the copy machines at their school? I’m uncertain about a lot of things, but I am absolutely certain that they are currently jammed or need paper or toner. – at Weehawken, NJ

It is safe to say that teachers are working harder and longer hours than ever before... and I didn’t think that was even possible. Thank you.

Let’s have more A’s
Teacher impact; I would love to hear more A’s than B’s: A) “John joined a club” “John started to smile more” “John started talking about how he felt” B) “Johns progress means my residual is award winning” “I intervened, now John is only 1.5 grades from target” “Outstanding”
“We need to increase class size. Class size is irrelevant when it comes to affective teaching.” - said by NO ONE who has taught or will ever have to teach 25 or more students in one class
Bloomberg said: “Double the class size, with a better teacher, is a good deal for the students.” This is wrong. And dangerous. xitter.cf/organizetheppl/status/…

I’m tired of hearing class size doesn’t matter... •Teachers have LESS time to support students individually and build relationships •You have MORE behavior issues •You have MORE assignments, tests to check •You have MORE opportunities for enrichment activities #EdChat

Gearing up for year 3 of our scaffolded, month-long #gratitudechallenge en español. It’s been an incredibly inspiring addition. Each day is a new prompt, increasing in rigor, modeled by a different teacher on our team.I’m BEYOND grateful for them. #langchat #earlylang #TLAP #SEL – at Manhattan, NY
