Teaching is about human interaction. We can't treat kids like they are commodities or just pieces of data. @Mathgarden

"When teachers have inadequate time and too much to do, something has to give — and it’s often relationship-building that falls to the wayside." - @jay_schroder @K12DiveNews
Relationships matter in education, so why aren’t we better at prioritizing them?

I’m amazed at teacher contracts…specifically what little time (prep) is provided for teachers to actually get stuff done.
If teachers ONLY worked contractual hours, 90% of the needed work wouldn’t happen even for the most efficient ones. 🤔
And don’t even get me started with the time provided for lunch.

Jeans everyday.
Having teachers pay to wear them on a special day is insult to injury.
If it's okay one day a week. It's okay all the time. We teach kids, jeans are appropriate attire.
Asking teachers to pay for the "privilege" when they are underpaid has to be the most ridiculous thing ever.

Trauma shows up in culture as:
1. An excessive focus on achievement and external appearance.
2. Parenting as an insignificant and overlooked role.
3. Ignoring issues like financial insecurity, chronic stress, and loneliness as a root cause of disorders.
4. Urgency: an obsession with being responsive or "on" 24/7.
5. Viewing natural human emotions as a disorder or something to suppress.
6. A fixation on what other people think of us, rather than how we actually feel.
7. Mental health treatments that focus on getting a person to adapt to an unhealthy environment, rather than changing the environment itself.
7. Normalized chronic relationship dysfunction, betrayal, and deception.
8. Systems built around competition, exclusion, and divisiveness.
9. Exhaustion and burnout as something that's normal to get over.
10. Rampant addiction: substances used to numb and dissociate from life as we know it.

Good classroom management is mostly invisible.
While outbursts are inevitable, experienced teachers know subtle techniques that work behind the scenes are the real key to creating a positive classroom culture. 🗝️
