Three days is how long it takes me to be comfortable with new people in Vegas to the point I can get plastered with them at Brunch in Vegas. The $45 bottomless mimosa with brunch may have played a role.
Did I mention that I'm in Vegas? #personal_growth #wifemademe

If you hold a pencil drawing up to a Van de Graaff generator, the discharge travels through the graphite on its way to ground!
Most *shocking* discovery of 2023 for me so far 😏⚡️

If teachers have short days, summers off, fantastic wages, gold plated benefits/pension, and amazing working conditions, why is there a shortage? The rhetoric doesn't match reality. #onted

It's difficult to like people who constantly physically and verbally abuse you, even if they happen to be under the age of 18. Idk why the fuck we're expected to grin and bear it just because we're teachers. Sometimes, it's absolutely the kids. #teacherresignation

Teacher in my PLC: We shouldn't be counting the notes as a grade because that's just a formative grade and is just measuring compliance.
Same teacher shares a lesson with the group that includes a small grade for the check in question of "what did you do last weekend?"

I wish school admins would stop thinking that every classroom visit should be followed up with written improvement area for the teacher. Why can’t a classroom visit just be a visit?

Teachers should not have to work well beyond contracted hours (unpaid) just to get things done. Then we wonder why there is a 50% attrition every 5 years. This year will be off the charts if we don’t change expectations. We need state and district leaders to step up for teachers.
