People who aren’t in education, don’t realize what teachers go through every day… every week. I assure you… they have EARNED this weekend!

Millions of students showed up to give their best effort on the #STAAR test today. One would think since @teainfo chose to push forward w/ this multi-million $ test they would’ve been prepared. They were not, then promptly blamed someone else. So much for accountability.

Today’s wondering, how much instructional time will students continue to miss waiting to complete one 4-hour Writing ✍️ assessment??? #mathchat #elachat #finearts #advancedacademics #SocialSciences are equally important!!!

Let's all take STAAR online this year! Sounds like a great idea until none of the kids across the state are able to log in! Maybe we should give the test providers an accountability rating. A-F... 🤔 #STAAR

Could not be more proud of these 3 girls for being in the top 5 for points earned for their House! They are all so kind, hard working and amazing! They are so deserving of this honor and I have loved being one of their teachers this year! #smithleopards #integritas #quantam
