I'm just going to shout it into the void:
There is not a teacher shortage.
There is a SALARY SHORTAGE.
There is a WORK AND LIFE BALANCE SHORTAGE.
There is an EMPATHY SHORTAGE.
There is a BEING TREATED LIKE A PROFESSIONAL ADULT shortage.
I said what I said.
It's always a great day to be a Yellowjacket! And yesterday was an incredibly great day. It was an honor to have so many students, teachers and administrators spend their lunch together! #CenterSD#CHSBSU
Leader for Equity @ChambersAlec, hosting BSU poetry slam during lunch. Definitely not confining Black History Month to February. The BSU is ongoing for CHS scholars. #proudsupt
One more day before kids arrive. One more day to try to get ahead of lesson plans. One more day to prep for the unknown. *deep breaths* #CSDProud#CSDStrong
I just sent a message to the parents of my advisory students. Teachers - this is a major challenge for us. Teaching right now feels unfair. Never forget we're teaching humans. Empathy for all is the order of the day. #CSDStrong#CSDProud
First major session on curriculum and instruction for the school year. Anyone who thinks this is gonna be easy for teachers needs to come hang for a day. Woof...#CSDStrong#CSDProud
So stoked to have Center grad David McDonald (ā14) back to CHS to speak with my freshman classes about work ethic, the importance of history and the difference between education and school. #CenterStrong#CenterSD
