Most Teachers will tell you right now that they love Teaching they just hate being a Teacher at the moment. Pointless meetings, micromanaging, lack of support, lack of accountability, salary that doesn’t keep up with cost of living and unpaid labor (lesson plans and grading).

My heart is broken. He was a third grader in the class next door to me when I was at PES but he really was all of our “student” when he was in third grade. Rest In Peace Tony.

We love you Tony Keck. You were the epitome of what it means to be “All N”. You taught us how to serve and love others. It was clear how much you loved Northwood. We hope you knew how much Northwood loved you! Please keep his family, friends and our staff in your prayers.

Teachers in the U.S. were already weighed down by pressures, including adrift students and political fights over curriculums. After the mass shooting in a Texas elementary school, many wondered how much more they had left to give. nyti.ms/3xxXet1

The day that they arm teachers is the day I grab that backpack and walk out of the classroom forever.

Every educator who did work today or is planning to tomorrow should ask:
What is wrong with our systems that we don’t have enough time Monday to Friday?
& why do we put up with this??

That look of surprise people give you when they assume that this year must be better than last year for all the teachers and you say, "uh...no"

While the media is focused on redistricting maps, North Carolina parents are worried about their kids being forced to wear masks by out of control school districts. It’s time for the Governor to sign the Free the Smiles Act and empower parents. #ncpol #ncga

There isn’t a special formula to build strong relationships with students. It requires frequent 1-1 check-ins that extend beyond academic content. For that to happen, educators need instructional models that allow them to spend less time lecturing and more time in 1-1 discussions

Sometimes kids come to school to learn. Sometimes kids come to school to be loved. Many times kids come to school for both.
