Covered a G3 math class today. This is why I have middle schoolers who can’t multiply…

4. Teachers Unions are simultaneously the solution and problem
Im a member of the union & love my union. However they also shield the worst in our profession. The ones you have to cover for every single day bc they just don’t care & know they can’t be fired. It’s frustrating

5. (Lastly) Education is fixable.
Pay teachers livable wages, incentivize majoring in edu, eliminate useless spending on tests, absent positions, & too many online interventions. Teach new parents to parent, return to stricter decorum for students etc
Piece of cake right?! 😅

2. Schools test too much (surprise!)…
For ex: if you were a G1 ESOL student, you sat through 8 separate tests in the last 3 weeks for between 12-15 hours total.
They are 6 years old. That can barely read, & some dont speak English….wth are we doing?

3. Tada —> DATA…
Its all that matters. Not that its reliable, or semi reliable, or even close to being realistic.
Doesnt matter if its collected in a quiet classroom, a house w/ a mouse or a box w/ a fox
Just get it so a rich some1 in an office somewhere can make a decision

1. Dept of Eds will highlight every reason your school is failing, except one - staff vacancies…they avoid it like a water fountain in the pandemic
Like no, we’re 70% staffed with no subs. Do the math & tell me how many SPED/ESOL being serviced or how real instruction happens

Got a new principal. One with a shared vision, so I’ve taken on more admin responsibilities this year due to staff vacancies. Also taking on leadership roles in every aspect - testing, technology, scheduling, school imprv etc
And this is what Ive noticed from behind the curtain

If you’re sharing an Amazon #wishlist this summer, don’t forget to tag your local representatives. They’re not exempt from our digital panhandling

In conversations with two different podcasts @Unpropodcast and @Edu_Chaos, I shared my story and got closure for my experience. I continued to grow and connect with other education professionals on social media and took my #TpT to the next level.

**NSFW (language)**
It’s not just Chicago. This teacher forced to instruct 20 other students around a traumatic meltdown is so relatable.

Please remember that your lessons should reflect DOK levels 3 and 4. Also, students are complaining that your lessons are too difficult, so I need you to modify your lessons to be DOK 1 and 2, which I'll ding you on your eval for not being at levels 3 and 4.

Tomorrow is alma mater day. Staff will be repping their college, frat/sorority.
I will be organizing boxing matches for beefing staff on the black top at 3:30 sharp. $5 for grass seating, $8 for ringside. Proceeds go to the xmas party bar tab.
