If you are a teacher, and your partner or spouse can’t understand why you don’t want to answer a single question when you get home—show them this. This is why I, and many educators, have difficulty answering the simplest questions after a school day.

Add “dumpster diving” to the list of things that teachers will do (but shouldn’t have to or be forced to do) for their students. Today I had the pleasure of visiting BookSmiles and its founder, Larry Abrams, who would do everything he could to get books for his students.

Just in case some of you think I have an agenda (besides doing what’s best for all students, teachers, and schools), I asked ChatGPT: WHO would be affected the most if the Department of Education was abolished. So, here’s what AI thinks… #DepartmentofEducation

Is it a big deal that the Department of Education is taking away the professional status of teachers, nurses, and social workers? It is a VERY big deal. Huge. And it is going to be catastrophic.

Teachers are protesting because we know that abolishing the Department of Education would destroy the last safeguard of equal public education, leaving countless students at the mercy of underfunded, under-resourced, and deeply unequal state systems. #departmentofeducation

I wanted to know how many questions my high school ask on a daily basis, so I counted on a pitch counter. I’m sure I missed a few, but it’s still A LOT🍎😂 I would encourage elementary school teachers to try this, but I don’t think the counter goes that high.👀

As someone who is still learning how to process the loss of his father, this is still the best description of grief that I’ve ever heard. It’s so simple, and so beautifully articulated. Thank you, Andrew Garfield.

Most Americans don’t seem to fully understand what the Federal Department of Education does. If they did, they’d realize how dangerous and reckless it would be to undermine or abolish it. Here are some of the DOE’s responsibilities—and why its absence would be catastrophic.

As teachers are on “summer break,” and still being attacked and demonized, maybe it’s time that we actually talk about the real problems.

For an activity on language, I had my students invent a slang word/phrase and I’d love for you to help me pick which one you could see using and/or being used. Share your favorite in the COMMENTS. Top 5: ghouling, block of ice, textpectation, aurizzma, and losersauce👌🏼

Why is merit pay for teachers a dangerous and dumb idea? For starters, it’s been tried and failed. Student success depends on resources, support, and socioeconomic factors—not just teacher effort and ability. #education #departmentofeducation #meritpay #payteachersmore
