The “just teach” crowd has no idea what teachers actually do, because, if they did, they would know that schools would not be able to function if all teachers did was just teach. I would love to live in a world where I only had to worry about teaching.

How do you get to be the person that comes in with a minute to spare, iced coffee in hand, with not a care in the world? I’d like to be that chill.

I’m sorry, gentle parents, but “make better choices please” can’t keep a class of 30 thirteen-year-olds in line and focused on their math homework Little Johnny might need a lunch detention

No human, no system, no scholar, no leader, no pastor, no teacher, no politician, no spouse, no neighbor, no foe, no demon or friend has the right to take your faith in Christ from you. They are not him. He is not them. They are clay. He is Rock. They are vapor. He is forever.

My non verbal son just said Ma for the first time. I was asleep and he yelled MA! I said yes? Next thing you know he ran to me and laid on me. The tears won’t stop. He’s trying to talk more and more everyday.

Parents will demand a book be banned from their school library and then let their 10 year old scroll TikTok all day long. SMH

Stop ruminating on your failures. Jesus succeeded where you failed and offers you acceptance.

There are very few, if any, jobs harder than a kindergarten teacher at the beginning of the school year.

My kids were just playing "school" so of course I went in as the admin doing an observation. The lack of written objectives was troubling

Here is his family’s GoFundMe, to help reimburse the burial but mainly to give the family the chance to get out of the city that tried to cover up his death. They are only at $2500 so any little bit helps. Thank you for listening to his story. gofundme.com/f/help-noahs-fa…

Noah Bush, 8 years old, was found drowned in Jesup, Georgia in May 2024. He went out to play with neighborhood kids & never came home. After finding his body in a small body of water the sheriff’s office immediately announced it was accidental & for two months they did nothing.

We need families, communities and students standing together—demanding that educators have the freedom to teach and our students have the freedom to learn.

If you're mad about how many school supplies you have to buy, consider voting for people who want to fund public education. Just saying. #RealTalk

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

In addressing the educator shortage, we can't only talk about recruiting. We must talk about retaining. And we must talk about respect.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can break off your engagement. You don't have to get married if you know it's not right. Even if you have sent out the invites, bought the dress, planned the ceremony, you can walk away.

You can’t tell teachers… ‘You have such an easy job’ ‘You don’t work many hours’ ‘You get summers off’ If it’s so great, why does America currently have the biggest teaching shortage in US history?
