Now he’s singing a shanty. Lol. Now we got some marriage issues. ā€œWhat am I gonna tell the kids?ā€ ā€œTell the kids I’m going fishingā€ Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her viginity; not a bad record for this vicinity. 25/

A former extrovert like my grandpa, now I’m mostly alone b/c people deny me access. It hurts. I spend more time with the dead than the living. But ghosts are good company. They teach me to be in the world in a way that’s different. To move in love. ā€œAccess is loveā€ — @SFdirewolf

It looks like we won't be able to fill the vacant 9th grade science position and their students will be distributed to the other 3 of us left. That's cool, can we split that person's salary too?

They remind me of the moms screaming at Ruby Bridges 60 years ago.

I know you're thinking that the board doesn't care about the teacher shortage, but they really do. In fact, they have made it their top priority and will spare no expense to make sure that we don't lose any of our CO, administrative talent.

So, @mikepompeo, someone who enabled dangerous people, says that teachers’ unions are dangerous?

I’m surprised it’s that low. I always see men getting dumped/getting served w/divorce papers. I certainly was the one who kicked MY husband out the door and outta my life.
The fact that nearly 70% of divorces in this country are initiated by women should tell you all you need to know about the joy and fulfillment you will supposedly find as some dude’s live-in maid.

Teachers, RT this if it is impossible for you get your grading, planning, parent/guardian outreach and all other additional requirements (on top teaching) completed during your contractual hours. Just curious.

When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, ā€œMama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.ā€ So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:

Paul Gosar doubled down on his tweet that had earned him a Congressional censure by retweeting it just an hour after the vote. @Twitter, it's time to suspend his account for continuing to support political violence. Raise your hand if you agree.

people who disparage libraries by calling them ā€œgentrificationā€ have no idea how central libraries are to the lives of poor people and poor communities.

Please stop saying that we need to increase teacher salaries in order ā€œrecruit the best and brightestā€ as if the best and brightest are not currently teaching. We need to increase teacher salaries because those currently teaching deserve and earned it.
