It’s meeeee! And my girl Gabs! 😍 Y’all are not ready for who I turned Jay G💚tsby into. Shoutout to every kid who’s ever been in my American lit class, and especially the class of 2024, who inspired me to write this version.
Please welcome

I teach juniors & seniors & read to them almost daily. As we finished our final novel, one of my seniors said, “I can’t believe this is the last book anyone will ever read to me,” & I felt that in my soul. And that is why I’ll never stop reading to kids & it’s my hill to die on.

One of my friends had her class make cards for Abby Zwerner, the teacher who was shot. One student said she didn’t want to make a card because she didn’t care and the teacher probably did something to deserve it. In case you were wondering where we are in this society.

The constant lowering of standards to teach is such a slap to those who went to school,professionally trained, earned a degree & have made it our life’s work. As this trend continues, the public will continue to lose respect for us & not view us as professionals. So demoralizing.

I’m curious if the “do away w/grades” crowd has Ss who happily do all their work for the love of learning & where is this Utopia they work in b/c I don’t know many Ss who are willing to do things unless it’s for a grade. Many T’s can’t get some to even work FOR grades, so 👀.

What I’ve learned this month:Let 100+ Ss turn in work whenever they feel like it, give feedback on everything, but never grade outside contract hours, let them come 47 min late carrying a latte & wearing a bikini & give them a pen every day b/c the important thing is they came.🫠

I know someone who got hired as a reading teacher & quit in a month. She was an English major in college but not for education. I think she thought all she had to do was read books w/the kids all day & was not prepared for all the actual WORK people don’t seem to know we do.

Them: Teachers are lazy. Teachers are groomers. Teachers shouldn’t be allowed to choose books or to acknowledge to children that gay people or racism exists. Teachers should leave politics out of the classroom.
Also Them: Teachers should have guns.

In my experience, the talking is constant when the room is arranged in groups, so I stopped doing it. I still allow mine to collaborate on most work. The room doesn’t have to be permanently arranged in groups to encourage collaboration.

The school or district. Parents should not have the option to “opt out” of services necessary to keep others safe or keep an undisrupted learning environment. Their “opt out” should be to homeschool. We need to stop letting parents dictate how schools function.

I teach high school & don’t like hmwrk other than reading b/c my Ss have school all day, sports/clubs, jobs. When I have work all day, then a mtg & have to run an errand,by the time I’m home & have dinner, last thing I want is more work. So I don’t want them to have more, either.

I suspect it’s the fallout from 2 1/2 years of Covid “grace.” People can deny it all they want, but many, many students got away with doing nothing or next to nothing, getting credit for turning in anything, etc. I don’t lack compassion for them, but it was out of control.

For me, it wasn’t sticker shock but it was headache medicine. You know how when you’re growing up, aspirin, cold medicine, cough syrup, etc was just always there? My first place, I was there, looking in an empty medicine cabinet going, “Oh. I guess I’m the one who buys that now.”

Because it implies that if students choose not to participate and/or do work it’s because the teacher didn’t “sell” it enough instead of accepting that some students simply don’t feel they need to do the work.
