Responses from students today when I told them, "a grade does not define you"
"Yes it does."
"Tell that to my parents"
"I need it for my GPA"
What kind of monster have we created...

흑인의 생명은 소중하다.
In Korean, the phrase Black Lives Matter translates to Black Lives Are Precious. You more than matter. You are more than worthy of protection. Black lives are beloved, cherished, dignified, and made in the Image Divine. #BlackHistoryMonth

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

The saddest part is that teachers were trying to ring the alarm on this two years ago and everyone was too busy patronizing them and calling them "heroes" instead of actually listening to their concerns and warnings. So much of this was preventable.
Got my booster and my flu shot today! I'm sure my left arm is going to tell me all about it tomorrow.

We may think we are solving a problem by pursuing “learning loss.” Instead we are framing a deficit narrative about students that perpetuates the very problem it seeks to solve. Instead, let’s talk about “JOY loss” (@GholdyM), cultivating learning LOVE, & an abundance mindset.
I hate standardized tests! What a waste of time and money!
Today I sat through a training for the NWEA MAP tests being given to most NYC students. I can't believe how much time and $ is being spent on these unnecessary, useless, expensive tests. Teachers do NOT need to give tests to measure learning loss. #mtbos #iteachmath #edchat
When my D&D group meets I usually wear the color my character does. But it's also Fall in Oklahoma, and this color is the wrong football team color! 😬 #NotASooner #JustAnElfSorcerer #GoPokes #OkieNerdProblems

New Year, Same Class Sizes
Many of the classes in my district are packed with 35+ kids. Ironically, my first training is on the ‘importance of connecting with students.’
TO THE DISTRICTS THAT DO THIS,
STOP pretending you care about connections when you stuff 30+ kids in a room!

Y'all, please stay off these milk crates... Oklahoma's healthcare system cannot handle it right now...
