The Madwoman in the Classroom @heymrsbond

11 months ago

I teach 5 dual credit classes + AP Lit. All my students choose my class and they’re 95% juniors and seniors. Today, I taught a group of on-grade-level freshmen and while I’ve still ‘got it,’ if you teach freshmen: You’re going to heaven. 0 questions asked 😂😭

We're leaving this platform due to the rise in hate speech that targets women and people of color. The new ownership seems to think that is okay. We'll miss all of the voices of so many educators we've come to know & respect here. Find us on LinkedIn and Instagram going forward.

When Tim says “don’t ever underestimate teachers,” we mean it. My parents were educators, and I’ve taught English and served as a school administrator. Tim and I have even shared a classroom, with a divider down the middle. This is the experience we bring to the campaign.

On average, in the United States, substitute teachers earn between $70 and $130 per day. (Yes, I know some districts pay more…but this is the average.) On average, the school day FOR A SUB, is 7.5 hours long. That makes their hourly rate $13.33. 🙄

You can't go wrong with a social studies teacher. Excited to have @Tim_Walz on the ticket. Good to have someone who knows American history.

If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz WIN the election, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a fellow Democrat, would become Minnesota’s next governor. She would be the first female governor in Minnesota and the first Native American woman to serve as governor in the country.

As an introvert… I feel this! Both as a teacher and as a presenter.

Mary Moss is starting her 55th year as an educator. Let me repeat that… 55 years in education. After finding that out, I had to get a picture with her and ask her why she hasn’t retired yet. Her response, “Because I still love it.”

What most people not in the classroom don't get is that the difference between 28 students and 40 students is way more than 12.

A question for teachers/school staff: How much would you have to make annually so you don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck or work extra jobs, and have peace of mind? I’ll start: $100k to $105k. SPOILER: I’m in my 21st year and I’m not even close to that.

Dear Teachers, If you are leaving (or considering leaving) teaching, what is the reason/reasons why?

In light of the release of this year's @RANDCorporation Teacher survey & long-standing shortages & burnout in teaching, should we continue to expect the majority of teachers will stay in the profession for 20+ years in the future? Is that realistic?

2 years ago, a couple who live in Rochester asked me to help them get approval for their granddaughter to leave Ukraine to finish her education as war broke out. On Saturday, she graduated from Century HS and is headed to the U of M. The work we do in @RPS535 truly changes lives.

As part of my son's accommodations, he submits a list of 5 people from his grade that he'd like to have in his class next year, for social comfort. They ensure he gets 2+ of them as classmates. He just gave me his list. He put his teacher's name on the list. 😭 Teachers!❤️
