It’s amazing how many experts on education there are on Facebook. They have never been in a classroom in over a decade and don’t hold a teaching degree, but WOW…they sure know a lot!! 🙄

I will not think about school today. I will not think about school today. I will not think about…hey that’s a great idea for a lesson.

Friday, the day when my lesson plans and I part ways, and I entertain the fantasy that my weekend won't involve a single email from that well-meaning but clueless person.

I wonder how many education initiatives might succeed if they were actually given the necessary timeframe to succeed.

Outside temperature: Arctic. Classroom temperature: Tropical. Navigating the seasonal wardrobe change from the freezing tundra to the classroom sauna is a true teacher's winter sport. 🌬️🔥 #TeacherWeatherReport #FrozenOutsideSweatingInside

Monday, the day when finding a working dry-erase marker is a triumph, and I'm convinced that the classroom thermostat is a mastermind playing mind games. Ready or not, here comes another week of educational adventures. #MondayChallenge #TeacherStruggles

It's perfectly acceptable to miss your students and colleagues over the weekend while simultaneously enjoying your time away from them.

Teaching is like being a motivational speaker, stand-up comedian, and life coach rolled into one. Because who wouldn't want to inspire young minds, make 'em laugh, and occasionally drop some profound wisdom? #TeacherLife

Teachers are returning to school after Christmas break – because apparently, Santa thinks teachers need a different kind of present: a schedule full of meetings. Thanks, Santa. 🎅📚 #GiftsWeDidntAskFor

I survived the holiday sugar rush and endless family gatherings. Now, back to the classroom where my true superpower is turning caffeine into lesson plans. 💪☕️ #TeacherLife

The person in a classroom that does the most talking usually does the most learning.

There's a BIG difference in students learning "bell to bell" and staying busy bell to bell.

If instruction stops after the high stakes test, it's hard to believe your argument that teaching is more than a test score.

I bet students hate when a teacher plans an engaging lesson for a scheduled evaluation then goes back to the same boring crap the next day.

Our professional mandate is to keep students engaged...not keep them busy.

For every teacher saying, "I dread work tomorrow" there are many more students saying, "I dread that teacher's class tomorrow."

If we are not excited about teaching a lesson, how do we expect students to get excited about learning it?

Teaching middle school doesn’t just require a special license; it also requires a pretty unique person who has to be ready for anything.

There’s a special place in heaven for certain ppl in schools: 1. Middle school teachers 2. Pleasant receptionists 3. KG teachers who have 20 kids reading by the end of the yr 4. Custodians who clean baseboards & take the time to talk to students What are some others?
