Four words you need to know about explaining: “Explaining does not work.” Didn’t catch it? You know why? Because explaining doesn’t work.

Schools are breaking teachers. I’m fighting for them. Please help me reach the professors who taught you in university—we need to change how pedagogy is taught. Like, repost, and share. Let’s fix the system together!

Some of the worst teacher stress comes from... other teachers.

Some teachers quietly record conversations. Not because they want to—but because it's their only protection.

Teachers teach through fear: fear of lawsuits, fear of retaliation, fear of admin.

Every year, more is asked of teachers—while giving less to support them. #EduSky

Teachers are expected to perform miracles, with no time, no support, and no safety net. I’m going to fix it with Slonig.

Teachers are told to differentiate for every student—but given no time to breathe.

Behind the smile of a teacher is a twitch, a panic attack, or a tear no one sees.

If a teacher says, “I don’t feel safe in my classroom,” believe them. Then ask what you can do to help.

We don’t need perfect kids or perfect teachers. We need partnerships based on respect, honesty, and shared goals.

The best teacher is the one whose name children don't even remember, because the teacher allows them to communicate with each other rather than just with the teacher.

Let’s stop making teachers choose between doing what’s right for the class and keeping their job. They’re stuck in a no-win situation.

Some parents want AI to teach their kids, while others are afraid of AI in schools. The fact is, we still use faxes in schools. No need to rush.

The teachers who stay aren’t staying because it's easy. They're staying because they care. But they shouldn’t have to sacrifice their mental health to do it.
