I'm not paid to listen to parents scream nonsense at me.

Stop overburdening teachers who can "handle" it.

"I've never been this sick." Y'all it was so hard. So hard. But I stayed quiet as long as possible.

I may have made an assumption that the police were at school checking for seat belt use today and shared that with students as they left.

I can't post specifics but the reasons teachers don't stay are so numerous sometimes it shocks me people stay at all.

A modest proposal. Special education staffing is determined by service minutes and intensity of behaviors. Louder again: inclusion without supports is educational neglect for all.

Stop the presses. A CGRP was approved for pediatric migraine.

Middle school baseball is like t ball but with kids pitching. Therefore quite fun.

My mic was a little loud today but next door got to catch some of Wind in the Willows.

"IEPs are so easy for students to get." Meanwhile we have to fight tooth and nail through MTSS and hundreds of interventions and data points and proof that it isn't a language barrier and proof that it isn't an attendance issue....

Louder for the people in the back: inclusion without supports is educational neglect.

2 school instructional coaches but first grade is currently set to have 31 students a piece so far.

When finishing a paper is just a relief not an accomplishment...

Let's all hope the tsunami watches are for nothing.

Look if this is in your reading specialist program I can't take you seriously.

You know a doctor is just visiting and is telehealth if they don't understand why putting a teen to bed at 9 pm in the summer in Alaska isn't going to happen.

If you were to pick a topic to make an annotated bibliography for a course titled Language, Reading, and Culture what would you pick?

Went to go my project watching in my community and ended up doing advocacy work instead. Oops. Extension request submitted.

Writing this pointless paper about my literacy development so I ask my kid who likely has LD & ADHD about their memory and feelings about his. Other than being happy that they could read they don't remember much nor has many feelings about it.

I want to do back to school intensives with reading and math. The most core instruction. It'll look like a ton of interventions plus read alouds to keep building background knowledge from the main ELA curriculum. But I don't know how we can teach "grade level content"

Sen. Dan Sullivan votes to cut public broadcasting.

At least the head of our school district is brutally honest. This is so bad.

I call BS that you can't hear with a mask on. I amplified the bus driver's instructions to use head phones on the bus. Everyone heard bc it turned off a second later.

Buses that run every 15 minutes are treat.

There goes the funding for the most vulnerable students bc Congress is terrible.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

Making sure the teen knows that we have snowy weather in town and to make sure they know how to be prepared. I'm worried too as a great friend of theirs doesn't know if they have snow pants.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws Executive orders are not laws

Teen FaceTimed from Fairbanks. The air quality is in the toilet from all the fires. Ugh gross. I hope everyone makes it out okay.

Sometimes I get ads for mini projectors. I kinda want one so I can teach small groups in different spots in my classroom. (Yes I do know how to teach without screens. )

Over in Porch Goose world some people are protesting too!

Read this book this summer. Then do one thing at a time. It's amazing how much each suggestion helps me be more effective.

Free bus service for youth in Anchorage. This is a real way to show we care about our kids.

My little might not be able to hold two tasks in their head without a list but they do notice when I'm not feeling well.

Thanks to #TXLege, I will receive a 5,000 salary increase as a Texas Teacher. Every penny of that money will go toward my increased insurance premiums through TRS.

You have no idea how hard it is to look in one place the whole time you talk until you do a commercial.

Even if you coach teens don't call for a practice at 10 pm for the next day. Seriously.

Throw grounders? Why yes crazy ball throwing is my speciality.

"Pretend you're a normal patient" my ANP told me as she was helping teach a PA. I laughed.

And teachers are supposed to be embracing this shit in the classroom and teaching students how to use it “responsibly.“ How the hell and why are we supposed to be doing that when this is what the adults are doing?

Ansep summer acceleration academy canceled. It just gets worse and worse.

The campaign has not been subtle. As one Starlink employee put it: “We’re pushing from the top and the bottom to ram this through.”

Sure I've been a classroom teacher for a third of the time of the rest of my team. But the social services background serves my students. Maybe we should stop dumping teachers with other relevant experience to the zero end of the pay scale.

Alaska reads act encourages teachers to not work at title one schools with its uncompensated, burdensome, and pointless documentation requirements.

If another country did this to opposition leaders we’d find a reason to invade and/or bomb it.

Celebrating a student who went to school for 13 years with zero absences is just gross to me. You know they went to school sick.

People ask how I homeschool and work. Bc I get the joy of new books thrust upon me.
