@palavid @Nefalcon3 If we all stopped buying supplies, if we all worked only our contracted hours, then the public would see.
@Nefalcon3 If teachers refused to spend more than the $250 they can deduct AND fought for better supplies/funding maybe, just maybe, school funding would improve. Maybe teacher unions and parent assoc. should audit school budgets.
@Nefalcon3 If we can’t get what we need, I tell my students why and empower them to come speak up with me at the school board meetings. 2/2
The things a school counselor does. I promised a student I would hold her lizard, Samson, if she graduated by the end of summer school. She did so I had to keep my promise. I didn’t like it.
@B52Malmet Time for Maine taxpayers to sue the state for citizens being required to fund religious education in a Democracy that is supposed to be the hallmark of separation of church and state. This is a winnable case!
I don’t understand why anyone would want to be rude and disrespectful to the people who are literally taking care of their child for 8 hours each day… 🤯

Life can be cruel, unfair, and dramatic. Please tell everyone you love them while you can. Never know when it’s going to be too late.
Happy #NationalKindergartenDay! Shout out to my K teacher, Mrs. Stange, at Avery Elementary in 1979. I will use this important day to advocate for the reinstatement of the #LetterPeople! Nap time would be nice too 😎

Don’t be a networker looking to get. Instead look to give. 1. Give without keeping score. 2. Add value to people’s lives. 3. Lead with love, not an agenda. 4. Find ways to serve. 5. Show you care. 6. Encourage others. 7. Be a connector.

Extending love to our Asian sisters and brothers is NOT anti-Black or shifting focus from the necessary movement to center Blackness #StopAAPIHate
I'm sure this may upset some folks but was recently in a convo about RAMP and all I kept thinking was who cares about RAMP if I'm not an #antiracistSC or working to dismantle the whole damn system. I can obtain RAMP but doesn't mean I'm antiracist. 1of 2 posts
My favorite thing about teaching is simply being in the lives of my kids. That’s it. That gives me life. I love it and I love them.

Today we are reading a study that illustrates how anti-Latinx sentiments are reproduced in social studies curriculum. Unfortunately this is true in too many of our materials and we must do something about it.
