Does anyone else find #clearthelist as kind of embarrassing? I mean, for the country. Do other industrialized, wealthy countries force #teachers make public appeals for money in order to buy basic classroom supplies?
Robert McKenzie's obituary aderholdfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Rob…
No one knows what tomorrow brings! Be thankful for today. Loved ones can be gone in a blink of an eye.
So #TxLege, please tell us. How do you live a dignified retirement on $2,145 a month when inflation is at 8-9% across the state? When grocery prices have risen by 5-6% in Texas cities? When home prices & rent payments are skyrocketing?
60% of states have an automatic cost-of-living adjustment in place for their pensions, so the amounts increase with inflation. Texas does not. But our legislators want to rest on the laurels of the one-time “13th check” they passed last year.
The #TxLege Senate Finance Committee meets this morning to discuss its interim charges. On the agenda are “recent reforms” to TRS. That’s great. We should talk about reforming TRS pensions for retired educators. Namely, we should talk about raising them to a livable wage.
Absolutely

They/ them pronoun for multiple people. Don’t care how you identify. Find/ makeup another word you want to identify by. Do not try & change the definition of words.
I’m tired of schools just being expected to do what we can with whatever we are given.
Far too many popular strategies for teaching reading are not actually supported by research. We sifted through to find the ones that are most effective.
End the ban on school districts being able to choose for themselves how to best protect their children. Have a heart and sacrifice a bit of your ideology. It will play far better in the long run for you, @GovAbbott. Kids>>>>>politics

@howie_hua 10% of a number is always easy to get. So, 10% of 300 is 30, which means 5% is 15. Subtract that from 300 to get 285 to get your 95% 👍🏼

So fortunate that this lady has been by my side for 26 years. Couldn’t have done this without you. Here’s to many more years together. Happy anniversary dear. Love you, babe….
I struggle with instructional coaches who have very little experience as classroom teachers -- particularly in core academic subjects. It's difficult to provide meaningful support to people who's positions you don't fully understand.
This is important! 🙌 📷 @edutopia
After this week there is only ONE CLASS that stands between me and my M.Ed… and I am DANG proud of myself. Grad school and a full time job is no joke!
At a school I've never been at before today. Some things I LOVE: PE class has roller skates. Instead of "specials", art, music, pe, and library are called "essentials". Big fan. The arts, movement, and humanities are indeed essential.
