In the last 30 minutes I've talked to two different teachers in the middle of a meltdown and ready to quit. Just to me, just in the last 30 minutes. Instinct is to encourage them not to quit, but it feels wrong to just carry on like this forever
Pretty sure we didn't have a meeting today after school. But also pretty sure I didn't double check the schedule.
I just picked up the honor roll certificates to pass out to my first period class. Only one out of 28. That's too few. But in the past I've complained that 23 out of 28 is too many. So what should be the ideal number?
Scene: A meet the BOE candidates debate hosted by the teachers Union. Me: Mrs. Candidate, your campaign slogan is "It's time for a change" Candidate: Yes, don't you think it is time for a change? Me: Maybe, but you are the incumbent in this race
Tried to push myself at the gym tonight. Pleasantly surprised to find I have another gear I've not felt for a long, long time. Even though I'm really tired, it feels good
Had a meeting on dealing with students who are habitually late to school and teachers first periods get disrupted repeatedly. It was all about how teachers could be better trained to handle the attendance and get them caught up as opposed to expecting students to get here on time
Just got called on in my union rep role. Whether organized or not, it would seem that some of the teacher's in the building are rebeling against always having to do coverage on Fridays because so many people out. People are just not showing up for coverage.

Leadership always crank the teacher dial on the problem-solving control panel because it’s the only one they can control / does anything. They know the student dial is broken and turning it accomplishes nothing.
Friday night out with the boy.
@jonmedeiros @theDRAMAgoat1 @sage_stage They do provide communication to the rest of the students about "where the line is" and remove the distracting student for a period of time, which is a benefit to others. It's not always about the person at hand.
@sage_stage Bring back progressive discipline and get rid of restorative justice practices. Actually suspend students if warranted and if they are violent or in possession of drugs, expulsion.
@sage_stage Additional staff to staff detention and suspension programs. Additional counselors to help students in crisis.
@theDRAMAgoat1 @sage_stage I agree. But teachers are being asked to be counselors too often. They are teachers who aren’t and shouldn’t have to be trained in mental health care. Let them teach.
@sage_stage Non-teacher here. The ratchet of consequences must eventually end in expulsion. Without that end, students who don't care about learning know they can misbehave with no effective consequence. "What are you going to do if I cut detention, give me detention?"
@HowlandKate @JP226kcmo @sage_stage @megpost I think well-meaning schools let this happen. It’s not just parents. We let our standards slide and now no one remembers what they were. (I was a teacher years before I was a parent. Seeing the parent side was eye-opening. This is an adult problem. We let everything go.)
@sage_stage Need parents to have leverage. Take phones away until they do work? Progressive in school suspension for kids who refuse. Better pipelines to trade and alternative programs for hard situations.
@sage_stage @BravesRebsPreds @loobah_l Workplace conditions are far more motivating than salaries in education for most of the country. I believe it was something like 25% of teachers leave the profession entirely after their first two years. There's more, but it's been awhile since I looked at the data for my Masters
@misanthropemime @sage_stage The fact that there is no penalty for lateness does not mean that the due date does not exist.

“Trauma informed” policies are trauma-creating policies insofar as they unleash aggressive kids on the rest of the school population.
@sage_stage I scared a bunch of seniors this week by telling that there are a lot of things I can’t do as a teacher, but one thing I can do is absolutely nothing. As in absolutely nothing to save your grade.
@SarahBBeverly @sage_stage @DrMattParker For kids who are smart say the top 5-10% normal school is fine, that's why there are honors and AP classes and good teachers do know how to push their classes. There is a big difference between that and a top 1%+ who is multiple grade levels ahead. That kid should go elsewhere.
@DrMattParker @SarahBBeverly @sage_stage Why are folks making things complicated, it should all be part of the grade. Did you turn it in on time and was it correct. The "mastery" movement and being soft on deadlines are just 2 of the many failires of modern education philosophy.
@sage_stage @aaronmakelky @carlson_carrie Reformers always want to eliminate the “perks” of teaching, ie tenure, to bring it in line w the private sector. However, they fail to also bring the pay in line. High risk career=high reward ($$).
@sage_stage Makes me think 20-21 school yr—virtual teaching. I dropped pen, bent down out of camera to pick it up, I came up w/an obnoxious wig on…not a word! 5 min later drop pen again, & came up w/diff wig. This happens a few more times b4 someone “said” (typed in chat)something.😂🤣
@sage_stage Until schools are ready and willing to expel students, nothing will change. Parents have failed, they must be held accountable to their poor parenting.
