There are many theories about the rise in teenage mental health issues. A recent study takes an entirely new approach. 🤸

Self-reported grades: ES= 0.96 or 2+years learning When kids compare their evaluations with our feedback, it deepens their understanding of the learning. Self-assessment isn’t just grading, it’s about taking ownership & building lifelong learning.

If you support eliminating the Department of Education, you do not support our students. Period. @USEDgov provides funding for: ✅Students w/ disabilities ✅Rural students ✅Programs that make college affordable This would be bad for students, and bad for America.

Kids need more books and outdoor play. Attention spans and emotional skills depend on it!

trump leaving poor and middle class people out in the cold while only making room for the elon musks of the world is the perfect metaphor for the next four years.

On my first day in office, we stood in a winter of peril and possibilities. Four years later, I'm proud to be handing off an America that is stronger, more prosperous, and more secure. And we did it by believing in you, the American people.

If you think immigrants and trans people are your enemies, and that billionaires and government officials give a shit about you, you have been played. It's that simple. Get your mind unfucked and fast

A reminder before he’s sworn in: Border crossings are way down, deportations are way up, domestic energy production is the greatest it’s ever been, and the American economy has been kicking butt for three years. No matter how much he lies, he’s inheriting a very strong America.

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it.

When you don’t help your kid… •Eat healthy •Obtain 9+ hours of sleep every night •And exercise daily (play) …you don’t get to blame your doctor for your child’s bad health. People need to STOP BLAMING SCHOOLS for kids that are behind. We aren’t a solution for everything.

Schools exist to support families, not replace parents. That means parents need to actually parent, and the govt & communities need to stop treating schools as the fix for bad parenting. If you’re an educator who thinks otherwise, you’ve watched too many teacher hero movies.

Happy #NationalSchoolResourceOfficerDay to Deputy TJ Radka! His dedication, kindness, and commitment to our students make a lasting impact every day. Thank you, Deputy Radka, for keeping our schools safe and building strong connections! #LYPride #LeadLikeALion #NationalSRODay

A school nurse does not fix a broken bone. Why are teachers asked to fix broken mental health?

Report cards should mean something. Graduation used to signal that you finished something difficult, that you worked hard. When we take the rigor out of education, then at the end of it, all we’re left with is a piece of paper.

Just found out I get to spend a few hours with Brian Mendler next Friday! Very excited! #ThatOneKid #LyonsLions

Without understanding where the behavior comes from, it is impossible to fix. There are many reasons kids misbehave & disengage in school. I believe that the need for attention/connection is top of the list. What is your #1 reason? #thatonekid #teachers #BehaviorManagement

And we're the guinea pigs!

If I ran my classroom the way Trump is running this economy? One week. That’s all it would take for the kids to take over and me to be out of a job Anybody who’s ever worked with children could give him some advice about expectations and consistency…

I see we have begun the annual “yoga pants are sinful” online discourse yet again. It’s important to remember… The teaching from Jesus regarding modesty is, “if you lust, gouge your eye out.” It’s not, “if you lust, tell women to dress differently.”

We should really stop telling kids the reason they don't do well on tests is because of anxiety (excepting extreme cases where this might be true), and attribute blame where it belongs: lack of preparation, lack of understanding, didn't ask questions in class, talked through
