At our next faculty meeting, I'll be recognizing the great teachers on our campus. And when I say great teachers, I mean those who praise all of my initiatives and always tell me exactly what I want to hear.

We've hired a differentiating instruction consultant who is going to teach the staff how to differentiate their instruction by reading from a PowerPoint and not differentiating their presentation.

Remember when I sent you negative walkthrough results because you were 3 days behind the pacing guide? Well, this time you're getting negative results because you're a week ahead of the pacing guide.

Remember when we told you that students who completed our Tier-1 RTI for semester 1 would move to Tier 2 for second semester? Well, funny thing, I decided to have them go through the Tier-1 process again instead of moving them to Tier 2.

Malicious compliance at its best. Reap what you sow.

If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.

How many Black lives could have been saved if police departments had the de-escalation skills of special education teachers, social workers, or mental health professionals?

the funniest thing about masking when nobody else around you is masking is that a lot of them treat u like u are carrying the virus that they allegedly don’t care about and avoid u

It costs $0.00 to chew with your mouth closed.

I just remembered that the sheets and duvet cover are in the dryer and I’d almost rather book a hotel room for the night than deal with all that

I Fought for Schools to Open During Covid, so I Could Fight Even Harder to Destroy Public Education Altogether

ADHD is spending all day cleaning but somehow the house looking worse at the end of it.

The ADHD urge to abandon a project and lose all motivation once you can see the finish line.

Focusing on the real-world applications of math seems like a way to make it more concrete for students. But the adult world is abstract to kids; they have no experience with it at all. Prepare them for it, yes. Expect them to comprehend it in the here and now, no.

One of the things I’m battling as a teacher more this year than ever before is this like, performative helplessness/incompetence. I have *so* many kids this year who are just committed to the bit that they have no idea what’s going on or how to do anything

“Are we doing anything in class today?”

The student who you claim stole your phone did have your phone, but they said it was an accident because they thought it was their phone. It made sense to me, so I gave them some Reese's and sent them back to your class.

I just want to say, for the record, and on behalf of teachers everywhere, that bulletin boards and door decorating are a lot harder to do than you think they are.

My favorite ADHD gift is the confidence that I can do just about anything if I find it interesting enough.
