So powerful to see two young men like this! Putting all out effort into something, and then the gentleman in blue recognized that sometimes thereโ€™s more to sports (and life) than wins and losses! #feelgood #imnotcrying

Some teachers argue that it should be mandatory for school leadersโ€”or any administrator, for that matterโ€”to teach in some capacity. edweek.org/leadership/teaโ€ฆ

If school districts would take time to ask teachers, if you were to think about leaving, what would it take for you to stay. They would quickly find what they need to focus on to improve teachers working conditions.

As a teacher I tend to be pessimistic, but Iโ€™m trying to change that! I am going to be posting a picture that puts me in a great mood whenever I feel beaten down! This first one is all the amazing parents that came out to volunteer with our winter celebration! WashingtonElementary

Sometimes, when addressing a class, I go, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." It's funny to me to quote Shakespeare to kindergarteners. Then I overheard another teacher address the class, saying, "Friends!" And a kid told her, "Don't forget Romans and countrymen!"

Let me tell you about the electricity and excitement in the air when students received their instrument placement letters at the end of the day! Dobyns-Bennett Band is gonna have some great, passionate kids here in a few years! #rolltribe

I am ashamed to say I voted for this man in the first gubernatorial election, I didnโ€™t make the same mistake this last election cycle. My goodness, by all means ignore the fact that your policies have helped make an event like this easier to happenโ€ฆ #Nashville #Pray #moron
