I’m literally begging y’all to care about your child’s education. Check their folder daily. Check their grades. Communicate with the teacher. No one prepared me for the lack of parent interest. Ridiculous.

NC schools lose tens of millions in teacher grants after Trump administration DEI cuts. Department of Education cut $600 million of what it called 'divisive teacher training grants.' Schools say cuts will hurt efforts to staff Title I schools. #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

Rules, high expectations, and empathy are not mutually exclusive.

School leaders are rewarding classrooms for the number of minutes on screens. They buy a (terribly designed) piece of software that was made by the company who provides their (terrible) quarterly screener, and they give prizes to teachers who meet quotas.

Elementary students should not be taking standardized tests. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We create test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.

100% of teachers can eat lunch, go pee, and make copies in less than 10 minutes.

Non-educators don’t understand the day-to-day realities of teaching.

Educators - do not work for free on your weekends and sacrifice family time. Just don’t.

Nobody grew up with the intention of being a cleaner, shelf packer, cashier, security guard, taxi driver, car cleaner, a bartender, or store general worker. We all had big dreams, but life happened. Respect people's jobs.

When Barack Obama was elected as President, 2008.

The neighborhood kids showed up saying “your man is the neighborhood dad,” pure wholesome energy 😂❤️

my mother would've said "would beyonce stand up for you?" and then we would drive home in silence
