Iโ€™ve just finished reading Jonathan Haidtโ€™s bestselling new book THE ANXIOUS GENERATION. I think it may be the most important nonfiction book of the decade, and today I want to tell you why. ๐Ÿงต

We know what happens. Administrators forget. They forget the daily challenges & stresses teachers face. Perhaps itโ€™s been some time. Perhaps you were never even a teacher. Thatโ€™s why EVERY admin should teach at least one class while they are a principal, superintendent, etc.

We cannot think of schools as the solution for every challenge students face. Thatโ€™s one of the big reasons teachers are in this mess to begin with.

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesnโ€™t mean they arenโ€™t leaders. Many have amazing talents which can benefit the whole school. Good leaders recognize and value them as experts.

U.S. professors - as you update your syllabi for fall, consider leaving November 5 open. Need to reduce as many barriers to voting as we can!

Dear Office Depot: It would be awesome if I could just buy the dang composition notebooks without having to sneak around like a criminal, buying 12 at a time. I need 100 every year and every year itโ€™s a thing. Iโ€™m a teacher. Iโ€™m not selling them on the black market ๐Ÿ˜ญ

There isnโ€™t a โ€˜realโ€™ teacher shortage. There's a shortage of willingness to invest the profession with respect and support. There's a shortage of willingness to make the jobs appealing enough to attract and retain all the people schools want to attract and retain.

Did you know we spend over $8 Billion a year on teacher turnover? Common sense should tell us that If we spent that money on teacher retention, we wouldn't have to spend it on teacher attrition.

Iโ€™d like to hear more principals replace, โ€œShe needs to work on her behavior managementโ€ with โ€œI need to support her better so she can spend less time managing behavior and more time teaching.โ€

One cause of grade inflation: If a student who *canโ€™t even read* is given an A for the semester, it will go unnoticed. There will be no repercussions for a teacher. If that same student is given an F, you will have to justify it, potentially even be pressured to change it.
